Key Information
Rockers Hi-Fi were an electronic dub/dance group formed in Birmingham, England in 1991 as Original Rockers. In 1994, they changed their name to Rockers Hi-Fi. Their music was quite popular across Europe.[citation needed] The group consisted of MC Farda P, Glyn "Bigga" Bush, and Richard "DJ Dick" Whittingham.[1] The group disbanded in 1999.
Biography
[edit]Their first success came with a few tracks on the Beyond Records Ambient Dub series of compilations, and "Push Push" became a dancefloor hit in the beginning of the 1990s.
They released four studio albums and also mixed and compiled an album for Studio !K7's DJ-Kicks series.[when?]
In 1992, Whittingham and Glyn Bush founded the label Different Drummer, releasing music from both Original Rockers/Rockers Hi-Fi and others.[2]
Their song "What a Life!" was part of the soundtrack for the 1995 film The Basketball Diaries, and "Going Under (Love & Insanity Dub) (K&D Sessions)" featured in the 2000 film Traffic, as well as in the mid-season finale to the first season of the television series The O.C.
After disbanding
[edit]Whittingham hosts Leftfoot at the Medicine Bar.[citation needed] In the 2000s, Bush produced music as BiggaBush (beats/electronic) and Lightning Head (dub/samba/latin/afrobeat)[3] on his own Lion Head label.
Style
[edit]Their urban sound was created by Whittingham who began his DJ career in Duran Duran's Rum Runner nightclub, and Bush.[citation needed] It was seen as an extension and continuation of the dub music.
