    Goldie

  • By Damian Bennett

    Posted: Mon Aug 11

  • If this night was any more hazardous, any more primed to detonate on so many levels, then the Scala would be transformed into a quarantined ‘Entry to Authorised Personnel Only’ affair, off-limits to those not adequately equipped with regulation safety gear.

    Hell, Goldie (pictured) going back to back with Doc Scott alone is worth the inevitable round-the-corner roadblock, the latter for his magical je ne sais quoi, as once so elegantly described by Marcus Intalex, who’s also on the bill and hopefully drawing back to a certain ‘Universe’, considering he is set to dig deep into the Soul:R Records canon. Goldie himself will hopefully drop some serious bombs from the recent, blazing ‘Sine Tempus’ LP – hunt it out down at metalheadz.co.uk immediately.

    But that is only a slim, toxic fragment of what’s on tonight. Sub Focus will step up, flushed with the success of ‘Timewarp’, the Battlestar Galactica Cylon-style stomp that could well be the next ‘Bodyrock’. Aston analogue argonaut Hazard – what can follow the ‘Machete Bass’ EP, what exclusives will be drawn? – during whose set the venue will disintegrate into a mega mosh, not to mention zeitgeist gully assassin Lynx; the badassed Heist, and there’s Caspa, who’ll throw down such juddering dubstep magnificence over the course of two hours that the local shopkeepers and train services may well be in uproar. Finally, there’s A Guy Called Gerald (Yes, him! ‘Voodoo Ray’!) but with a complete live band featuring The Jungle Drummer and Diane Charlemagne. It’s red zone central – a scene in rude health. Standard business, then.
