London's Jungle arrived in 2014 with a debut that felt genuinely mysterious, two anonymous producers crafting something warm and communal out of bedroom sessions before the world h ad any idea who they were. The vintage soul and funk textures here draw a clear line back to early-70s Philly and Sly Stone, filtered through a distinctly British electronic sensibility that caught ears well beyond the dance music world. Based around a core musical duo known simply as J and T who expand to a thrilling seven piece live band, Jungle make mesmeric, modern soul with true global appeal. Combining what The Guardian notes as "tribal in terms of rhythm but postpunk in sensibility" and Brooklyn Vegan proclaims has "a real vintage-ness here, recalling the period of funk and soul just as those genres started transitioning into disco," Jungle has quickly perked the curiosity of media across the globe.
