The Art of Jungle Love

Leave the banality of domestic life to immerse yourself in a haze of bubbles, music, art & loving souls.
As ‘Wanda’ carried our excited crew through the undulating hills, it was evident the recent rains had reinvigorated the land; it felt as if that vibe had saturated the mood of every inhabitant of the line of vehicles winding their way toward the festival entry. Approaching the camping zones was a sloshy affair. Heavy last-minute downpours had in turn led to last minute changes in zone arrangements which the staff communicated and organised with utter professionalism. Instructions were given clearly, everyone helped those in need to get tents up and cars free from thick mud. The show of human spirit and care was truely heartwarming. Luckily, our set up was done and dusted in no time; we were so keen to get entwined in everything Jungle Love had to offer.

Eyes open with wonder, soaking up the abundant good vibes, I headed down from camp to kick off my virgin Jungle Love adventure. I felt so at home in the free atmosphere, the naked detail of every art installation made my imagination buzz with thoughts of how creative and clever the artists are. An indulgent festival on every level, a feast for your mind, body and soul; Jungle Love is more than groovy alternative music. It’s like being enveloped in a cocoon of bliss being surrounded by lush forestry. Fellow festivallians spent many sunny hours floating in the cool waters of the fresh creek watching bubbles float by on the breeze while listening to an array of incredible music of all styles.
At night, the jungle came to life with fascinating street art performance, random hug givers and playful jam sessions in the Chai tent. Each stage had its own vibe, all performers thrilled us delivering energetic shows that had all punters revelling. Artists and festivalians alike worked on the live art walls and later quite a number partied through to the wee hours in the Kunst Klub and Love Room…yes, it’s exactly what you think ;) Looking back on the weekend, the entire festival was abundant with good vibes, incredible tunes, intriguing characters, loved up punters and ran superbly despite the wet start.


Thanks for showing me the art of Jungle Loving crew!

Journey through Desire Path.

Talking with Yeo, I felt like I was chatting to a friend, he is humble and honest. We spoke about the themes intertwined in 'Desire Path' and how each collaboration came about. Your last album was really playful both in the music and the lyrics.  Listening to your new album ‘Desire Path’, I felt like a it’s journey through different relationships.  Yeah, I think even if the lyrics get really literal, music to me is based on emotion and emotions are kind of nothing without a relationship to give it context I feel. Well when you think about, it relationships rule our lives, whether it be a friendship, family or a work colleague they are always an influence; but I feel quite a few of these tracks are about love relationships? There’s a few on this album, and I haven’t done this for a while. The last album had a couple, but I feel like I got more honest on this one.  I agree, you have a great way with words and that draws me in to your music. I take an expression of hum...

PLANET - The Struggle for Support is real for Emerging Artists

Words of wisdom for every emerging artist from PLANET's Matty Took. I wanted to start a conversation about the reality of following your dreams in the music industry in Australia. We want young artists to understand these challenges a little better & know they are not alone in the struggle.  Your bio states that you had several years of trial and error in your songcrafting. What was the defining moment you found your rhythm and were happy about what you were producing? I feel like every band or musician starting off doesn't really know what “their sound is” or know what their vibe as a musician is when starting off. Especially when they throw themselves in the deep end at a younger age, without any ‘behind the scenes’ work and no label behind them. This was us, as we just started playing straight away. We’ve all played in a few different bands in our time so hundreds of songs have come in and out. Our defining moment was probably about 3 years ago when we start...
