Mungo's Hi Fi was begun by Glaswegians Doug Paine (Dougie No Pain) & Tom Tattersall (Tommy Danger) in the waning years of the last Century. Both were deejays. Upon discovering the Blood & Fire reissue albums, they turned their attention to Dub & original Roots music. At that time they deejayed as the Dub Dentist, an alliterative nod to Keith Hudson. When they started Mungo's Hi Fi, the only other Sound System around Glasgow was Rampant Sound. Doug & Tom hooked up with them as they had already an extensive Sound System. The duo helped pass out flyers & promote events for Rampant. Through this teamwork, Doug & Tom learned the basics of running a Sound System. By 2000 they had enough equipment to set up their own small Sound. Their first speaker were being thrown away by the University of Glasgow theater department. After some new drivers & some tender loving care, they became the core of Mungo’s Hi Fi. Those lasted for years.

Craig McLeod (Craigy Wonder) joined the crew around 2000. New blood helped keep things fresh, but just as Irration Steppas & the whole new flood of UK Dub creators, there was the need to start with the original Roots reggae heritage, rocksteady, dancehall or whatever, then switch heavily into digital steppers for a bit, jumping from one thing to another so nothing got too stale.
Mungo’s started sharing their Sound System with many other selectors & deejays so that helped expand their pallette as well.

Antidote

I'll start with the Antidote. I have been following this month's offerings, looking for an "in" and here it is. I am pretty much a complete neophyte when it comes to Dub and Sound Systems, etc. But I have been through the pandemic like everyone else so here's hoping this helps cure my ignorance! Many thanks.

Dub & Sound System cover a wide variety of sounds under their broad umbrellas. You just have to kinda pick & choose, when you find s particular sound you like, then look for more of that artist or other artists with similar sounds. Much of the fun of Dub is the variety, universal enough for all to enjoy some of it. Thanks, brother.
DeleteScottish kilt-wearing dubbers are just what the world needs now.
ReplyDeleteA real blend of cultures.
Guess they smoke their weed through those pipes they play in Scotland in narguile fashion.
Curiosity is killing me so I can't resist picking this up.
Thank you dear Man.

They must be smoking somethin'. Look at the haze around their sound system. Takes all kinds of humankind to Dub the world. You're Dubbin' on a glacier at the tip of the world. Love ya, brother.
DeleteYou just enlightened me. They wear the kilts to absorb the smoke via their testicles too. For a better profit of what Mother Nature brings us.
ReplyDeleteYour observation skills only get better with age, dear Nathan.
My observation skills, huh. Are you implying I peaked under the sporran?
DeleteThanks for the Mungo's HiFi. I've wondered about their name for years, and now I know!
ReplyDeleteAs Diego so succinctly stated "Scottish kilt-wearing dubbers are just what the world needs now." Hope you enjoy their offerings.
