10 years of Control Tower Records

avatars-000001273629-9phbde-t500x500Control Tower Records label and shop has reached 10 years of being a part of a sound system business. Probably many of you dubheads have some of their records in your box. Due to 10th Anniversary, at the end of 2015 they let out another 7″ entitled “Love we want” voiced by one & only King General outta Bush Chemists crew. Riddim was made by Val (Dawa Hi Fi) and it’s digital style perfectly works with King General as usual. It is also worthy to check out three other 7″ promoted by Control Tower, released by Original Formula (Echo Roots & E.K.S.S. / Sweden). First one is “Rootikal” – ruff digital tune with mad E.C.U. on the vocal. Second one is calm and deep oriental stepper tune produced by London based Dairy Dub. Third one is another E.K.S.S. production which is a heavyweight steppa dub tune to make you jump and skank!

We wish Control Tower Family many successes during upcoming years of their great works! Forward!

MUNGO’S HI FI (Glasgow, UK)

Mungo’s Hi Fi first set sail at the turn of the millennium – a time when soundsystem culture was at low tide in the Clyde estuary. They had to dig deep into reggae dancehall heritage to distill its essence, avoiding mimicry like the plague and always keeping it real. The example of soundsystem pioneers showed the way – using the latest technology to build on the past, conscious of the current climate.

The digital age has brought on a storm of musical offerings making it hard for music lovers to navigate a safe course. Mungo’s Hi Fi shine a light in the darkness.

As the good ship Mungo grew, so did the crew. Seven now make up the permanent company, each with their own responsibilities for producing and releasing the music, running the label, shop, playing live shows and putting on promotions. Together with a hard working crew of MCs, box lifters and visual artists they work as a team, relying on all their strengths and not just strong personalities that can cause a sound to run aground. They have been on adventures all over the globe, sometimes travelling alone, sometimes with the whole crew.

At sea you learn self reliance, how to keep a positive attitude and how to have fun. They maintain a suspicion of cultural pirates and their abuse of power, which is why they choose to retain control over how they make and present their music, favouring passion over presentation.

When counter currents start to challenge the mainstream they will always meet opposition. As the tide begins to swell they are ready to batten down the hatches and provide a beating heart for those who battle injustice with the power of love and the human spirit. In order to stop complaining and start competing they have had to face their own fears and private opposition, get organised and fight back. In this serious time war is not the answer as only love can conquer.

ROOTS MELODY ( Pabianice)

Roots Melody SOUND SYSTEM (Ras Qki, Mic Liper, JR), to kolektyw, który przekazuje pozytywne, kojące, niskie wibracje i korzenne wiadomości za pomocą muzyki płynącej ze ścianki głośników. Roots Melody to nie tylko głośniki, operatorzy nagłośnienia, selekcji i mikrofonu, ale również cała rzesza cennych współpracowników, bez których nie obyłaby się żadna sesja. Kolektyw ten powstał w 2011 roku, w Pabianicach by szerzyć rootsową wibrację, której podstawą jest równość i brak jakichkolwiek uprzedzeń. W rok później, bo 2012 owocem ciężkiej pracy stanęła ścianka głośników. Roots Melody, to korzenna roots reggae, dub, UK dub selekcja i forma grania zainspirowana soundsystemowymi mistrzami z Wielkiej Brytanii i Jamajki. Silne brzmienie basu i perkusji, to również wiadomość w rub-a-dubowym stylu na mikrofonie. A przede wszystkim, to ludzie którzy wspierają tę misję, poruszając swoimi ciałami w rytm muzyki.
