Dennis "Dego" McFarlane, along with 4hero partner Marc "Marc Mac" Clair, pioneered breakbeat hardcore, jungle/drum'n'bass, and broken beat. McFarlane also released solo and collaborative material under a multitude of pseudonyms. Some of McFarlane's most significant output not credited to 4hero was released either as or with Tom & Jerry, Jacob's Optical Stairway, da One Away, and DKD. In 2011, McFarlane issued his first Dego solo album, A Wha' Him Deh Pon?, with guest vocals from Georgia Anne Muldrow, Nia Andrews, and Sharlene Hector. He followed it four years later with The More Things Stay the Same, this time with Hector as the lone vocalist. The two albums fused broken beat, jazz fusion, modern R&B, house, and techno. ~ Andy Kellman
