📣 YO GANG!
Picture the scene... it's the 2010s
You just wrapped up another boring school day and you're chilling with your brethren at the usual spot — maybe the high school sports ground, or was it that sketchy little park 🌳?
☀️ The afternoon sun is slowly setting in the west, a hard to come by funny cigarette is being passed around, Everyone’s venting about that math teacher again. One homie is sweating over a failed test their dad cannot find out about...Then... THE MOMENT happens.
One of your friends (the one whose parents were doing alright 💸) pulls out a brand new Sony Ericsson and says: "Yo, check this tune out, some guy called Radikal Guru made an Alborosie remix!"
🎶A slow skank followed with what can be best described as a cacophony of echoed voices starts blasting from the miniature mobile phone speaker.
"Sipple it down, down, Sipple it down, down, It's a rude bwoy town It's Kingston town..."
The drum rolls, then the bass drops and the wobbly riddim rides on...
👀 Everyone’s red-eyed and nodding in sync — mesmerized.
You don't know it yet, but this is a core event that will determine your musical tastes for the rest of your life...
This was the vibe all across this corner of the world.
(honourable mentions to the likes of Marlon Asher, Afroman and early Dubioza Kolektiv follow soon)
It's an integral part of a generational folklore, a pivotal moment of a young mind that led to a series of events which eventually dictated the "feel" of an era...or was it the hormones and the W**d?
How can you cash on nostalgia when the feeling is sincere?
🌟 THE VIBES ARE BACK! 🌟

⏰ Time: 22h
📍 Location: Fort Bourguignon, Pula
Way before we got acquainted with the term "Moonshine style" or soundsystem culture in general most of us got in touch with the music the artists who cracked through the pores of the relatively early internet/youtube and the now forgotten art and the ancient art of Bluetooth/Infrared file sharing 🔁🔥of music through our mobile phones, one such artist that captured the ever evolving sound of bass culture was, and still is RADIKAL GURU ...
🇵🇱 Hailing from Poland, Mateusz Miller shaped a deep, urban, mysterious fusion of dub, reggae & dubstep — perfect for a new era of heads 👑
A new style was born in that era, not as harsh and alienating like the mainstream Dubstep sounds to some ears, nor slow and "boring" as roots was to some younger dreadz, it was deep, dynamic, urban and had a shrew of mystery to it, a style tailor-made for the 2010s!
Bukkha, Numa Crew, Dubbing Sun and others soon followed, But the originator?
Always Guru 🛐
It’s a privilege to host him in Pula for a one-off, never-again session
and who to call to bring us company but long time idren the Jena oldhead from Basskateers - Signore Sereno and Dem Crew's finest Jah Pismen - LIVE & DIRECT ON MUNCHIES SOUNDSYSTEM
Warming up the session
Jah Pismen 🗣️ - probably the most eloquent guy from Vodnjan that you
had the pleasure of meeting! He cast his street cred into stone in his
youth with the infamous Dem Crew (talking about nostalgia) soon
followed up with the homegrown trip-hop of Soundcheck Regazz and
nowadays with his Toni Disco alter ego. pusti bit yo, all night long! 🪩
In combination -
🧙♂️ Signore Sereno the ever youthful - the man behind the bottle of solimate! 💚
He was there, man! Back in 1996 on the first Fusion festival, Kitachi live in dub! Seriously!
Also, doing his thing with Basskateers & Sabali records since way back when, and making positive changes to the world, one Dub at a time <3
🔊 MUNCHIES SOUNDSYSTEM –
The crew making tourists question their life choices at 3AM 😅
Just back from the french trip, richer for a dubplate or two, some new boxes and a few tall tales from the road to tell!🚐🎶
CRO:
📣 YO Bando!
Zamisli scenu... Neke rane 2010-e
Upravo je završio još jedan dosadan školski dan i visiš sa ekipom na standardnoj lokaciji — možda školsko igralište, ili je bio onaj sumnjivi parkić 🌳?
