Known for his huge house anthems as Paul Woolford, and heavier dancefloor fillers as Special Request, this remix tastefully layers sections of CAS’s bars with rolling breaks and a heavyweight bassline.

The original version of “Still The Same” features on the recently-released, acclaimed album Alpha Omega by Rufige Kru. Consisting of twelve groundbreaking new tracks which bring together Goldie’s unerring dancefloor suss and the impeccable technical prowess of Submotive (real name James Davidson), Alpha Omega is Rufige Kru’s deepest outing so far – a reminder of exactly why drum and bass remains the most exhilarating, groundbreaking and electrifying music on the planet.

Upon its release, new album Alpha Omega was praised by the likes of DJ Mag, who hailed it “an impressive record from an artist still innovating over three decades into his career” in their review of the album, and Music OMH noted: “capturing urban claustrophobia as well as wide open, dystopian soundscapes with unerring accuracy, the invention is flowing as freely as it ever has.”

Goldie is currently touring across the UK and Europe this summer, performing both live and DJ sets. He’ll return to the U.S. this fall with scheduled appearances at III Points Festival in Miami, FL on October 17 and at DUCTWORK at SILO in Dallas, TX on October 19.

About Rufige Kru: 
One of the most revered names in breakbeat science, Rufige Kru rewired the dancefloor for the first time back in 1992 with the hardcore classic ‘Darkrider’. Back then, Goldie’s musical partner was hip hop fanatic Linford Jones. “He had a fantastic record collection,” remembers Goldie. “I had a field day going through his records and pulling out breaks.” Engineer Mark Rutherford – who also worked with Peter Gabriel and Mark McLaren – was another early collaborator.

The partnership yielded pivotal hardcore moments like ‘Ghosts Of My Life’ and ‘Terminator’ (still considered one of the key moments in the evolution of drum’n’bass). It’s a testament to the alchemy itself, that no matter who Goldie has worked with – or taken under his wing – the Rufige sound remains consistently forward-thinking and innovative.

Though Goldie’s groundbreaking debut album ‘Timeless’ and its 1998 follow-up ‘Saturnz Return’ broke through into mainstream success, he continued the sonic explorations of Rufige Kru with two had found a new musical partner, Heist/Strider mainman Jim Muir. And then, of course, there was the first all-time drum’n’bass classic of the new millennium: Rufige Kru’s 2001 masterpiece ‘Beachdrifta’. Recorded with Danny Goldstein, it was a record that – like ‘Ghosts’ or ‘Terminator’ before it – just turned everything upside down.

So much so that, in 2017, when Goldie played two memorable nights at Ronnie Scott’s, the live rendition transformed the venerable jazz club into a 4am rave.

“Sometimes you catch lightning in a bottle,” recalls Goldie. “That was one of those times.” Now he’s done it again with the new record. Turning drum’n’bass inside out, reframing the breakbeat, setting the agenda all over again. “I’ve travelled with James (Submotive) through every angle of this game and now he’s a formidable partner in the Rufige Kru echelon….boss levelz.”

“I’ve gone back to my roots,” concludes Goldie. “That’s a beautiful thing for me. I’ve spent a lot of time honing my craft, developing these concepts, assembling all these moments. But that sense of possibility – what kept me going in the early days – is still there. I’m still as excited by this music and where it can go as I was all those years ago. The only limit is my imagination.”
