London collective Jungle are a band renowned for exquisitely curated remixes of their music. Their half-a-million selling, Brit and Mercury Prize-nominated eponymous debut album spawned a string of top-drawer remixes from the likes of Soulwax, Special Request, Zomby and Joe Goddard that transported their productions from their Shepherds Bush studio setup to dancefloors around the world.
Today the band reveal the first mix from their second album For Ever, which was released to widespread acclaim in September via XL Recording. ‘Beat 54 (Krystal Klear 12″ Mix)‘ sees sophisticated studio scientist and DJ Krystal Klear, arguably having the biggest year of his career on the back of his huge crossover anthem ‘Neutron Dance‘, step up to rework Jungle’s current single ‘Beat 54 (All Good Now)’. Krystal Klear’s M.O. has been pretty straightforward from day one: dance music that makes people actually dance. And this version – with on foot in the disco camp, the other in the house and techno world and, in Kyrstal Klear’s own words, “made with memories from New York in the perspective” – perfectly delivers.
