Title:	Mary Jane/Ing/Herbalist/Did You Know?
Label:	SCOTCH BONNET (SCOTLAND)
Format:	10"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	SCOB 008EP

"Blending '80s digital reggae with modern production techniques, and featuring the best of the old skool and nu skool DJs and singjays. Each track is exclusively mixed in Mungo's studio to give it a unique feel and perfect punch -- ideal for getting dibbi dibbi sounds on the run! El Fata hails from the Ivory Coast but is now residing in the UK -- though he is always busy touring and recording with the likes of Mad Professor. He sings the title track, 'Mary Jane,' with a plea to the government to 'leave Mary Jane alone.' Brother Culture is up next, and should be no stranger to the Mungo camp, having collaborated on the 2002 album, Mungo's Hi Fi meets Brother Culture, as well as working with a barrage of top producers and appearing on Mr Scruff's Keep it Solid Steel mix CD. Top Cat and Soom T finish things up in true fine form to make this one hell of a 10"."

Catalog #:	SCOB 010EP

"'Ing' was originally released in 2002 on the Dubhead label and featured as the opening track on 2005's 'Keep it Solid Steel' mix by Mr Scruff. It has been in hot demand ever since, exchanging hands for over Ł30 on eBay and with requests arriving for a repress on a daily basis at the Mungo HQ. So at long last, it's back, remastered with the original dub and additional vocals courtesy of the mighty Topcat and Soom T. Perhaps the best Mungo's Hi-Fi yet, this is something that you don't want to miss out on a second time around."

Title:	Empress/Second Hand Man
Label:	SCOTCH BONNET (SCOTLAND)
Format:	10"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	SCOB 011EP

"Disrupt's cuts 'Empress' and 'Second Hand' are modern classics an have the perfect blend of quality reggae music and Disrupt's unmistakable blip-beep sound. Both tracks have an upbeat offbeat swing with a sound that interweaves around Mikey's vocal with his plethora of sound. The lead synth on the 'Second Hand' dub is also testament to his playing ability and instantly conjures up the same images of cowboys and the Wild West felt in '80s Jamaica along with a heavy dub sound. These are destined to be on heavy rotation not only on soundsystems but also by any purveyor of good quality music. Big tings a gwaan fi Disrupt 2008, there's no doubt about it, stay tuned! Modern day dub master!!"

Title:	Get It Already/She Gone
Label:	SCOTCH BONNET (SCOTLAND)
Format:	10"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	SCOB 012EP

"The other half of Jahtari steps up with a blisteringly authentic digital sound again, pumped out with analog gear. Rootah's production sounds like a cross between Basic Channel and the most delightfully obscure '80s dancehall and this is what forms the crux of his sound-his Detroit techno background coupled with his deep understanding of true dub. Rootah has been DJing since the early '90s and in this time has been perfecting his production with the nicest blend of computah programming and rough overheated analog tubes and delay units. 'Get It Already' and 'She's Gone' have a slightly darker, more melancholy sound like Waterhouse has just turned Firehouse. This makes the two tracks perfectly match in a ying yang sort of way. Rootah's productions have such a detailed, heavy sound they will both destroy a soundsystem and demand a detailed hi-fi listen. The 'She's Gone Dub' provides a whole new drum pattern which gives the track a completely different flavor, completing the pack."

Mungo's Hi-Fi's last set, the continually-popular Sound System Champions of 2008, is finally available on CD again, re-pressed on their own Scotch Bonnet imprint (having previously been licensed to Rocker's Revolt). Scotland's number one reggae dancehall sound system and bona-fide institution, Mungo's Hi-Fi have been releasing hits since 2001 when their killer tracks "Wickedness" and "Ing" featuring Brother Culture first took the world by storm, getting heavy plays by Jah Shaka, the late great John Peel and Mr. Scruff, who went on to include "Ing" on his Solid Steel mix released on Ninja Tunes. At this point in their life, the trio have truly earned the title of Veteran Selectors and are one of the most in-demand sound systems in Europe. Drawing faithfully on foundation reggae, dub and dancehall music from the last 50 years, their genuinely fresh sound spans a broad selection of musical stylings from ska and rocksteady, through roots and steppers, to rub-a-dub, digital roots and dancehall. As with their live sound, powered by their own enormous, homebuilt PA, their inspirational forward-thinking productions continually push reggae boundaries into new groundbreaking frontiers. Sound System Champions features an onslaught of world class reggae MCs and singers, including Top Cat, Tippa Irie, Ranking Joe, Soom T, Kenny Knots, Mikey Murka, Ras Charmer, Aya Faith, Suncycle, MC Ishu and Marina P, and is as huge as Mungo's infamous speaker stacks.
