According to Pete Tong ...
"Welcome to the Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1 my name is Pete Tong and this is where we showcase the worlds best dance DJ's and producers from the world of electronic music. This weels guest is an unique character in dance and in urban music. The first time I met this guy he came into my office when I was runnning a recoed company, FFRR, in the mid 90's and he totally terrorised me. He brought his pitbull dog in. He didn't want to like me and he didn't want to sign to anybody. Erm and it was one of the most difficult meetimgs I ever took as an A&R guy. Anyway, to cut a long story, He did sign to FFRR and he did put out one mighty fine album. You could say he well and truely put drum & bass on the map through his Metalheadz label and that first album "Timeless". He got so big after that he even went toe to toe with 007 on the big screen. Not to mention a fine cameo in Eastenders. But he is about to go back to his roots and release a new album on Metalheadz called "Malice In Wonderland" its a kind of homeage to those mid 90's drum & bass parties and the incredible music that spilled out of the "Blue Note" in Hoxton Square in London. He is Clifford Joseph Price A.K.A. Goldie and he is back, larger than life, on Radio 1's Essential Mix............. "
