— ABA SHANTI-I — DUB & ROOTS ARENA —
Aba Shanti-i… The king of both Leicester and Notting Hill carnivals playing an exclusive 7 hour set on his own sound system.
… Sound system operator Aba Shanti – I is a yearly highlight of London’s Notting Hill Carnival, where he’s held court since the 1970s with one of the most powerful rigs around. To his many followers, Aba is a heritage selector, synonymous with his legendary dub-plate collection, running his tracks like “Jah Lord” and “Jah Lightning And Thunder” on speakers so bass-heavy they can dislodge kidney stones. Aba was also one of the first touring sounds to acknowledge diversity in his audience, and always emphasises messages of unity and integration whilst toasting on the mic.

— MUNGO’S HI-FI — DUB & BASS ARENA —
Mungo’s Hi Fi champion the evolution reggae, dub and dancehall music and are re-invigorating sound system culture.

The live work feeds directly into the studio productions. Mungo’s crucial releases, mainly on their own Scotch Bonnet label, have topped the reggae bestsellers on numerous occasions. ‘Sound system Champions’ their Double LP released in 2008 has turned many on to their sounds and the massive ‘Forward Ever’ from 2011 gave a preview of what is to come on singles and EPs. The releases have been supported by tours in Japan, Brazil, Mexico, Australia and the USA, as well as countless live shows on their sound system touring throughout the UK and Europe.
