If there was one face which came to represent the drum'n'bass movement, it would have to be that of Goldie, with his gold teeth and rough rude-boy looks.
Clifford Price (right) was the first superstar to emerge from this tough musical subculture which blended bass-heavy Jamaican influences over rapid-fire broken beats, and rode the wave of the drum'n'bass explosion to also establish careers as an actor and visual artist.
Born to a Scottish pub singer and a Jamaican-born factory worker in 1965, Price was put in a care home when he was three, and for the next l5 years he was shuffled between foster homes and institutions, finding solace in graffiti art and breakdancing. A fascination with the early rave music and breakbeat scene led to him turning his hand to production in the early 1990s, and through his new label Metalheadz released the early genre classics Terminator and Angel.
But it was during the heyday of drum'n'bass in the mid-1990s that Price achieved the sound's first crossover hit with Inner City Life, an expansive, orchestral epic with soulful vocals from Diane Charlemagne which hit No21 on the British charts and propelled his debut album, Timeless, to No7 - a first for the genre.
A fast rise to fame followed, along with stereotypical celebrity behaviour - he dated Bjork and Naomi Campbell, developed a drug problem, and took self-indulgence to a new level on his poorly received follow-up album Saturnz Return, which featured an hour-long orchestral number, Mother, as its opening track.
