'Damian Lazarus' Secret Teachings imprint welcomes a unique project from Malian and French pairing Siraba, unveiling their debut single 'Ngana Folly' alongside remixes from Philou Louzolo and Peaking Lights. Meaning 'The Great Path' in the Bambara language, Siraba - the duo consisting of Malian hunter Boubacar Samake and Damien Vandesande (one half of French electronic band dOP) are on a path of bringing the traditional sound of the Wassoulou to the world. They met in 2003 when Damien visited Mali to work with local artists and met Boubacar's father - the legendary Sibiri Samake. Working together on multiple occasions, the two promised to work with one another and Boubacar on a project one day, and 17 years later, the two connected to begin to develop their unique sound and showcase their shared universe.

Three of the most loved Network remixes are on this wonderful timeless 12.The Dave Lee Joey Negro mix from 1991 is rated by many as one of Network's finest moments, and maybe Lee's finest ever 'remixed with extra production' epics.Rushton remembers meeting Lee to collect the remix, and instantly phoning Saunderson proclaiming 'you won't believe this'.Underground Resistance's Mike Banks added his magic to the 1991 original mixes of 'The Colour Of Love' and the results were so overwhelmingly great that the idea of subsequent remixes was daunting.
