This week, dance music purveyors Jungle premiered not one, but two new tracks. ‘Happy Man’ and ‘House in LA’, the two sides of an upcoming new double A-sided single, came out of Josh Lloyd-Watson and Tom McFarland’s writing and recording out in the Hollywood Hills, quite a distance away from London. Check out the videos that go with the two new songs below. ‘Happy Man’ / ‘House in LA’ will be out on a 12″ limited edition vinyl single on the 22nd of June on XL Recordings. We haven’t written about Jungle in a while – their self-titled debut album feels like it came out an age ago, doesn’t it? – but what we do have here on TGTF on Jungle is through here.
Taking place at London’s Roundhouse throughout the duration of September, the line-up also includes the likes of David Guetta, young Australians 5 Seconds of Summer, Kylie Minogue and American hitmakers Maroon 5.
Tickets for each of the gigs are free to competition winners and the shows will be live streamed via iTunes or on Apple TV.
Speaking about the festival, Kasabian said, “We’re very proud to be in this year’s iTunes Festival line-up, and we are excited to be playing alongside so many great artists. We have had a huge year so far. Expect some surprises!”
Robert Plant, who headlines the festival on Monday the 8th of September, added, “We’ve been roaring around the world this summer from Morocco to the Arctic Circle. The band is on fire. It’s now time to shake it on down in NW1.”
The iTunes Festival 2014 line-up so far is as follows:
Tuesday 2nd September 2014 – Beck
Wednesday 3rd September 2014 – David Guetta
Thursday 4th September 2014 – 5 Seconds of Summer