☀️ Popodnevno sunce polako zalazi na zapadu... neka pljuga ide u krug, Svi nešto njurgaju o onom profi iz matematike. Jedan frend paničari zbog jedinice u imenikukoji njegov stari nikako ne smije saznat
I odjednom... se dogodi.
Jedan iz ekipe (onaj sa doborstojećim starcima💸) vadi novi Sony Ericsson i kaže:
"Eee, čuj ovo – neki lik zove se Radikal Guru, napravio remixod one pjesme od Alborosiea!!"
🎶 Lagani skank, praćen nečim što se može opisati kao kakofonija jeke glasova, krešti iz minijaturnog zvučnika mobitela...
“Sipple it down, down, Sipple it down, down,
It’s a rude bwoy town… It’s Kingston town…”
Drumm roll, bass drop i wobbly riddim fura dalje...
👀 Svi crvenih očiju klimaju glavom – hipnotizirani.
Ne znaš još, ali to je trenutak koji će ti oblikovati glazbeni ukus za cijeli život
Ovo je bila spika diljem ovog malenog dijela svijeta
(Časne mentione za Marlon Ashera, Afromana i rane dane Dubioza Kolektiva )
Ovakav događaj je sastavni dio generacijskog folklora, prekretnica u umu klinaca koja je pokrenula niz događaja što su oblikovali “vybe” jedne ere...
...ili su to ipak bili hormoni i *khm*? 🤷♂️🌬️
Kako možeš zarađivati na nostalgiji ako je osjećaj isken?
🚨 Ponosno vam predstavljamo:
🎚️ Radikal Guru w/
🎛️ Signore Sereno &
🎤 Jah Pismen
Live & direct na:
💥 MUNCHIES SOUNDSYSTEM 🔊🔊🔊
📅 Datum: 16.08 2025.
⏰ Vrijeme: 22h
📍 Lokacija: Fort Bourguignon, Pula
Puno prije nego smo znali što znači "Moonshine style" ili soundsystem kultura općenito
većina nas se prvi put srela s ovom glazbom kroz rane dane interneta/YouTube-a i sad zaboravljenu vještinu Bluetooth/Infrared razmjene pjesama putem mobitela 🔁🔥
Jedan od izvođača koji je tada uhvatio duh stalno-evoluirajuće bass kulture bio je – i još uvijek jest – RADIKAL GURU
🇵🇱 Fraer je Poljak - tada pojma nismo imali, Mateusz Miller oblikovao je novi u do tada ne viđenu fuziju dub-a, reggaea i dubstepa – savršenu za novu generaciju ekiparaca
Pojavio se novi stil za tu eru – ne toliko napadan i otuđujuć kao što je mnogima bio mainstream dubstep, niti previše spor i "dosadan" kao što je roots bio mlađioj bandi –
već dubok, dinamičan, urban, s dozom tajnovitosti...
Stil skrojen za 2010-e!
Bukkha, Numa Crew, Dubbing Sun i ostali su ubrzo slijedili, ali original?
Uvijek Guru 🛐
✨ Velika nam je čast ugostiti ga na one-off sessionu u Puli 🎟️
Za dobro društvo pozvali smo long time idrene: Iz daleke Jene — Signore Sereno iz Basskateers bande, te Vodnjans Finest iz Dem Crewa – Jah Pismen – LIVE & DIRECT na MUNCHIES SOUNDSYSTEMU
🔥 Warming up session
Jah Pismen 🗣️ – vjerojatno najelokventniji lik iz Vodnjana kojeg ste ikad upoznali!
Street cred uklesan i u kamen of mladih dana sa Dem Crewom (eh nostalgija),
kasnije s domaćim trip-hop projektom Soundcheck Regazz, a danas punoi plesnjake pod alter egom Toni Disco. - Pusti bit yo, all night long! 🪩
🎧 In combination–🧙♂️ Signore Sereno, vječni mladić iz DDR-a — čovjek iza flaše Solimatea💚
Bio je tamo, brate! Još ’96. na prvom Fusion festivalu, Kitachi live in dub! Ozbiljno! Vjeruj mi!
A od pamtivjeka vrti s Basskateers i Sabali Records !
making positive changes to the world, one Dub at a time <3
