Giddimani Records (510) 306 1855*

Perfect Giddimani is the stage name for Greg Rose of St. Ann, Jamaica. Inspired by Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Toots Hibbert tunes on his father’s jukeboxes, “Mr. Perfect” was performing by age 9 and gaining a regional reputation as a teenager. He provided regular entertainment as Little Ninja at St. Ann’s York Castle High School, where distinguished alumni include reggae founder Jackie Mittoo of the Skatalites.
After high school, Rose headed straight to Kingston, Jamaica, and began honing the art of performing and recording at top studios and clubs. Soon, the enterprising Rose took control of his own musical fate. “My brother and I opened the first official digital recording studio (Askum) in Bamboo, St. Ann, back in 1998. We did this through the help of my dad, who was responsible for locating and buying the latest studio gear in New York at that time.”

Rose and his brother Kirk taught themselves by reading equipment manuals for days and it wasn’t long before they were producing their own music and that of other local talent. “I was responsible for making the rhythms via drum machines and keyboards, and my brother was the vocal engineer,” Rose said. Together, they formed the label Chalice Palace Muzic. Rose, calling himself Perfect Giddimani, a mixture of the words “Armageddon” and “morning,” made his first few self-produced recordings, which he shopped all the way to Europe himself, and DHF Records in Austria gave him his first deal.

Even though Giddimani’s success after ten albums, 700-plus singles and a Grammy nomination for 2012’s “Journey of 100 Miles” has given him an “intercontinental life,” he stays in touch with his St. Ann roots. This shines through in his lyrics.  He has scored No. 1 tunes in Jamaica, Germany, Sweden and France and has collaborated with Lauryn Hill, Anthony B, Sizzla Kalonji, Lutan Fyah and Jahdan Blakkamoore, yet Chalice Palace Muzic still handles his publishing.

His company also founded Giddimani Records, a label that actively records upcoming Jamaican artists on compilations featuring a Giddimani tune or two to help them gain exposure. New titles include “Horn Of Africa Riddim,” “Burnhard Spliffington Riddim” and “Bay Area Riddim.” As the music scene changes, Rose stays true to his message. “As a true Rastafarian, I know that it’s right over wrong, good over evil, so my music will remain positive as long as I live.”

Firstly, If you want/need a custom-made riddim or require some drums/guitar/keys/organ played for a track then feel free to send me a request detailing what you want via my inbox on Soundcloud, or send me an email to country.hifi@yahoo.co.uk and we can discuss it further.

Secondly, and most importantly, welcome to the Country Hi-fi sound with music to please a myriad of tastes. On an island on the very edge of Europe, Northern Ireland, an ocean away from the birthplace of reggae and not necessarily the first port of call when looking for good reggae music made inna roots and culture style. However, by making quality music inspired by a love of the music from Jamaica and the ethos behind it's creation, Country Hi-fi is doing it's best to put Northern Ireland firmly on the reggae map.

The name 'Country Hi-fi' is related to the country upbringing of founding member 'Pugs' while also being a tribute to the late great King Tubby and his pioneering sound which echoes far and wide. The Country Hi-fi sound was brought to life in a project called 'Small Town Roots' (available on iTunes) which involved two friends: hip-hop producer/DJ/MC DAZ (www.soundcloud.com/dazmusic) and Pugs (reggae fan and self-taught musician) practically living in a studio for a week with each side bringing their own ingredients to the mix. The result was a series of songs inspired by the roots reggae traditions while telling stories through the songs, which relate to various events in Pugs' life growing up in a small country town.

The Country Hi-fi sound is dedicated to making music with the original enthusiasm and willingness to experiment as our pioneering brothers and sisters in Jamaica so although you can expect to hear lots of one-drop reggae, ska, rocksteady, lovers rock etc. don't be surprised to hear some digital dancehall, house, hip-hop, or even some UK hip-hop/grime style beats, and various remixes, mash ups, and versions: feel free to download and share any tracks you like and spread the word. 

With Pugs working as a one-man-band, engineer, producer, and occasional songwriter, he has managed to work on projects with artists from all over the globe and is always open and happy to collaborate with other artists on whatever the project may be, so don't be afraid to use the drop box, respond to requests on tracks, or send a message about any enquiries you may have.

Pugs also presents a weekly reggae show on Skank FM (an online radio station in Belfast, Northern Ireland, www.skankfm.com) from 6-8pm (GMT) bringing the best in caribbean vibes with tracks from way back in the day to the hottest tracks in the Jamaican chart and everything else in between from hip-hop, DnB, soul, grime, and reggae from  all around the world. Get on board and tune in for an education in reggae music and all it has to offer.

Thank you for stopping by the Country Hi-fi profile and hopefully you enjoyed exploring all the tracks on offer and found something you liked enough to download (which means you wanted to hear it again which is cool). Comments are always gratefully received, and all those people who have got on board so far they are always appreciated and their support is crucial for the Country Hi-fi sound to gather momentum. Any newcomers are equally welcome and big up yourself for getting on board and helping the Country Hi-fi sound to spread the message of One Love and Unity which is increasingly important in this modern world.

Finally, I would like to give thanks and much respect to the people I have been fortunate enough to work with (Naptali, Tijani Concious, Madi Simmons, Junior Pinchers, delaypilot, Wadadli, fireface horns). Perhaps most notably, I have also received some crucial advice from a bredren who is known as Jamyork. He has been most forthcoming with his words of wisdom and I have had relatively few experiences in my short foray into the music scene with somebody being so willing to share their experiences and knowledge to such a degree: his advice and tips have really helped me progress my sound, so I am eternally grateful for his help; I hope I am able to do the same should anyone seek some guidance/advice from me!
