Goldie releases Subjective album with James from Ulterior Motive

DJ, producer, visual artist, actor and visionary Goldie MBE joins forces with revered engineer and producer James Davidson under the alias Subjective.

There are few names in the music industry that have achieved such a profound impact upon the culture of dance music as Goldie. Since his boundary-pushing debut Timeless, he has continued to create, challenge and revolutionise a sub-culture already known for its experimentation.

Making up the other half of Subjective is James Davidson, described by Goldie as an “exceptional engineer and an unsung producer in his own right” - who has previously released via Metalheadz (under the alias Ulterior Motive with Greg Hepworth), and also helped produce Goldie’s 2017 album The Journey Man. This relationship organically progressed on to collaborating in the studio, “following the water as opposed to a strict concept”, Goldie adroitly explains. This was the birth of Subjective.

“This album isn’t just Ulterior Motive and Goldie, it’s a vision of Subjective”, explains James. “It was really exciting to have no boundaries on what we were writing, not restricted by the BPM or anything else - we just went wherever the smiles were.”
