Brief history of jungle
Like the man who wrote the page says, it’s just for fun and not meant to be some reference piece, but it’s a nice read and some clips of really good tunes to kill half an hour or so

Wily gives away 200 tracks
This won’t be news for people who go on the net every day but Hiphop/Grime godfather Wiley got in a huff with his record company and gave away about 200 tracks for free.
The really cool thing is that he is still gonna make an album, he just wanted to fuck over record companies
More of this sort of thing!

Yardcore
Another long overdue bigup to another great mix blog
Updated fairly regularly with their own mixes dubstep, jungle, hiphop etc
Yardcore is a collective of four London Djs: Codeshift, Mashforcash, Rrritalin and Dj Rum. We’ve been playing dancefloors since 2006, as well as putting on parties showcasing our favourite producers from all corners of the electronic music scene.
Culture System : Excellent music blog
This is one of my new favourite blogs. It seems to be updated every couple of days with some high quality off key but in a good way music, usally dubstep or 140bpm stuff but usually with an international feel. Always something worth a listen and it also mean a massive archive of excellent tunes. A lot of the stuff for my mixes has come from here so just thought I’d make a quick post to big them up
Another day out from Breem and Carmella
More excellent photos and writing from the gruesome twosome. This time they went to Glasson Dock and Cockersands Abby

Some cool games
Thought I’d post some cool games I found up since I haven’t posted for a week
Life is good here I spose, I’m 30 years old now by the way which makes it a bit strange still being exactly the same as 25 only with a slightly better job and a bit more of a clue
anyway, i still play flash games a lot, especially at work right now cos we don’t have so many students, so here are some of my favourites
Pixel Breakout
It’s an arty version of the old arcade game Breakout, more something to watch than play
Breakout
Auditorium
This is a lovely game where you have to bounce light around to make a piece of music, really nicely designed and relaxing to play with great music and visuals
Auditorium
Everyday the Same Dream
A really nice piece of art, you are an office drone and, well you can work it out…..It’s worth working out the puzzle because the ending is really witty
Air Pressure
Another arty adventure/puzzle. This one is about dependent relationships. I really love the music for this and how surprisingly dark it is
Air Pressure
Robot Wants Kitty
Cool platform game, puzzles aren’t that difficult but it has lovely music and graphics
Top 10 Cities that never were
Interesting article about 10 ambitious plans for cities that never came to be
For thousands of years cities have been the manifestation of humankind’s artistry, imagination, and instinct to succeed. They embody our strong social desires and longing to create grand masterpieces. London, Constantinople, Paris, New York, Ancient Rome, and Tokyo have been just a few of the dazzling trophies mankind has built. But there have been many cases in which someone’s vision for a better, more efficient, or more fantastic city collapsed into a heap of broken dreams. These are ten cities that were never built, ten cities you will never visit.
We are 4!!!!
It was 4 years ago today that the Coolestthingever/ChildrenoftheAtom website was started. I set it up as a free forum because I was getting too much stick on urban75 for fucking around and making rubbish jokes rather than representing the UK’s underground scene like they do
It started as a bit of a joke but developed into something quite good. Over the years there have been some sound people come and go, some people have stayed, some people pop in from time to time, but i’m really glad i started it, and I’m proud that we’ve managed to keep it going for 4 years and it doesn’t look like stopping any time soon
We are still just a teeny little board in the big internet, and as anyone who has followed us will know, we aren’t generating anything like the content we were a few years ago, or should be considering that we have so many creative friends and members, but it is still a great place, basically one long drunken conversation between friends
so raise a glass
Not dead….
Sorry I haven’t posted for two weeks. here comes a load of links to make up for it
Grindthieves is a really awesome music blog, the guy who runs it is a great producer, but he also puts up shitloads of great mixes and tunes by others. It’s a real hub for jungley ameny sort of music and all for free….
A really good list of dark future films, not sure I agree with the order all of the films are in, but apparently they compiled it by combining ratings from imdb and rotten tomatoes so it’s not just their bad choice…. Either way it’s a really good list of awesome dystopian science fiction movies
Play loads of SNES games in your browser. This works best on Google Chrome if possible, but runs on Java with anything. Decent selection of ROMS and good loading time so great for the bored at work crew
A load of free music
oh and ps
The link to our forum was our old forum that has been dead for years, I’ve just changed it to our much better new forum
Soundcloud
Just a short post bigging up a new music sharing website I found called soundcloud
I really like this because it works in china and loads really fast, there are lots of good artists using it, and it lets you leave comments on the actual part of the song that you like, not just the whole song. I’ve been looking for a site like this for ages, so I’m happy to find this one haha
