Listen "DJ GoldTooth: Tamil naming traditions, identity and confusion"
Episode Synopsis
Listen to GoldTooth reflect on his birth name, Tamil naming traditions and how he came up with his DJ name.
GoldTooth is a British-Tamil producer, selector & curator hailing from South London.
Having spent his formative years listening to the sounds of Tempa, DMZ, Metalheadz, Lord Of The Mics, Eskimo Dance, Hessle Audio & Boy Better Know, to name a few, he has grown to become a master purveyor of underground electronic music and has recently been inaugurated as one of the newest members of the BBC Asian Network family.
As skilled behind the decks as he is in the studio, GoldTooth expertly blends traditional sounds from his motherland with modern underground beats to create a truly unique acoustic experience that shifts between the likes of A.R. Rahman & Unknown T at the flick of a beat.
