OK, experts, can you solve this tiny p puzzle 4 me?

I saw this biog for producers Lee Cabrera, who've had chart hits here in the UK with some very good house tracks. Notice the highlighted bit?


"It has been non-stop for the New York-based creative geniusesí dj/producer Steven Lee and the legendary Albert Cabrera. Together now 3 years they continue to dazzle us with theyíre diverse creativity while never subjecting themselves to one style. ìBetween the both of us, thereís just too much music and not enough timeî says Lee, ìWith Alby bringiní the old-school and myself with some new flavor, the two just make magicî. From Latin house to deep and funky to progressive and electro these two bring you a wide-range in both their creations and performances. Collectively, Lee Cabrera has worked with many of music industry's most reputable artists and producers such as Madonna, Crystal Waters, Prince, Layo & Bushwacka, Planet Funk, The Scumfrog and Junior Jack. Their music can be found on prominent record labels including Credence (UK) C2 (UK), Positiva (UK) Ministry of Sound, Defected (UK) Illustrious (UK), V2 and Sony.

Lee Cabrera is currently working on projects certain to keep them at the forefront of dance music today. Recently for the Winter Music Conference the duo created a massive 2004 cover of Def Leppard ìPhotographî that sparked so much attention with DJís, Radio Stations, and punters its now pending an official release. With 3 new singles in the can (Voodoo Love- June 21 release) remixes on the plate and a full schedule of DJ bookings worldwide from their newly signed Primary Talent DJ agency the Lee Cabrera duo move forward with unmatchable force. Regular dates already include Pacha (Portugal, London, South America, and Ibiza) Ministry Of Sound-London, Turnmills-London, The Cross-London, Studio Coast-Tokyo, Zepllen-Moscow, Puzzle-Valencia, Tank-Sydney and many more"



Now, can anyone tell me what their link to Prince is? I've tried google and the only thing it brought me to of any substance was this biography again. Could it be that they've done a remix for something off "Musicology"?

Of course, it could just be that either Steven Lee or Albert Cabrera have done a little bit of engineering for him in the past.

Does anyone know anything?

It seems to be specifically Cabrera who is laying claim to having worked with Prince, having done a bit of searching. I can't find anything in his earlier biogs which support this.

(The fact that he might see his work as engineering might account for his name not necessarily appearing. People's contributions are not always credited.)
