Bad From Riddim – Mungos Hi Fi

Bad From Riddim is a 2014 Mungo’s Hi Fi production that brings together a sharp mix of roots voices and harder dancehall energy across a 12-track set. The line-up pairs veterans like Daddy Freddy, Earl Sixteen, Warrior Queen and YT with names including Conny Ras, Steady Ranks, Fu Steps, Longfingah, Jennifer Barret and Mikey Murka, plus the dub cut Bad From Riddim and the instrumental International Roots Dub. Built from the Glasgow sound system’s dubwise style, the release leans into heavy bass and stripped-back pressure while still leaving room for conscious tunes like International Roots, Cut Out The Hatred and Hail The King. Released on Scotch Bonnet, it sits comfortably in Mungo’s long run of sound system records that blur the line between roots reggae, dub and modern dancehall.
