JUNGLE brought The Heat to Liverpool Music Week

Bringing Funk and Soul to the modern day, seven-piece Jungle took over Liverpool’s Invisible Wind Factory as part of the 2017’s Liverpool Music Week.

Blossoming from a musical project between two Londoners’ Tom and Josh, they have since drew back the curtain revealing the seven-piece live line-up. Hitting the UK’s Top 10 charts with debut and self-titled album, touring world-wide with Haim and being creative forces in bringing to the table innovative videos for singles, Platoon and The Heat, Jungle have bagged a global following since forming in 2013.

After the significant loss of The Kazimier Club in January 2016, a new creation was born in September this year – The Invisible Wind Factory. Providing intimate, immersive shows from a variety of artists since the opening, the new venue seemed fitting for the evening’s events with it’s layout and decoration – The Kazimier Production team never do things by halves.

Two new track were introduced on the night, House in L.A and Beat 54 drifting not too far from the recurring use of synths scales, retro funk feel. – A tease of new material, let’s pray for a new album to appear soon.

The roars hit hard when the wailing sirens were let loose for the track, The Heat, that casts you back to the image of b-boy’s rollerskating in matching tracksuits in a suburban backdrop as displayed in the well-known video.

Of course, the anticipation rose to wait to hear the synth washes that break into Busy Earnin’ arguably the track that peaked Jungle. A soundtrack for adverts and inevitbale one to stick in your mind and have you singing all night long.

Drawing the night to a close, after grooves have been made and shapes have been thrown, Time was the perfect song to go out with a bang. The funky little number rounded up the clean performance with soothing harmonies, some bass and those synths that leaked in throughout.
