Spreading the works of Goldie...



Clifford Joseph Price (born 19 September 1965), better known as Goldie, is an English electronic music artist and DJ. 

He previously gained exposure for his work as a graffiti artist and by 1991, he had become fascinated by the British breakbeat music scene when his girlfriend, DJ Kemistry  introduced him to the pioneering jungle and drum and bass producers Dennis "Dego" McFarlane and Mark "Marc Mac" Clair, known as 4hero. He is now well known for his innovations in the Jungle and Drum and Bass music genres, yet remains unknown in Sri Lanka... together we can change this!!


Junglist Movement & Mission


A Jungllst missionary is a Junglist sent into an area through the inspiration of Drum & Bass to proselytise and/or perform ministries of service especially in the service of spreading the good news of DnB.

The word "mission" originates from 1598 when the Jesuits sent members abroad, derived from the Latin missionem (nom. missio), meaning "act of sending" or mittere, meaning "to send".

The word was used in light of its biblical usage; in the Latin translation of the Bible, Christ uses the word when sending the disciples to preach in his name. But although the term is most commonly used for Christian missions, it can be used for any creed, ideology or movement. In this instance the Junglist Movement.


About Sri Lanka

Formerly known as Ceylon, this island country off the southern coast of India is famous for its natural beauty, cultural diversity, and tea production. Sri Lanka´s once thriving economy is on the rebound following 26 years of civil war, coupled with devastation to seaside communities from the 2004 Asia tsunami. More than 35,000 inhabitants died in the natural disaster. 

A long history of colonialism has created a resistance to Western influences. Coastal sections of the island were controlled by the Portuguese in the 1500s, followed by the Dutch in the 1600s. In 1802 it became a British crown colony. Ceylon gained independence in 1948 and its name was changed to Sri Lanka in 1972.

Tensions between Sri Lanka´s Sinhalese majority and Tamil separatists based in the northern part of the country erupted into full-scale war in 1983. A ceasefire was temporarily declared between the government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in 2002, but remnants of the independence movement were officially defeated in 2009. An estimated 60,000 -100,000 people were killed in the conflict.
