Two and a half decades of bringing their frankly inhumanly powerful soundsystem from Scotland to the world, now bringing it to Phonox to present the panopticon of Jamaican music.
Producing all types of bass-heavy music, from reggae, to lover's rock, dub, dubstep, jungle, drum'n'bass, all colours of the spectrum, the highly versatile Scottish producers have played in almost every city and major town on this island, bringing their vibes to everyone who wants and needs them.
Now, in the heart of the familiar Brixton, Mungo's Hi Fi come with a highly anticipated all-night set, with enough hours to show the full range of their talents.
They are masters of pacing. Beginning with fluid mixes of dub, reggae, lover's rock, and other bass-heavy yet chill ska-influenced genres, they naturally mix into 140, upping the frequency of the drums and the wobbles of the bass with the crowd hardly noticing. Riding the 140 wave, they slowly up it, taking it to jungle then dnb, rising so steadily that you're lost in a musical journey.
It's an exercise in instinctual mixing, artfully detecting the energies of the crowd, and rising with consumate skill. Mungo's, alongside Mr Scruff and Osunlade, are one of a select few DJ's whose sets are more of a journey than a performance.
And with acclaimed, legendary MC Tippa Irie taking over vocal duties, expect his grand versatility to embolden each genre shift that Mungo's are ecstatic to make.
