Support for ‘JUNGLE TRAIN’
“‘It’s beautifully shot, and the contrast between the two lifestyles is stark and effective. The flute samples in ‘Jungle Train’ and the vocals of Little Green are a dreamy combination.” – The AU Review (AUS)
“The kind of collab that just really fits together so nicely. Lamalo are in their element when they’re giving us fluid house grooves and with Little Green, they’ve only topped things up with her hypnotic, jazzy vibes.” – 4/5 stars – Dave Ruby Howe – triple j (AUS)
“Lamalo infuse this brooding electronic sound with mannerisms intertwined from disco, funk, jazz and beyond; each sound they approach seemingly being a new direction that takes them somewhere unexplored and yet despite that, they manage to knock it out of the park every single time without fault.” – Pilerats (AUS)

Following on from the release of their critically praised single ‘Jungle Train’ featuring Little Green, Sydney-based producer duo Lamalo have returned with the accompanying video clip – shot and directed by Milan Nikolich.
Shot across Revesby Station and a farm in Sydney’s North West, the clip features a narrative of a woman who is shackled by her mundane reality and 9-5 job. Filmed with a camera used on the set of Mad Max: Fury Road, the video flows effortlessly from sterile metropolitan spaces, to lush natural surroundings, highlighting the main characters’ desire for escape and freedom.
Lamalo talks about the inspiration behind the clip: “The video explores liberation from an uninspiring work life. The clip follows a woman (played by Amy) as she travels to work in the early hours of the morning dreaming about a utopian existence, becoming one with nature and with music. Amy was planning to be barefoot in the farm section of the shoot, however the area was crawling with bull ants. We had to scour the ground, prepare the leaves that she was going to dance on and then shoot really quickly to minimise the risk.”

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.
