Final Future Jungle Blog Post


The Future Jungle Blog was created by myself in April 2011, by November Tariq had joined the team and over the coming years gradually took over the day to day running of the blog, the soundcloud page and the Facebook page.

We have always done this for the love of the music and have invested a great deal of our time and money to try and get the music we love out to peoples ears.

Recently our main source of output, Soundcloud has changed in a massive way and unfortunately this has meant that to organisations like ourselves who try to promote other people’s music that we hold no rights to, even with their permission in many cases can fall foul of copyright law.

This has meant that we have now had 3 strikes on Soundcloud and are soon expecting a ban.

With the renewal of our Pro account due at the end of September Myself and Tariq have jointly decided that with regret , it is not only time to stop our renewal of our pro account but also to call it a day on The Future Jungle Blog as a whole.

We would like to thank all of you that have ever had any involvement with the blog in any way shape or form because without you we wouldn’t have been able to keep it up for as long as we did.

We have both thoroughly enjoyed our time involved with the blog but feel it’s time for something new.

We share a very broad appreciation for Bass Music as a whole and you can rest assured that we will be seen again together in a new project in the not too distant future.

Thanks to you all.

Lucas & Tariq (The Future Jungle Blog)

Nixon- Simple Minds/Watch Dis [Punks Music]

Nixon's EP last year on Punks Music absolutely tore things up but if you think that was good, wait until you hear whats coming on 31/08/15 lets begin with 'Simple Minds' a slice of pure junglism, old skool samples, a very famous vocal refrain and bass that will rattle your cage, description alone isn't enough, you have to hit play. 'Watch Dis' is what a Good Looking Records track might sound like pitched down to breaks tempo, its mind blowing, seriously, we love this label and we reckon this might the labels finest release to date

Nayim - Feeling The Rave [Kode 5]

'Feeling The Rave' by Nayim out today on Kode 5, a track that walks up to you with vicks in hand, a whistle hung round the neck, bare chested save for a luminous road safety jacket, gloved in white and decked out with a nice sunhat sucking away frantically on a pacifier in a manner that would put Maggie Simpson to shame, this is a pure slice of 'ardcore you know the score' as if plucked from the halcyon rave era itself with strong influences of rave legend Acen and other masters of 'ardcore of that very time, give this a blast and you'll definitely be feeling the rave!!!
