The track we’ll be opening our next DJ set with
Mungo’s Hi Fi Feat Charlie P: Back To My Roots
This track is one that always lifts the mood and sets the tone perfectly.
The track we always play to rescue a dancefloor
Mungo’s Hi Fi: Musically Mad Feat Mr Williamz
If in doubt, go musically mad. Never fails.
The track we wish we’d signed to our label
Skream Feat Warrior Queen: Check It
We asked him in 2006 when he played in Glasgow on our sound system in a basement for around 20 people. He asked for £300, which was more than we could afford at the time.
The track we’d play to show off OUR eclectic tastes
The Jellies: Jive Baby On A Saturday Night
First heard this in a mixtape by Optimo, and it stuck with us, especially the bassline. Everyone likes to jive on a Saturday night, right?
The track that got us out of bed this morning
Fabian Miranda: Destiny
To get everyone thinking about their identity and where their home is in this society.
The track we’d play at an aunties’ wedding
OBF Feat YT: Goin In
Love YT. Love OBF. Just love.
The track that currently gets the most rewinds
Mungo’s Hi Fi Feat Daddy Freddy & Sugar Minott: Raggamuffin (Chimpo remix)
This tune has been wheeled up from Glasgow to Rio.
The best track by our favourite new artist
Tradesman Feat Parly B: Rudeboy Skank
Tradesman, who is actually originally a tradesman, is a young guy from Leeds who is churning out dancefloor smashers.
The track we wish we’d never played
Beastie Boys: Girls
Craig put this on just before handing over to Tom. Funny, but awkward for a politically conscious festival crowd.
The track that should have been a crossover hit
Mungo’s Hi Fi Feat Soom T: Did You Really Know
We put this out in the early days with almost no media campaign, no video, no radio push and it has organically grown all by itself over the years.
The track we’d play at our funeral
Mungo’s Hi Fi Feat Charlie P: Traveller
Sadly, this brings back memories from last summer when our good friend Simon passed away unexpectedly. This was the track that played on repeat at his funeral.
Mungo’s Hi Fi play The Unicorn, Porthtowan, Saturday 11 April; Reggae Roast, Electric Brixton, SW2 & Sub89, Reading, Friday 17 April
