Jungle closed Rock-A-Field 2014 intimately on the Soulkitchen Tent stage in the early hours of Monday morning, but the band is far too much of a gem to stay undiscovered by a larger audience… You’re safe! They’ll play the A! In May 2013, London collective Jungle sprang out of the blocks to widespread acclaim with their urban-tribal debut track Platoon. Jungle’s neo-soul is world music for rundown inner cities. The band is conjuring up an alluringly smooth sound, with a mesmeric groove and focus on subtlety and melody. And their midtempo groove – and it is a groove, not a beat or a pulse – is New York electrofunk via Manchester… The handclaps are disco and the tempo hints at hedonism!
