Don-E broke onto the music scene in the Nineties on Island Records with his now classic underground club and sound system smash ‘Unbreakable’ and the Top 20 hit ‘Love Makes The World Go Round’. The new album is a beautifully crafted collection of songs from the up-tempo party vibe of the opening track ‘i got it’(Barkays Open up your heart) to the infectious Eighties-flavoured Barry White Early Years groove ‘Feelin U’. Don-E's additional production on the tracks brings them right up to date with the sonics of the 21st century! Banging basslines and hard hitting drums and infectious guitar riffs makes sure to keep u grooving! As don like to say "your neck knows its phat!" There is a stand-out duet,feat Natasha Watts on top of the rare groove classic by Esther Phillips "i hope you'll be unhappy without me", The album closes with a stunning mid-tempo jam ‘live it up"on top of the rare groove classic "lover to lover" by Maxi Don-e is a perfect product of his environment rooted in the heart of Brixton, the busy multicultural London suburb where he has built his own studio and has absorbed the diversity and wealth of musical influences of the street. In recent years he has been focusing primarily on writing and producing for other artists, among them Sean kingston,Jordan Sparks,Cheryl Cole,Kiesha White,Omar and,The British Collective.the list goes on! His other activities have included touring with Grace Jones and also studio and live work with genius producer Brian Eno also presenting vocal master classes on MTV. Following his father’s gift of a home made guitar on his fifth birthday, Don-e became hooked at an early age. Several years - and instruments -later he stepped out of school straight into the UK music scene. He was influenced by his parents’ collection of gospel and classic soul legends Aretha, Marvin, Stevie, Sly, Curtis and Donny Hathaway. He also listened to Parliament, Funkadelic, Earth, Wind & Fire but he soon found there were other influences available in the music of Bob Marley, Dennis Brown and Sugar Minott. All around him were the sounds of Reggae, Dub, Lover’s Rock, Jazz, Funk, Pop and then later Bashment, Jungle and House and Garage. He embraced all this and more, combining melodies, sounds and rhythms to create a style that would be identified as his own.
