Urban Cookie Collective biography

Behind Urban Cookie Collective stands Rohan Heath, keyboardist, who writes and produces the songs. The female vocalist was Diane Charlemagne, who also took part to the writing of some of the songs. The other members are Simon Bertall (born on the 17th October 1967) and Peter Samson (bongo player, born on the 15th of May 1968). Also were included, Marty (MC) and DJ Pete (DJ). Some guest rappers also took part to the project : Lovedog on High On A Happy Vibe, 8 Bar Wizard on Spend The Day.

UCC achieved a major breakthrough in 1993 with The Key : The Secret, one of the most riveting dance tracks of the season, peaking #2 in the UK, and #5 in the sales charts in Germany. It was originally a track written at home by Heath, in a soul/hip hop vein, produced by Chapter And The Verse on the tiny Unheard Records imprint. However, after a remix provoked a massive club response it was picked up by Pulse 8, who also issued a double album the same year. A special UK remixes CD was also released for this single.

The follow-up Feels Like Heaven was also very successful, it reached UK charts position #5, and #12 in the German sales charts.

Then came the singles Sail Away, which reached #18 in UK charts and #25 in German sales charts, then High On A Happy Vibe, which only scored #31. The follow-up singles Bring It On Home, So Beautiful, Rest Of My Love, Spend The Day, Ain't It A Shame (featuring the voice of Rachel McFarlane from N-trance) and more recently Champagne Supernova were not very succesful.

The Key The Secret was recently covered by Phobos & Deimos. The Love Parade 2003 theme also used the same sample.

2013 : The Key The Secret was covered by SAIFAM project DJ Space'C.

UCC are touring with their new vocalist Danielle Barnett.
