Metalheadz Ltd
Metalheadz Ltd is a revered British record label that specialises in the drum and bass music genre. The label was co-founded by Goldie, a significant artist in the drum and bass scene, along with Kemistry & Storm, in 1994. Rooted in London, Metalheadz has been instrumental in shaping the city's underground music scene, becoming synonymous with forward-thinking, innovative drum and bass.
A key strength of the label lies in its knack for tapping into the creative potential of budding artists, aiding their evolution into formidable forces in the music industry. With a rich and diverse roster, notable acts like Photek, Dillinja, Grooverider, and Doc Scott have significantly contributed to establishing the label's distinctive sound – a strategic mix of breakbeats, deep basslines, and complex melodies.
Metalheadz holds a commendable catalogue of groundbreaking releases. These include Goldie’s influential “Timeless” album in 1995 and Photek's "Modus Operandi" in 1997, both adding significant value to the drum and bass genre.
The label also gained recognition for its infamous 'Sunday Sessions' at the Blue Note club in Hoxton. These events cemented Metalheadz' reputation as an ageless conduit of high-quality drum and bass, and a cornerstone of the UK rave scene. Metalheadz has continuously evolved, driven by a relentless ethos to advance the drum and bass genre, while preserving its quintessential roots.
