I KNOW BY WAYNE MARSHALL

Ooklah The Moc was formed in 1997 playing a mix of roots reggae and hardcore. Through the years and several lineup changes, Ooklah became a strictly roots dub reggae band and reached its present 8-person lineup in 2000

Valentine's Day is coming, and being romantics at heart Mungo's Hi Fi have compiled some of their favourite tunes for lovers in a 45min mix to get you in the mood.

Mungo's Hi Fi - Valentine's 80's dancehall mix

"Mungo's Hi Fi ft Charlie P - You see me star"

Release date 15th April 2015
12" vinyl LP SCOBLP005 / CD digipack SCOBCD005 / Digital formats

Charlie P is a raggamuffin rudeboy youth with a natural talent for music. He first appeared on stage at the age of 5 and there are some grainy youtube videos of him performing as a child. He started out singing motown and blues but reggae was in his blood since he grew up surrounded by UK-Jamaican culture. He started singing with the Goldmaster Allstars at the age of 11, but was soon drawn to soundsystems which is where he feels most at home. His uncle had been running a sound in Southend on Sea and it was his mother who encouraged him in his career. 
Charlie first came to Glasgow in 2010 for one of Mungo’s Hi Fi’s legendary nights at the Artschool. This was the beginning of their working relationship which has seen countless recording sessions and continuous touring around every corner of the globe. This album is the culmination of this ongoing relationship and brings together the best tracks across the styles that he loves, from roots reggae and dancehall to modern bass music. 
Some are surprised to see a young white guy with a Jamaican accent, but it is his musical language and Charlie is not pretending to be anything but himself - a man with a passion for good ganja and reggae dancehall.

“One year ago, Stick Figure—the SoCal-based band—dropped "Smokin' Love." It's garnered millions of plays since so today, they drop a necessary remix to the track featuring an all-star line-up of Collie Buddz, J BOOG, Iration, and Funk Volume's Dizzy Wright. It's three-and-a-half minutes of laidback vibes and verses, that will soundtrack your summer all over again.” — Complex
