FACT SHEET

● For fans of: Portishead, Little Dragon, Bim Sherman.

● Denise’s home always doubled up as On-U’s studio/ HQ. “I would fall asleep to bass, dub, singing – that was just normal! There were so many people hanging around, and some were pretty odd characters I didn’t necessarily feel safe with. Others were like family, like [drummer] Style Scott and [guitarist] Skip McDonald. I was really close with [Jamaican roots star] Junior Delgado – I toured with him, he really encouraged me.”

● Denise co-wrote two tracks with another On-U legend, The Pop Group’s Mark Stewart. “Mark also loves poets, so I would lead with the melody, and he just brought in loads of old poetry that’s out of copyright – he’s a master at finding that stuff. I’d be like, I’ll have this bit, that bit. That’s how we wrote Ghost Heart and Amnesia Moon.”
