The Urban Cookie Collective are a British techno and house band best known for their hit single "The Key The Secret", which was originally released in 1993.
Rohan Heath (born July 19, 1974) was the driving force behind the group. He played keyboards, co-wrote The Key The Secret with Anniffe Akinola of Chapter&The Verse, Backyard Dog and Ironweed fame (Chapter&The Verse produced A Guy Called Gerald's Voodoo Ray). Heath had formerly worked with Yargo and A Guy Called Gerald. Urban Cookie Collectives original vocalist was Diane Charlemagne, who co-wrote some of their tracks and now works with Moby. The other main members were Simon Bentall (b 17 October 1967) and Peter Samson (bongos) (b May 15, 1968), Johnny Jay and Mark Hadfield of Lucid and Love Freakz fame and Niel Claxton of Mint Royale. Guest rappers took part from time to time to create an eclectic mix in the studio.
Heath had learned classical piano as a child, and decided on a career in music after abandoning a PhD at University of Vermont. After a tour of Japan supporting the Happy Mondays, he left A Guy Called Gerald. He later joined Together a band created by Haçienda regulars Suddi Raval and Jon Donaghy, the latter tragically killed in an accident in Ibiza along with his girlfriend Emma. Together's single Hardcore Uproar made number 12 in the UK singles chart in August 1990. After a brief stint with Eek A Mouse, he created the Urban Cookie Collective, a collective of Manchester's top producers writers and performers.
They achieved a major breakthrough in 1993 with "The Key: The Secret", which peaked at number 2 in the UK, and number 5 in Germany. It was originally a track written at home by Rohan Heath in a soul and hip hop vein. After a subsequent re-mix provoked a massive club response it was picked up by the Pulse 8 record label. The follow-up release was "Feels Like Heaven" which was also very successful, as well as the album High On A Happy Vibe which reached number 28 in the UK. The band remain actively together and still maintain a busy concert schedule.
