Hi,
it's from their newsletter back in June:
"The Allenko Brotherhood Ensemble
The first release of our new project, The Allenko Brotherhood Ensemble,
which features IG Culture's Son Of Scientist mix 'The Drum' and Joakim Lone
'Machine Sun Construction' will be in the shops on June 26.
The reactions we already get from worldwide DJ's are really good and the
project receive support of Mad Mats (Fusion), Marc Frank (Les
Gammas/Compost), Alex Attias (Visions Rec.), DJ Gilb'r (Versatile/Future
Talk), Jan Hagenkoetter (Infracom), Kirk DeGeorgio (As One/Kiss FM),
Especial Records Crew (Japan), Keyser & Shuriken (Tilos Radio),...
The next release of the serial (Comet 013) feature 'Drumfire', a killer
dancefloor-oriented mix by BiggaBush (from Rockers Hi-Fi) and 'The Man With
The Drums' wicked nu-soul track by Kraked Unit (a french collective
featuring Loik Dury, Christophe 'Disco' Minck and Dama). Stay tuned..."
Peace,
keyser
