NOOKIE & COLIN STEVEN IN CONVERSATION
As part of their continuing series celebrating British music culture, Soundstage Hi-Fi is pleased to welcome pioneering jungle producer, DJ, and remixer Nookie alongside Colin Steven of Velocity Press on Thursday 4 December.
A foundational figure in the birth of jungle, Nookie – aka Gavin Cheung – helped define the genre’s euphoric blend of rolling breakbeats, soulful pianos, and deep, system-shaking basslines. From early anthems like “Give a Little Love” and Cloud 9’s “You Got Me Burnin’” to era-defining classics such as “Only You,” “The Sound of Music,” and engineering work on The Renegade’s “Terrorist,” his fingerprints are all over the sound that shaped a generation. Nookie will be joining us to discuss his life in music and spin formative tracks on our Technics 1210s through the TPI system – a rare chance to hear these tunes on true high-fidelity audio.
Alongside him, Colin Steven, founder of Velocity Press and former editor of the influential Knowledge Magazine, will bring his deep archival knowledge of drum & bass culture. He’ll be presenting and selling essential books, including Who Say Reload, Knowledge 25th Anniversary, State of Bass and How You Make Me Feel, offering context and stories from decades inside the scene.
Tickets are extremely limited. Email Dean or call 020 8440 9509 to reserve your place.
