"Hi! We're from 1Xtra!" When Bailey doorsteps Goldie at Metalheadz mansions he gets a proper warm drum and bass greeting from the legendary artist. |

Our host gives us a tour of the house. First stop the studio. Goldie's a bit worried about what we might find in the 'creative chaos'...

Where's Bailey? Nowhere to be seen when Goldie pulls out his mate, Lanny. Yes, it is a boa constrictor and it's not a little'un.

Goldie's place has plenty to look at. This is his gold Metalheadz Ducati. It's one of only a thousand, it's never been ridden and it lives in his 'thinking room'. It's a good look. |

It's a perfect day to visit Goldie's manor. He's even got the BBQ going in his garden for the 1Xtra visit. Check the palm trees (to remind him of Miami) and the pool house at the end of the garden.

After the tour it's down to the business of the interview, and Goldie doesn't disappoint. With disarming honesty he takes Bailey through his life's journey from the days of graffiti in New York through to the making his new album, Sine Tempus (Without Time), revealing the highs and the lows of 'being Goldie'. |

The sun is shining, the BBQ is fired up, the interview is in the bag, it's time for the boys to tuck into the spread...

...although there's always time for just one more Goldie anecdote. He conducts his story in front of his new painting...one of his first in six years. |

At the end of a great day, Goldie rides off into the sunset leaving behind only a puff of blue smoke. |
