Recording

Roni Size recorded Heroes with Reprazent for the New Forms album, with Onallee credited for lead vocals and co-writing. Roni Size produced, wrote, composed, mixed, and played keyboards on the track, with additional production credits on single editions for Die, Krust, and Suv. Released in 1997 on Talkin' Loud, the single followed New Forms during the album's Mercury Prize-winning breakthrough year. It reached number 31 on the UK Official Singles Chart and number one on the UK Official Dance Singles Chart. The track remains part of the New Forms campaign that brought Roni Size and Reprazent to a wider UK audience. Its Origin Unknown, Basement Jaxx, and Kruder versions tied the record to drum and bass, house, and downtempo remix culture.
