Known to have worked as part of the collective are electronica artist Dezz, samplist and producer Ian Sanderson aka Cuckooland (with Simon Mills of Bent), Hollywood film composer Stephen Barton, Andy Dragzis (Blue States), Clare Szembek (Captain & The Funky Lowlives), and keyboard player Shannon Harris (Lily Allen, Wheatus). Their music can be characterized as downtempo electronica. Urban Myth Club is on the TRL Music record label.

In 2004 they released a limited edition Secret EP. In 2005, they released their debut single I Feel It on TRL Music as an underground digital release with no promotion. The track broke into the iTunes top 30 chart, and radio airplay followed. The band debuted at the Glastonbury Festival in 2005 and played the main stage at The Big Chill. Other festival appearances include The Glade, Secret Garden Party and a return to Glastonbury in 2007. In 2006, I Feel It was released reaching top 10 in a number of European countries.
