Anthemic house delivered in a tasteful fashion...*The Golden Boy* took his name from a piece of street art in his native Birmingham, a cocky but straightforward assertion from the rising producer.
Although he's been making music for almost a decade now, the producer only began to catch wider attention about 18 months ago.
A series of high profile slots was followed by a bass-heavy re-work of Lauryn Hill's 'Doo Wop (That Thing)' – before Kerri Chandler came calling.
The house guru signed The Golden Boy to his MadTech imprint, releasing an EP of strident, bass-flavoured electronics.
Set to dominate the summer, Clash invited The Golden Boy to craft a special instalment of our weekly mix series. Opening with Jovonn and Cockney Lama, it's a dextrous, diverse yet ultimately direct selection from a talent who knows how to work the floor.
Check it out now.
