Bio

Scotland’s Mungo's Hi Fi came into being in 2000, with a desire to hear decent music in their own city of Glasgow and the serendipitous occasion of finding some speakers in a skip. Since then Mungo's Hi Fi have become one of the most progressive forces in international reggae and dubstep, unleashing a myriad of highly sought-after releases on their Scotch Bonnet & Scrub a Dub labels, while playing over 1000 sell-out gigs throughout the UK and Europe in the last 8 years alone - fast becoming the most in-demand sound system in Europe.

Drawing from a rich heritage of Jamaican soundsystem culture, Mungo's produce a bass-heavy sound with a distinctively quirky fresh twist that has garnered them a cult following across the world and earned them high praise from the likes of BBC DJ Mary-Anne Hobbes, UK soundsystem legend Jah Shaka, the late great John Peel and Mr Scruff - who went on to include their killer track Ing on his Solid Steel mix released on Ninja Tunes.

The lads have collaborated with some of the biggest names in both old-school and new-school reggae, including: Sugar Minott, Sister Nancy, Ranking Joe, Kenny Knots, Earl 16, Top Cat, Tippa Irie, Brother Culture and Warrior Queen, as well as Scotland’s own indomitable Soom T.
