Saturday 16th April 2011
£6 advance from www.scotchbonnet.net

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
Stereo, 20-28 Renfield Lane, Glasgow, G2 6PH
Saturday 19th March 2011
£6 advance from scotchbonnet.net
£8 on the door
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!
…
Afrikan Simba is a respected rasta statesman, broadcaster, singer and MC who takes his musical mission well dread. 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.

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.

Conscious Sounds & Charlie P with special guest
Dougie Wardrop started out selling records from a stall in Camden in the 80s. With a 4-track off Nick Manasseh he started producing and set up his Conscious Sounds record label, going on to become a godfather to the European reggae scene. His productions of late have been the best yet while his early classics never tire. Unfortuneately King General can’t be on the mic as planned, but we are very excited to welcome Charlie P for his Scottish debut. The prodigious 16 year old is causing a ruckus with his clean style and contemporary story. The Mungo’s crew will be providing reggaematical support, in a forward thinking style.
