Mungo's HiFi

A daytime sound system session by Mungo's Hi Fi, the Glasgow sound system, staged in the historic arches of Village Underground in London. The night centres on the group's sound system culture.

Mungo's Hi Fi are a sound system from Glasgow, presented here as champions of the sound system movement and a leading force in it internationally. Their set is built on dubplate selections, specially cut recordings made for sound system play, and on bass strong enough to be felt physically. The emphasis is on a heavy, uplifting sound.

This London date takes place as a daytime session under the arches of Village Underground, a venue that hosts concerts and shows in London. The event is framed as a journey through sound system culture, so it suits listeners interested in dub, reggae and the sound system tradition, and those curious to hear how a Glasgow collective approaches the form in a London venue.
