On August 18, the Front Stage of the Black Sea Arena will host the British electronic music project Jungle, which was created by London-based musicians Josh Lloyd-Watson and Tom McFarland in 2013.
Busy Earnin', the first important composition of musicians inspired by Nu Disco and Funk sounds, was released in April 2014 and immediately caught the attention of listeners and music critics. Casio, released in 2018, is still considered one of the outstanding compositions of the band and does not lose its relevance.
Jungle release their eagerly anticipated fourth album ‘VOLCANO’ alongside their first feature-length film ‘VOLCANO, The Motion Picture’.
Jungle’s recent singles - ‘Candle Flame’, ‘Dominoes’, ‘I’ve Been In Love’ and ‘Back On 74’ – see the duo using the exemplary musicianship and live instrumentation of their renowned live shows as the foundation for their forward-facing, hybrid of disco, soul and hip-hop. Resulting in 25 million streams so far, the four tracks have earned extensive ongoing support at Radio 1 as well as further key airplay spanning Radio 2, Radio 5, 6 Music, Apple Music 1 and Radio X.
The new focus track ‘You Ain’t No Celebrity’ shows a different side to ‘VOLCANO’, the track starts with a lilting gospel fervour before switching up to a punchy hip-hop beat as featured artist and legendary, influential UK rapper Roots Manuva jumps in with his inimitable, charismatic bars.
With ‘VOLCANO’, Jungle have once again proven themselves to be one of the most exciting and innovative artists in electronic music. They continue to push the boundaries of their sound, creating an uplifting and free-spirited album, solidifying the duo’s status as one of the most important voices in contemporary music.
Since its inception, the group has been actively visiting world-famous festivals and concert halls, and the Black Sea Arena will be added to their number in 2024.
