Back In the Dayz

Known for their unique approach to reggae, Glasgow’s Mungo’s Hi Fi have always been influenced by wider soundsystem and dance music culture. They’ve distilled this passion into new single Back In The Dayz, a homage to 90s rave, jungle and breakbeat, featuring Bristolian emcee Gardna and sultry London singer Catching Cairo.
Over a jungle-esque break and a bassline sounding like a vibrating warehouse roof, Gardna and Catching Cairo share evocative memories of raves and dances they’ve enjoyed. The sounds, friendships, fashions and refreshments that connect the communal party experience flash by in a heady cocktail hit of nostalgia and optimism. The lyrics were co-written by London reggae singer, and Mungo’s collaborator, Kiko Bun.  
Like all Mungo’s productions, Back In The Dayz is simultaneously looking back and facing forward. It’s a love letter to the rich traditions of UK rave culture, but also a glimpse towards the time when we can all be free to party again.

Charlie P is best known for his reggae and dancehall releases, so this grimey countdown of his rules of the dance comes as a surprise. The vocal is superbly matched with productions that span the worlds of soundsystem including two of the most exciting producers around. Mungo’s Hi Fi start their side with a digital riddim that creeps into more progressive sounds. Kahn’s production is darker with almost eastern atmospherics and is heavyweight as you would imagine.

The good ship ‘Serious Time’ sails on and we have swelled the crew with some freebooters and mercenaries who now give their own take on some of the tracks from the original album. Despite inclement weather and marauding sea monsters we have smuggled the digital files to all major release platforms where they are now available to you.
