[Review] Mungo’s Hi Fi feat. YT – “No Wata Down Ting”

This is it! After so many great collaborations, YT and Mungo’s Hi-Fi released a LP. Ten tracks full of rub-a-dub and reggae vibe sound just excellent. It can’t be otherwise when Prince Fatty is invited to cooperation – warm but powerful basslines (“Raggamuffin girl”!) and an analogue flavour are guaranteed. Besides YT we hear also two legends – Johnny Osbourne and Little John – and the tracks with these two are my favourites. Especially “No Wata Down Ting” sounds great, combining an old-school style with a modern beat. Back to YT – he proves with this LP, that he is a complete artist. Vocally he is moving smoothly between fast chatting and singing, also lyrically he is not afraid to touch many topics. Musically he fits in with reggae vibe (brilliant “Work to do”), not to mention rub-a-dub/dancehall and even jazz-like ska (“Bumpercart”). An excellent album for pleasurable listening.

Soundboy say a little prayer! // Dub-Stuy feat. Johnny Osbourne

The next release from Dub-Stuy Records is a long-time dubplate of this crew with iconic Johnny Osbourne vocal sample. With massive horns and a solid, heavy bassline we get a pure soundsystem killa, here shipped with a dub version for more havoc. On the B side there are also 2 remixes – Jacky Murda will suit the test of all junglist with his energetic version with a buzzing vibe. Then Radikal Guru blends a reggae pulse with a nice, string melody in the background and resonating bass mixed with fast hi-hats.

The release date of this 12” is April 1st, 2016.

From roots to digital bass vibes – Mungo’s Hi-Fi

These 4 records, released at the end of 2015, come in a different flavour. Two of them came out in Scotch Bonnet label and they proof Mungo’s love to classic rub-a-dub. They recorded Johnny’s Osbourne hit “Ice Cream Love” with Johnny himself but also with Prince Fatty’s live band. This name is for me synonymous with beautiful sound and so it is with this one – the riddim sounds warm and rootical with a little bit of modern flavour. On the second version Johnny’s voice is paired with excellent vocal of YT.

Two next 12” releases came out in Scrub A Dub label and brings digital deep vibes. Here Mungo’s invited dubstep master from Croatia – Egoless and Vital Techniques & Mickey B, who remixed Squarewave’s “Police officer” and Mungo’s Hi-Fi and YT – “Boomsound”. These killer bangers will satisfy all lovers of modern bass music!
