Jungle pioneer Ray Keith is releasing a biography, Dark Soldier
It's a story of UK Culture, jungle music, personal growth and self-development
Essex jungle pioneer Ray Keith is set to release a biography.
Written in collaboration with journalist Dave Jenkins, Dark Soldier is a 650-page account, described as a "unique multi-layered tale that shows the true soul behind Ray's many aliases".
Featuring contributions from the likes of Fabio & Grooverider, Goldie and more, the biography is said to be a "story of UK Culture, jungle music, personal growth and self-development" tracing Keith's "adverse and challenging" childhood to his rise in UK club culture across three decades.
Dark Solider is published on Friday, 26th November. Pre-order here.
Working primarily in jungle and drum & bass, Keith has released nine studio albums to date, and has performed under aliases including Renegade, Armageddon and Babylon 5. He is also the uncle of Peter O'Grady aka Joy Orbison.
