In 1993 Dee appeared on the Guru single No Time To Play, lifted from his Jazzamatazz LP. Dee's vocals were also to be found on the single Jesse by Acid Jazz rock act Mother Earth and on the first two solo albums by Weller. A solo single titled New Reality Vibe was issued in 1994 on the Mo'Wax label.
