MCDE x J.A.W 2018
The MCDE Recordings x J.A.W event in 2018 β¨This atmosphere feels very far away but glad to be back and sharing some nice discussions & less dance orientated wax together with Danilo aka Motor City Drum Ensemble at L'entrΓ©e des artistes Pigalle next week π
If you missed the announcement, check our latest posts π€
#digginthearchive Still one of our most precious memories with J.A.W over the past fifteen years. The kind of things that strengthen you in what you do and why you do it.
We honestly never thought we would able to welcome such a Giant one day (Shouts to our brother Rabih Beaini here for being part of this journey too ππ½) An obvious and huge influence for our crew. Spending a few days with him & the band was quite a trip too. This scene was taken during soundcheck at Festsaal Kreuzberg. Pharoah & William in deep conversation playing this beautiful tune that is Shukuru. They did not play it live later that night which makes this moment even more special.
No idea what the future will bring us but always thankful about the past and what we already experienced together.

Leroy Burgess Festsaal
Those moments with Leroy Burgess, the full band and special stage appearance from Theo Parrish himself... Theo showing how we were all feeling during that show ππ₯Thanks Luca Bigote for the video πΉ
If I had to choose one particular moment during our Reunion I think I would choose this one. Theo paying tribute & enjoying soo much that moment on stage with one of his absolute idols aka Mr Leroy Burgess while Saving Coco is gettin down on Mainline. When we had this idea of bringing both masters together we obviously hoped for such moments but you never know at the end if this will really happen or not. I'll cherish this for a long time honestly. So much talent & inspiration right here. Merci Leroy. Merci Theo ππ½
