Mr Switch presents Jibbering Records Special (Part 1)

***
As a warm-up to this year's Shambala Festival, here's a special DJ mix from the archives of legendary Birmingham institution, Jibbering Records.

Compiled & mixed by Mr Switch, who was given special access to the remaining back catalogue of the now-defunct Moseley record shop, and presents here the finest selection of funk, latin, reggae & world music (with a few surprises thrown in for good measure!)

Mixed using 100% original vinyl, every sound drawn solely from the Jibbering vaults, this podcast is a prelude to Mr Switch's live Jibbering Records showcase at Shambala - which you can catch live on Sunday at the World Music stage from 8-9 pm, or as a podcast which will be uploaded post-Shambala.

Enjoy!


Shambala Fest 2014 - Jibbering Records Back-Catalogue Special

❤️ RIP Gwen McCrae

Put together this little tribute (with a bit of help from Etta James)

Tribute to Gwen McCrae

After my performance on Rob Da Bank's Electro Swing showcase in 2010, I was pleasantly surprised to be asked back for his Christmas special at the end of the year.

In a similar fashion to that show, the mix goes across multiple genres, features tracks with links of varying tenacity to the festive season & seriously strange live turntablist scratch mash-ups. See which tunes you recognise - there's a lot of classics in there (in particular, try & guess what I use for my opening routine before the tune drops)!

* If you want to skip past my interview (I would, my voice is atrocious) the mix starts
proper at 1.26.

Radio 1 Rob Da Bank Christmas Spesh

Unpunished Monsters are a duo from Oxford who produce what could best be described as electro-funk music, but has otherwise been called "eclectic, psychedelic and brilliant".

In celebration of their self-titled debut EP, they were looking to have a demo mixtape done. I heard their material & simply couldn't turn it down.
