Mungo's Hi Fi
Coop ✌️
Bigwax.io is not an online record store like the others!
For many years, we have been supporting independent artists and labels in the development of their online store on the short circuit model, for better remuneration for their work.
With a team of enthusiasts, all professionals in the recorded music sector, we operate at all levels: Consulting, Manufacturing, Distribution (WW), Logistics and Online Sales.
Synergy and common goal
Every day we put our experience as a distributor and e-merchant at the service of artists with the common objective of regularly offering exclusive and personalized editions (signed vinyls, numbered editions, merchandising, exclusive packs) for fans.
Coop: an ecosystem for independent creators
It is in a spirit of cooperation that independent artists and labels join Bigwax.io.
To highlight this proximity, our wish is to highlight all the independent artists and labels in cooperation with Bigwax.io with a "Coop" tag.
If this tag also appears on an article, it means that we are the only intermediary between them and you. By adding Coop products to your cart, you help pay them fairer compensation and help them continue to develop their artistic projects over time.
Thanks to you
Puffers Choice Vol. 1
The LP kicks off with Prince Fatty, the production master, with a live band version of The model, softening some of the jaggy edges of Kraftwerk’s digital original.
The next track comes out of Mungo’s Hi Fi being approached by the Hempolics for a remix. They not only gave it the irresistible pullup bassline treatment, they also recorded a fresh vocal from Classic Wonder’s lyrics machine Solo Banton.
Danny T & Tradesman are long time Scotch Bonnet collaborators and crucial producers. This digital cut of Bert Kaemfert’s Afrikaan beat riddim features rough and tough vocalist Dark Angel aka Mowty Mahlyka, which means 'Dark Angel' in the Wolof language in Gambia.
We first heard the next track by Viktor “Viktorious” Lindström around 10 years ago and it is arguably our favourite Swedish Reggae track. He is a talented musician who plays in various bands and still produces obscure dub. This track is also the first recording of Parly B we ever heard. Little did we know that we would go on to do so much work with Parly, but clearly his talent shone through.
Jahtari’s main man Disrupt is nothing short of a musical genius who’s production finesse is only equalled by his dedication to remaining at the cutting edge of circuit bending 8-bit mastery. Zeb and Scotty are some of Scotland’s original reggae scene and for years held it down as the country’s foremost MC duos. This track is a distillation of Glasgow meets Leipzig cool.
Subactive have lent their production mastery to this simple but catchy riddim, originally made by fellow Frenchies Led Piperz. Solo Banton’s vocal was originally layed down in Kunta’s infamous back room to his Livity Records shop in Lyon. We got hooked on it and it has seldom left our record boxes.
Following the massive success of the original Raggamuffin man mix of this track we have an unusual reversal of drum n bass, to dub to full horns version. Mungo’s Hi Fi recorded the Sugar Minott vocal in Glasgow the year before his sad departure. Daddy Freddy was delighted to provide the counteraction to his former mentor’s vocal in this memorial to soundsystem history.
Stalawa continues to mine the rich seam of early digital reggae with his brilliant Buss Shot riddim track. Original Delroy Melody still has it going on with this ever timely call for peace.
Naram’s musical mastery is beyond question following his blistering output on the Australian Colonel Mustard label and we are delighted with this, his first release on Scotch Bonnet. If features Russia’s Tenor Youthman in full classical flow for a truly outer national dancehall thriller.
We must always remember to Give thanks to Jah and luckily Mr Williamz is here to remind us. Mungo’s riddim track has been much requested since first being played out as a dubplate, and this vocal sits so well on it, rocking and bobbing along.
Bim One is leading the field of Japanese production with their unique form of modern, driving dancehall. This is an exciting collaboration with the UK’s don wordsmith Macka B who takes a moment to praise soundsystem culture.
We are delighted to feature a track from France’s number one soundsystem OBF whose recent releases have changed the landscape of modern sound culture. This track is a reworking of their massive hit Dub Controller in an unusually grimy style which fits Charlie P’s vocal perfectly.
