Initially gaining exposure for his work as a graffiti artist, Goldie became well known for his pioneering role as a musician in the 1990s UK jungle, drum and bass and breakbeat hardcore scenes. He released a variety of singles under the pseudonym Rufige Kru and co-founded the label Metalheadz. He later released several albums under his own name, including the 1995 album Timeless, which entered the UK charts at number 7.

Goldie’s acting credits include the 1999 James Bond film The World Is Not Enough, Guy Ritchie’s Snatch (2000) and the BBC soap opera EastEnders (2001–2002). He has also appeared in a number of celebrity reality television shows, including Celebrity Big Brother 2 (UK), Strictly Come Dancing, Come Dine with Me and Maestro.

By 1991, Price had become fascinated by the British breakbeat music scene when his girlfriend, DJ Kemistry, introduced him to the pioneering jungle and drum and bass producers Dennis “Dego” McFarlane and Mark “Marc Mac” Clair, known as 4hero.

In 1992, Price made his first record appearance by contributing to an EP by Icelandic group Ajax Project that included the track Ruffige. For many years, the track was repeatedly misattributed to Price himself, perhaps because of his subsequent use of “Rufige” as moniker for his own releases.

His releases Killa Muffin b/w Krisp Biscuit and the Dark Rider EP were released under the alias “Rufige Cru” on Reinforced. His track “Terminator”, released under the name “Metalheads” in 1992, was a hit in the jungle scene and is noted for pioneering the use of time stretching. In 1993, he released Angel, another 12″ on the Synthetic Hardcore Phonography label. 1994 saw him setting up his own record label, Metalheadz.

His first studio album, Timeless, followed in 1995. Timeless entered the UK Albums Chart at number seven. The album fused the breakbeats and basslines common in jungle with orchestral textures and soul vocals by Diane Charlemagne. The album’s title track was a 21-minute symphonic piece. “Inner City Life”, a track from the album, reached number 39 in the UK Singles Chart.

In 2017, the Goldie album The Journey Man was released, which Price described as his “magnum opus” and “the most important thing that I’ve ever made.”

In 2020, Goldie launched his new record label, Fallen Tree 1Hundred.

This station started after SPEC Radio closed in 1992, playing cassettes for weeks on end and linking over Pukar Radio at one point.

This caused the Pukar DJs to rant with fury, “SPEC Crew, we know it’s you, 105 is Pukar’s frequency”, once the link jamming had stopped and Pukar’s audio returned. Raw FM then started broadcasting programmes properly.

Many of the SPEC DJs appeared on the station, but one of the DJs who hadn’t previously appeared on SPEC went on to win a Mercury prize for his album “New Forms” in 1998 – Roni Size.

Roni’s show didn’t last long as the station was getting requests for even more Reggae than it was currently playing, so the 2 hours of Jungle per week had to go. Raw FM was a different station to R.A.W. Radio at the end of 1988, but it did share some DJs and possibly even the management.
