'Gold Digger' usually means 'money hungry and shallow' – these guys are anything but. In fact, what's in a name is this: there is real gold out there, amidst the gloom, but it doesn't take the form of dollars, pounds or bullion bars. The real prize is living life with passion and pleasure. That's your life. This is your soundtrack.

Formed in 2004, Gold Digger are a music collective consisting of seven active members. Working out of their studio (the 'Moon Hut'), Gold Digger produce music ranging from downtempo electronica to banging dance-rock anthems. Their live shows are often electronic jams that bring together the euphoria of rave and the raw energy of rock.

Gold Digger provide a spinning, glitzy, neon, shabby-chic snapshot of the state of the nation whilst referencing earlier eras of discontent, drudgery and dissatisfaction. That is not to say the music is glum and depressing – far from it. Light shines most brightly through the fog and with the UK in the grip of grey skies, grey attitudes and a downright black economic outlook, this musical celebration of life, love and joy sparkles like a beacon in a pea-souper. The last cataclysmic economic crunch in Britain resulted in Acid House when a generation rejected the selfishness and false promises of Thatcherism and created a 'You' movement based on community, acceptance and the transforming power of music.
