Us3 is the brainchild of London-based producer Geoff Wilkinson.

Formed in 1992, alongside production partner Mel Simpson, Us3 rose from the ashes of two previous incarnations. The first was a limited edition white label release in 1990 called Where Will We Be In The 21st Century featuring rapper MC Honey B and jazz pianist Jessica Lauren. This brought the attention of a (then) fledgling indie label, Ninja Tune, and the result was NW1's 1991 The Band Played The Boogie. By sampling one of the biggest dance floor tunes of the burgeoning jazz dance scene, Geoff had unknowingly started a chain reaction. The tune he sampled was Grant Green's Sookie Sookie, originally released on Blue Note Records.
