Chungo-Bungo all-day party held at The Courtyard, an outdoor venue in Glasgow.
Hosting Brother Culture and King's HiFi, Chungo-Bungo provided hours' worth of reggae, dub, rocksteady, dancehall and dubstep on the huge Dub Alliance Soundsystem.
Focusing on reggae's association with nature, its Afro-Carribean roots, and the colours of Ethioia (R/G/Y), Produ[k]t created a forest environment inside the venue. Due to the high-walled enclosed space that is the Courtyard's outdoor space, the forest, created from real foliage attached to the walls, pipes and banniesters, was naturally immersive.
During the day, the colourful plant-life was a nice reminder of the venue's outdoor space within a surrounding urban environment, and was lit nicely by the natural sunlight making for a nice place to sit, relax and listen to reggae music.
As the night progressed the sunlight began to disappear and the music slowly got louder and heavier. By the time the headline act appeared night had settled in and the atmosphere of the venue had completely changed. The soft sunlight was replaced by a pitch black sky and an array of red, green and yellow lighting. Over the course of the day, the once colourful plant-life gradually died and withered, and this, paired with the heavier bass, created a much darker and foreboding jungle environment.
All of this was supplemented by vinyl and log-cuttings all hand-painted by Produ[k]t with the (CB) logo.
