Jungle by Night are seven Dutch guys who together form a live act to be reckoned with.
Their seventh and latest studio album ‘Algorythm’ serves
as an homage to all electronic sounds. You might call it Computer Love,
if this wasn’t all analogue. This Amsterdam band consists of a lot of
synths, drums, bass, guitar and percussion enhanced by a trumpet and
trombone. From more brass-heavy earlier albums to a stronger focus on
the electronic groove on their latest, they bravely go where no band has
gone before and now find themselves in the goldilocks zone between
analogue dance music, funk, Krautrock, 70’s funk and 80’s electro.
The transfer to a more electronically driven sound might have been a
small step for this merry band of highly skilled musicians, but it became a
giant leap for the people on the dance floor. Their radiant and energetic
live shows have become the must-see festival act that festivalgoers all
over Europe include as a staple in their concert schedule. They know this
won’t be a show, it’ll be a downright party. It’s like that tree in the forest.
Was it really a festival if you didn’t see Jungle by Night? What constitutes
this ever-present attraction is the highly danceable and addicting build up
of their set, in which they take their audience by the hand and lead them
into the groove. What happens when you come out on the other side?
Depends. Just know you won’t be the same.
