For the past decade Jungle have been making music for letting loose. Their own blend of nostalgia-flecked funk, disco and beyond is joy-filled stuff, ideal for festival stages. The London duo’s fourth record Volcano, released earlier this month, is no different. Stuffed full of sun-drenched sounds and earworm hooks, it suited the revellers at their All Points East headline show just fine.
This was a crowd so hell-bent on having a good time, one of the biggest cheers of the day arrived when a sliver of sun revealed itself from behind apocalyptic storm clouds, following a thunderous downpour that meant several of the event’s mid-afternoon performances had to be called off.
