Reissue of ultra rare 7" from the cult, Orchestre Rail Band.- ”Moko Diolo" on side A, a beautiful long trippy deep afro jazz with very funky rhythms sections, great garage sounding guitar and fantastic hypnotic voices! - “Tama Diyara Mali Deun La" on B side is a massive funky afro track with killer sax solo. For sure a real crowd shaker with killer breaks.Along with the Bembeya Jazz or Orchestra Baobab, the Rail Band of Bamako is one of the most prolific bands in all of West Africa. This legendary orchestra has launched, among others, the careers of Salif Keita, Mory Kanté and Djélimady Tounkara and has bequeathed in just fifteen years one of the most important work in Malian and West African music.

Very nicely executed reissue of this up to now 'secret weapon' played by Djs such as Theo Parrish, Marcellus Pittmann, Mike Huckaby, Jeremy Underground and MCDE... Check!"We are happy to announce our first reissue 12" on MCDE Recordings, a record from Manchester Deep House label Rainy City Music (written by Irfan Rainy & Rex Leon in 1995), thave we have been working on licensing for over a year now; a record that had been a secret weapon of Djs such as Theo Parrish, Marcellus Pittmann, Mike Huckaby, Jeremy Underground and myself - arguably one of the finest house music 12-inches to ever come out of the UK. To mark the 20th birthday of the release, we have carefully remastered the tracks from the original DAT tapes and only slightly modified the original cover artwork.Its All in the Groove baby! "

Two ultra fat slow house jamz outta Detroit by the man now better known as Ibex (Planet E). His legendary release from 1997 comes around with fresh mastering - special thanks to Mr. Terrence Parker! His stuff from this period is actually better than his Planet E releases smpling Detroit classics like Was Not Was etc. Classic Detroit house, which goes perfectly with Moodymann & Theo Parrish stuff. Super Tip!
