One single by Peter Gaithuma’s Naromuru Success, who also recorded for Sun Eclipse, and intriguing ones by New Kamaru & DK Band, which appeared on Ebay in October 2008, and Mandaraka Boys, another Ebay discovery in May 2010; otherwise this was one of the main outlets in the 1970s for records by the influential Kikuyu bandleader and entrepreneur Joseph Kamaru and his City Sounds Band.

He also owned and recorded for City Sounds, KMS and Kamaru and no doubt other labels too.
