Goldie, whose album Timeless helped bring drum and bass to a wider audience, played the second date of fabric and Sennheiser’s 2026 series at the Shard.
Goldie, the Wolverhampton-raised producer whose 1995 album Timeless helped popularise drum and bass, played The View from The Shard at London Bridge on Saturday 12 September 2026.
He was born in Walsall, of Jamaican and Scottish heritage, and first made his name as a graffiti artist across the West Midlands. His nickname is a shortened form of Goldielocks, from his years in a Birmingham breakdance crew.
In 1991 the DJ Kemistry introduced him to the producers of 4hero. His 1992 track “Terminator”, released as Metalheads, pioneered time-stretching, and in 1994 he set up the Metalheadz label.
The title track of Timeless ran to 21 minutes. He later acted in the Bond film The World Is Not Enough, in Snatch and in EastEnders.
The set ran from 22:00 to 03:00 and was the second of five dates in fabric and Sennheiser’s 2026 series at the viewing gallery. Sven Väth had opened it in August.
