The Jungle Giants- Trippin Up
Australian indie royalty The Jungle Giants team up with young gun on the block Odd Mob for a remix of their most recent single “Trippin Up.” With thumping beats and spacey instrumentals that build from a mellow groove to a hazy dance break, paired with Sam Hale’s striking vocals, the track comes fully revamped as a new entity. Odd Mob has brought his deft touch to the drum and bass banger from The Jungle Giants while retaining their classic effervescent sound.
