MJ Cole - Day Party

The 1990s were a pivotal era for UK music, with genres like garage, jungle, and UK funky erupting into the mainstream, and at the forefront was MJ Cole, a trailblazer of the 2-step garage sound. His hit “Sincere” marked a breakthrough moment for UK garage in the charts, and his influence has rippled through grime, dubstep, and beyond. Classically trained and raised in a musical household in West London, Cole has always merged technical skill with street-level innovation. Over a two-decade career, he's produced for artists like Dizzee Rascal, Stormzy, and Mary J. Blige, while continuing to evolve his sound with projects like “The Rumble” with AJ Tracey. He remains rooted in London’s multicultural vibrancy and committed to the underground, fostering new talent through his label 892 Recordings and studio space, The Gin Factory. Despite his legacy, Cole is constantly chasing what’s next, driven by a passion for authenticity and the ever-changing soundscape of modern music.
