GIANT STEP and Matt E. Silver present GOLDIE,
London's chief innovator of the drum 'n' bass movement worldwide,
in a full live band show - ONE NIGHT ONLY at New York's IRVING PLAZA !
Since the birth of the drum' n' bass (jungle) movement Goldie
has been one step ahead of the game, not only in his raging bass
heavy tracks played at almost any jungle rave you've been to, but
also through the creation of METALHEADZ, the title used for both
his Sunday club night held at London's Blue Note and his powerhouse
record label housing some of the UK's top in the field. Most will
remember his debut album "TIMELESS" becoming an instant classic after
it s 1995 release (FFRR Records) fueled by the smooth vocals and
dancefloor sequences found in the smash hit "INNER CITY LIFE".
Keeping in this tradition of pushing to new heights, Goldie steps on
with "DIGITAL", the single featuring KRS-ONE from GOLDIE'S upcoming new
milestone album "SATURNZ RETURN." (Jan '98).
Join us for the LONG AWAITED - MUCH ANTICIPATED full live show of drum 'n
bass
maestro GOLDIE with a full live band, BUT DO NOT SLEEP. THIS WILL SELL

*** GIANT STEP presents URBAN TAP ***
One would not expect that plywood stage could become the drum
leading the styles of a new unique band. It becomes less surprising
as you find that the drum is not struck by wooden sticks but by the
rhythm backed steel tips of tap shoes.
Rolling on the premise that your feet can be part of the band,
Giant Step presents an unforgettable night of URBAN TAP hosted by
the multi-faceted styles of Herbin Van Cayseele.
Taking impressions left from tap icons such as Gregory Hines
and Jimmy Slyde, Herbin moves to challenges the crowd comining tap,
drum 'n' bass, Brazillian rhythms and jazz to bring the noise and take
the funk to the street level. Combining shattering rolls of toe-heal with
smoothed out graceful slides, he makes his job look simple, even going
as far as to battle an on stage DJ scratch for scratch.
Herbin joins the stage as part of the band including Jay Collins (sax),
Madou (djembe), Tanveer (tablas) and DJ Jes Grew. Special guests on the
taps
are Max Pollak, Rod Ferrone and the legend Buster Brown.
And it doesn't stop there as Urban Tap takes on the sky scrapers with a
breathtaking stilt dance with Vado and exibitions of the power and grace
of
Brazilian Capoeira by Cabello. The night climaxes with an all out
freestyle
session and tribute to the masters.
Herbin uses the stage as his canvas, his shoes as the brush and the
skills of his multi talented crew to paint a picture sound and motion.
Come witness the work of art come together

Giant Step presents Direct from the U.K., in their U.S. DEBUT,
* OLIVE - LIVE *
Their melting pot of sounds has lead this U.K. outfit to the
top of the British singles charts with their smash single
"YOU'RE NOT ALONE", and has given them the title of electronica's
pop sensation. Mixing personal topics written by Tim Kellett,
Olives keyboardist / hornsman, with the sultry uplifting vocal
qualities of lead Ruth-Ann Boyle, and the programming and keyboard
skills of Robin Taylor Firth, they presented the August release of
"EXTRA VIRGIN"(RCA/BMG).
Together they take you through soundscapes venturing into trip pop
R&B and down tempo tech-edged dub, laced by drum 'n' bass and samba
rhythms. Definitely a tasty treat for your ears.
OLIVE will be performing with a full live band ! (9PM)
