damn right productions (DRP) was established during the golden era of underground UK Garage and continues to hold its respected legendary status within the scene. The enduring love for original Garage sounds, alongside the huge resurgence of vinyl culture, has seen DRP regroup and begin releasing music once again.

MJ Cole & Memzee Reunite on “SEXIFY”
DRP Music continues to push the sound of UK underground dance culture with the release of “SEXIFY”, one of several collaborations between legendary UK Garage pioneers MJ Cole and Memzee.
Having first become involved in the Garage scene around 1996, MJ Cole achieved his major breakthrough with the seminal release “Sincere” in 1998 and went on to cement his reputation as one of the most respected producers and remixers in UK dance music history.
Long before that breakthrough, MJ Cole had already built a strong creative relationship with Memzee, widely recognised as one of the original full vocalists of early UK Garage.
Among Memzee’s most-loved underground releases are:
- “Just A Feeling” with Catch Productions
- “Sax In The Ghetto” with Banana Republic
- Collaborations with FRD Productions and many others
Together, MJ Cole and Memzee created several celebrated Garage records that helped define the sound and spirit of the era.
