The DJs behind the sound.

Interviews

G.E. Real

GE Real was a DJ who played major early-90s raves including Fantazia, Dreamscape and Jungle Fever, starting out in Birmingham in 1992. Known for very fast mixing (self-described as 'one of the quickest in the UK'), he produced oldskool and early jungle mixes around 1992-93 and worked alongside MC Chickaboo, who started out performing with him. He has since passed away.

Gammer

Gammer is a UK hardcore DJ and producer who rose through the mid-2000s scene and often played back-to-back with Dougal. He later became known for crossing UK hardcore with bass music on a wider stage. His mixes include Deka Dance XII (2005), Slammin Vinyl & Hardcore Heaven's Westfest (2007), HTID In The Sun (2007), Uprising (2009) and Slammin Vinyl's Transmission (2009-10).

Gemini

Genetic

Happy hardcore DJ recorded at Adrenaline's 'Spring' event in 1997, alongside X Cess.

Goldie

Goldie (Clifford Joseph Price, born 19 September 1965, Walsall) is a music producer, DJ, graffiti artist and actor. After a difficult childhood in foster/care homes he first found expression as a self-taught graffiti artist, before his girlfriend DJ Kemistry introduced him to the drum & bass scene and to Dego and Mark Mac, who taught him breakbeat production. In 1994 he co-founded the label Metalheadz with Kemistry & Storm, which — alongside Rob Playford's Moving Shadow and LTJ Bukem's Good Looking Records — helped define drum & bass as a genre. His 1995 debut album 'Timeless' reached UK #7; his 1998 follow-up 'Saturnz Return' featured guests including KRS-One, Malcolm McLaren, Trevor Horn and Noel Gallagher.

Grooverider

Raymond Bingham (b. 1967), British drum and bass DJ who rose to prominence with Fabio via the legendary 'Rage' residency at Heaven (from 1991) and their long-running BBC Radio 1 show (1998-2012), which helped bring D&B to the mainstream.

Gwange

DJ Gwange (Simon Matthews) released atmospheric jungle, drum & bass and hardcore in the early 1990s. Between 1993-94 he released several 12"s on Legend Records (UK)” including 'New Creation/Vinyl Paradise' and 'Motionless/Adrenalin' (the latter highly regarded within the jungle community) plus entries in the Legendary Volume series. Legend Records was co-founded by Matthews with Jason Greenhalgh (Q-Project) and Paul Smith (Spinback) in 1993; Matthews left in 1995 and the label folded shortly after under financial pressure.
