There are certain records that just feel like summer in motion—the kind that make you want to roll down the windows, drop the needle, and let the bassline take over.
When Jungle first broke out of London back in 2013, founders J Lloyd and Tom McFarland kept their identities completely hidden behind simple initials and sleek, single-take dance choreography. But you couldn't keep a sound that massive in the dark for long. Over the last decade, alongside creative powerhouse Lydia Kitto, Jungle has built one of the most infectious, critically acclaimed catalogs in modern electronic-soul.
From earning a Mercury Prize nomination for their gold-certified self-titled debut to winning Group of the Year at the 2024 BRIT Awards, they’ve transformed from bedroom producers into a global live touring juggernaut. If you’ve spent any time on a dancefloor or scrolling through social feeds over the last few years, you've felt the seismic impact of their viral hit "Back On 74" from 2023's Volcano.
Now, they’re getting ready to release their 5th studio album, Sunshine, on Friday, August 14th—and we are turning up the shop sound system to celebrate.
☀️ The Listening Party: Gathering in the New Space
We couldn't think of a better album to help us warm up our new home. Join us on Saturday, August 15th at 6:00 PM—just one day after the global release—for an exclusive, full-album listening party right here in our new, spacious location!
