Sandokan Hifi, hailing from Zagreb, Croatia, was founded 2006 in Hannover, Germany, where it operated until 2009, running regular Roots & Culture programs such as “Radical Roots” and “Liberation Skank” in the local squat and autonomous cultural scene. 

From late 2009, Sandokan Hifi started operating from Berlin, building a sound system and establishing the first “Dub Disorder” sessions. In 2015, Sandokan Hifi moved to Zagreb, Croatia, and was soon after continuing with “Dub Disorder” sessions inside the premises of AKC Medika, the biggest autonomous cultural centre in the country. Many very successful sessions were done, mostly with international guests on their own sound systems and with Sandokan Hifi as the resident sound. In 2019 alone, the sound was playing more than 10 times in various Croatian cities as well as being the resident sound for the daytime stage at Escape The City Festival in Istria. 

With the beginning of the Covid pandemia and followed by locksdowns and the shut down of the entire cultural sector, also Sandokan Hifi had to stop playing. The earthquake of 5,5 that shook the capital city Zagreb in March 2020 destroyed the Sandokan headquarters entirely and damaged a good part of the control section and record collection. Thanks to many people in solidarity donating and helping, everything could be rebuilt with time and in September 2020 the sound was up and running for the last time until now in the court yard of AKC Medika. After that, new restrictions and new lockdowns prevented further operations. 

Since then, you can find Sandokan Hifi's selections on the world wide web in forms of mixtapes and live streams. Just search the sound's name throughout the www's known sites and platforms!

Sandokan Hifi is a Roots sound system with progressive political approach. A sound that plays strictly vinyl from it's own record collection, mostly 70s Roots Reality, 80s Rub-A-Dub and some 90's UK tunes – everything in anti-fascist and  intersectional fashion and in the form of a “local radio station gone sound system” - with live dubbings straight from the sound's control tower!

Nothing like some good fresh reggae riddims with a little dub touch. As you know, at Fat Bird Recordings we have a wide range of rhythms in the spectrum of the 80s vibes that we love and are so passionate about. George Palmer has been producing new riddims and here's our first pack of riddims.

This pack is specially designed for all singers, deejays and entertainers who want to link up with the rub a dub sound and bring the authentic vibes and orginal riddims to their selection. These rhythms are free of rights and once downloaded they are available to be used without commercial purposes.

The pack begins with a rhythm played by George Palmer on the Casio-Tone Mt-41. It recalls rhythms similar to Gunshot - Anthony Johnson and that kind of vibes.

Then the pack brings more rhythms composed and interpreted by Palmer at George's Box Studio, his little studio in the Basque Country, with his analog and digital machines, simulating the sound of Jammys, Boby Digital etc.

Also a true classic like the Far East Riddim was re created by George Palmer, using Drum machines and synthesizers similar to those used by players of instruments of that era, such as Firehouse Crew...  more
