Praise for their UK #3 album Loving In Stereo
“London dance duo turned 14-legged groove machine Jungle have a track record of disco-infused floorfillers.” – The Guardian
“Like Goldie and LTJ Bukem at The Blue Note in the mid 90s, Jungle got their groove back.” – Mixmag
“Their third effort sees them significantly expanding their horizons, and blowing the idea of what a Jungle song can be wide open.” – NME
“There are few music producers who can create bold and striking pieces of art to the high level that Jungle can.” – 1883
“Thoroughly enjoyable” 4q* Mojo

Jungle follow last year’s critically adored UK #3 album ‘Loving In Stereo’ with some huge plans for 2022 including headline Australian tour dates and a spot on Splendour in the Grass.
Amidst all of that, the duo – J and T – have also hit Metropolis Studios in London to work on new music which will shape the next chapter in the Jungle story. Today they share the first result of those sessions with the brand new standalone singles ‘GOOD TIMES’ and ‘PROBLEMZ’. The two songs are also combined in a new video, which bursts with the joyous, high intensity choreography that is a defining hallmark of the Jungle aesthetic.
‘GOOD TIMES’ brims with the kind of gospel fervour, spirited soul and disco-meets-hip-hop beats that will make it an irresistible highlight of their upcoming celebratory shows. ‘PROBLEMZ’ then drops the tempo but swelters just as intensely, its soaring vocal harmonies, blissful grooves and irresistible hand-clap beats establishing a similarly sun-kissed delirium. In short: these are two tracks built to achieve communal euphoria during Jungle’s exuberant live experience.
Directed – as ever – by JFC Worldwide (Charlie Placido and J. Lloyd), the accompanying short film stars Amsterdam’s leading dance crew the Ghetto Funk Collective alongside some familiar faces from previous Jungle videos. It opens with a girls versus boys dance battle soundtracked by ‘GOOD TIMES’, but the vibe is unity rather than competition, while the uplifting ambience is heightened by effervescent cinematography and classic ‘70s fashion. The lighting drops to deep red as the action shifts to Alberto’s Jazz Bar for ‘PROBLEMZ’. While the dance moves are more laidback, they’re just as eye-catching.
Jungle’s three albums to date – the Mercury-nominated, Gold-certified debut Jungle plus For Ever and their highest-charting album Loving In Stereo – have established the duo as an iconic force. All three records hit the UK Top 10, leading to a total of 1.2 billion streams and 750,000 album sales to date. They’re also a huge draw in the live arena, with highlights including a London show at the iconic Alexandra Palace and a four-night run at the O2 Academy Brixton, as well as playing every key UK festival from Glastonbury to Meltdown. Jungle’s appeal is truly global, as evidenced by Loving In Stereo hitting #1 on Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Album chart and festival sets as far afield as Coachella, Splendour in the Grass and Lollapalooza Brazil.
2022 has already seen Jungle tour extensively, with performances everywhere from Argentina to Mexico and from Latvia to Spain. Their upcoming UK and Ireland dates include being special guests to Billie Eilish. Meanwhile, highlights of their upcoming US touring include two arena shows as guests to Gorillaz. Please see their website for ticket details and a full list of all international shows.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
