  • Description

    After more than a decade of heating up dancefloors at over 600 festivals and stages in 34 countries and 6 released albums, the nine-headed instrumental collective Jungle by Night melted their years of passion, friendship, and influences from krautrock, dance, jazz and techno together into a new analogue composition that will put us in a trance.

    "Algorhythm" makes us revel in the human things around us and connect with each other like never before in times of rampant digital distractions. Jungle by Night: ''In a world in which technology and its algorithms have become highly influential in our daily lives, we'd almost rather stare at our screens than look out for each other. With "Algorhythm", we pay a tribute to natural, spontaneous HUMAN rhythm as a counterpoint to the sophisticated intoxicating algorithms of the computer.'' With this new analogue album, nine-headed instrumental collective Jungle By Night bursts our bubble and reminds us to surrender to being human.

    The oddball ensemble exists within its own cosmos and serves us a danceable and thundering live act, connecting with crowds like no other, with beaming fun and energy along the way. "Jungle By Night has been one of the best live bands in the Netherlands for years." - The Independent (UK) -" To top it all off, they turn the stiffest festival audience in the Netherlands into a football choir at the long end. Jungle by Night can simply do all the festivals for another year. - VPRO, 3voor12 -"They're undeniably cool, they've come from Amsterdam and they're killing it! We're talking about Jungle By Night, the young Dutchmen who have been acclaimed by Tony Allen and described as the "future of Afrobeat". - Radio Nova (FR)
