Salmonella Dub started the
writing and recording process for Andy’s Jam and Searching
for the Sungle in the summer of 2012 in their Hapuku
Creative Retreat the week before the last Kaikoura Roots
Festival.
Andy’s Jam was inseminated in this session
with a guitar riff from Andrew with trombone, trumpet +
melodica motifs added by Pete Wood, ethereal intro vocals
from Dave Deakins, sax from Ants Smith and keys from Mant.
The arrangement was incubated in Sydney at Ants’s Smith

Soundsystem tours of Oz between 2013 and 2016.
In 2017
the band engaged Nino Birch to pen lyrics for 3 new tunes,
