Mungo's Hi Fi X Aziza Jaye

That Thing

Sheffield based singer and lyricist Aziza Jaye and Glasgow producers Mungo's Hi Fi boldly yet respectfully reimagine Lauryn Hill's classic That Thing in a reggae style.

Showcasing the same versatility, moving between reggae, soul and hip hop that Hill has exemplified in her career, the new version includes adapted verses drawn from Aziza Jaye's own life experiences.

Mungo's have seamlessly transposed the song to a piano led one drop reggae rhythm, packed with all the organic warmth and modern punch that the original brought back in 1997. The music is given free rein on the shimmering propulsive dub mix, That Dub.

That Thing and That Dub are out now on 7-inch single. A 3 track EP from Aziza Jaye is in the works.

Mungo's Hi Fi

Soundsystem Champions 2

Glasgow reggae collective Mungo’s HiFi celebrate 25 years of pulsating music with a follow-up to game-changing second studio album Soundsystem Champions. Released in 2008, the original Sound System Champions became an instant 21st century classic - thanks to its industrial strength basslines, blazing horns and lineup of scorching microphone talent. To commemorate a quarter century of rocking dances and building rhythms, Mungo’s have created Soundsystem Champions 2. They’ve lovingly assembled some of their biggest dubplates, previously only heard in a soundsystem situation, now available to the world. Fans of the first Sound System Champions will hear musical echoes in the new version. Irrepressible Junglist General Levy rides the Belly Ska riddim that kicked off the 2008 edition, with the militant Gideon Boot. Italy’s Marina P returns to the new record on the expansive Searching, as does Kenny Knots, closing the track list with heartfelt roots anthem Rise and Gravitate. For Soundsystem Champions 2, Mungo’s have invited many more voices from their epic journey. Bristol’s Eva Lazarus revisits Althea and Donna’s immortal Uptown Top Ranking. Reading’s Solo Banton turns his lyrical versatility to hip hop banger Bubble N Wine. The beautiful grainy tones of Ireland’s Cian Finn reimagine the Wailers’ Rainbow Country. With this historic sequel album, Mungo’s look back while going forward, the exclusive becomes the inclusive, and the Sound System comes to you!

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Scotland's No. 1 sounds return with their umpteenth album to date (it's their 13th I think - Ed!). Consistently innovative and pushing the envelope of soundsystem music, they also champion positive and uplifting messages throughout their catalogue. Nice up the session with the latest LP from these UK legends of bass.
