Farewell to Dub n Grub
After 10 years we sadly have to stop Dub n Grub.
We loved every one and we want to thank The 78, kitchen and bar staff as well as the dubngrubbers for making the magic happen.
But before we shed too many tears – Argonaut Sounds will continue to run tings in a roots tradition after we leave, so all is not lost for lovers of tasty reggae and friendly vibes.
Our last one will be on Thursday 19th May, but we will be saying goodbye throughout the month.
Pupajim and Stand High Patrol for the last night in Stereo
You have to make it down for this.
“The music is like a underground exploration…and I am specialized in the tunnel excavation.”
Pupajim is fast emerging as one of Europe’s best new vocalists from any genre and I cannot get my head around how a Frenchman from Brest can deliver such insightful and playful lyrics in English delivered cooler and deadlier than Nitty Gritty on ice.
“Do you want my DNA? Mr President there is no way. I can give you some but only in a spray.”
He is accompanied by the full Stand High Patrol in the shape of Mac Gyver and Rootystep and the sounds these guys are producing are phenomenal. With releases on Jahtari and Scrub a Dub and collaborations with the Nextmen and Tayo they are fast becoming International Farmers. Check their tunes TV Addict, Amplifier and Business of war before you come so you can sing along.
And needless to say – get down early. This is the last night Mungo’s Hi Fi is playing for now in Stereo. We want to say a big thanks to all the staff and massive who have been brilliant.

If you liked Firehouse Sound when they came to the Artschool last October here are the guys that beat them in the all Danish Soundclash and are still the reigning champions.
Rootsman’s trademark is powerful energy, honest love of music and warmhearted approach to whoever is on the other side of the speakers.
Expect intense 60s ska, digital 80s dancehall, righteous 90s roots revive, primitive ragga from around the millennium, deep UK dub, soulful rock-steady, fresh current dancehall, rude 2tone ska, militant 70s steppers and heavy thunderclap roots music.
Lock up your daughters cos the vikings are coming.

O.B.F. Sound System and Diegojah in Stereo
Music loving cats come lap up the cream of Europe’s soundsystem underground for this one away Stereo exclusive:
Mungo’s Hi Fi Sound System meet O.B.F. and Diegojah

Saturday 19th March 2011
£6 advance from scotchbonnet.net

11pm-3am
O.B.F. is probably the best sound system in the massive dub reggae scene in France at the moment. Growing out of the Geneva squat and free party scene they have a slew of the heaviest dubplate productions which they present with unparalleled enthusiasm.
Diegojah is making a big splash at the moment with his rough and tough vocals with an authentic early dancehall growl.
Chucking these guys together with Mungo’s Hi Fi will surely be an explosive mix – we advise getting in on it early and wear protective clothing.

Judging by January, we would recommend buying tickets in advance, and we will get a more efficient door strategy to avoid the queues – we promise!
…

Dixie Peach has the sweet textured voice of a sound system veteran, trained by years on the road with Jah Tubbys. We will be running the dance wicked and wild with plenty of 80s digital and original productions.

Burning it up in Stereo
Mungo’s Hi Fi kick off their new residency at Stereo with the return of dub superdons Disrupt and Soom T, who have chosen the night to launch their stunning new album on the Jahtari label entitled ‘Ode to a carrot’.
NEW VENUE! Stereo, 20-28 Renfield Lane, Glasgow, G2 6PH
Saturday 22nd January 2011
£5 advance from www.scotchbonnet.net£8 on the door
11pm-3am
We are moving the sound system underground to Stereo’s bass cavern where we will reach sub frequency amplitudes never experienced before. To get things rolling we’ll be concentrating matters like a particle accelerator with the help of green energy experts Disrupt and Soom T who are releasing their brand new album collaboration ‘Ode to a Carrot’. Click here for a preview
The duo have been travelling the world spreading Jahtari niceness through Disrupt’s pioneering digital laptop reggae sound and some serious vocal jiggery pokery from Scotland’s number one bigmouth, Soom T. Soom moved to Leipzig in the summer to finish off their works and this will be quite a homecoming, with a special performance with Mungo’s Hi Fi in the afternoon to mark the opening of the new Robbie Burns Birthplace Museum in Alloway.
Come down early to get Soom’s High Grade Carrot Cake and free Bunny Ears, cos stereo will be rammed to the gunnels and ready for a rumpus.

Last night at the Artschool
Rumours that the Woodside would close came years before it finally did, but we needed a bigger venue anyway so our nights in the Artschool started in 2006 with Ranking Joe, and ever since we have enjoyed hosting sound system artists the likes of which Glasgow had never seen, such as Top Cat, Sister Nancy, Earl 16, Warrior Queen, Omar Perry, Tippa Irie, Sister Carol, Brother Culture, Lady Stush, Ruben da Silva, Daddy Freddy, Mikey Murka, Marina P, MC Ishu, Solo Banton and Afrikan Simba. It changed things around here. Now the reggae/dancehall/dub scene is evolving fast and for that we give a big shout out to all the Scottish sound systems, selectors, fans and artists, especially Daddy Scotty and Pupa Zeb, Bass Alliance, Kokoro, Jumble Sale Crew, Northern Exposure, Bass Warrior, Nafees, Argonauts and Soom T. Mungo’s residents have also shared the decks with some of the producers who have inspired them and who they have collaborated with including Disrupt, Jah Shaka, Mala, Dub 4, Phokus, Von D, Dub Boy, King’s Hi Fi, Mr Boogie, DJ Shy and RSD.
2010 has produced unforgettable nights with Kenny Knots, Iration Steppas, Congo Natty, Tenor Fly, My Lord Sound, YT, Mr Williamz, Maffi, Firehouse and Conscious Sounds…so much so that we can’t believe it’s time to move on just when it’s getting really good. However, since the venue will close for 2 years refurb we have been forced to make the move, and we’re really positive about the change. Still on the third Saturdays from January 22th 2011 we will be in Stereo on Renfield Lane, where we’ll continue to run tings and bring the artists we all need to hear.
But for one last time we will be wheeling out the rig, and playing strictly selection – no big names just you, us and bass.
