Starting next Friday, Goldie’s headline slots in the XOYO "basement" will run throughout July and August, ending on September 3 with a final show featuring a b2b from drum ’n’ bass legend Doc Scott.

Goldie’s weekly headline slot comes 25 years after the release of his debut record ‘Timeless’ which is still regarded as one of the greatest and most groundbreaking albums within the jungle scene.

Released in 1995, ‘Timeless’ received a hugely positive critical reception and quickly shot up to number seven in the Top Album Charts. Now, some 25 years later, the DJ is returning to the scene with fresh faces.

The pioneer will be bringing new DJs to XOYO such as Ant TC1, Lenzman, Grey Code, and Artificial Intelligence.

Goldie announced the news on Twitter last night saying, “PROUDLY ANNOUNCING MY XOYO RESIDENCY - LET'S DO THIS!!!” - alongside a full line-up of names.
