Mungo's Hi Fi

From Scotland

Bone-rattling dub from premier sound system
Jamaican music might be where they're at, but you'll never be in any doubt where Mungo's Hi-Fi are from. Not only are they named after the founder of their home city of Glasgow (St Mungo), they've also been known to wear their prized Scotland footie shirts behind the decks. For Mungo's Hi-Fi are the pre-eminent sound system north of the border, a three-man tag-team whose bass-heavy selections have been rattling punters' bones for more than a decade now. Their origins may have been meek (they started performing after finding some speakers in a skip), but they're since been bathed in international acclaim, winning over the ears of taste-makers like John Peel, Jah Shaka and Mr Scruff. And as the chaps stir their broth of dub, dancehall, digital roots and dubstep, they're joined by a couple of top-grade MCs - rootsy Londoner Kenny Knots and sugar-sweet Soom T.
