My legendary renegade set from Shambhala 2022 is OUT NOW! 🌲💚 This is the first mix I’ve put out in OVER 3 YEARS! Read the full story below! 🇨🇦✨

At first I was pretty bummed that I didn’t get booked for Shambhala last year. I had played every year since 2016, and it had become the centre of my universe. But I decided I was not going to let it get me down. Just because I didn’t get booked, why should I miss out on experiencing my favourite festival in the world? I decided I was going to the festival regardless, and I was going to have the best time I possibly could. And I sure as hell did.

After sourcing a guest pass from Boogie T (thanks homie!) I set the wheels in motion. Somehow, somewhere, I was gonna play a set! I reached out on the Shambhala Farmily Facebook group for a renegade stage to play on and got inundated with requests, most of which sounded something like “come and play in our campsite, we have a party rocker and a DJ controller”! Not quite what I was looking for. Finally, literally as I was arriving at the festival, I was contacted by a lovely lady named Amber who said she could host me at “Camp Shinder”. I had lucked out. These guys had a PK rig, lights, and a pair of CDJ3000s… Not bad for a campsite! Word got around and I ended up playing to literally hundreds of people that night - before the music had even officially started! My Shambhala was off to a good start...

My weekend just got crazier from here on... I joined Def3 on stage at The Amp the next day to perform our track “Sink Or Swim” (coming soon) as we crowd surfed in a dinghy. I joined Dirt Monkey on stage at The Village. I played another impromptu set on the Fractal Beach stage (big ups Wes Please for sorting that out). I joined The Sponges on stage at the Fractal Forest and played guitar on "Jerry Brain”, my favourite track of theirs. And I topped it all off by spending Sunday night with Boogie T who brought me on stage at The Pagoda as he played our collab “Swamp Ting"… Epic times!

It was an absolutely magical weekend. I can honestly say that it was my favourite Shambhala ever. And I wasn’t even booked to play! So, THANK YOU to everyone that made my weekend so special and made me feel so welcome despite not being on the line up. There’s a reason we call Shambhala home...

Big loves everyone. I hope you enjoy the set. See you this summer in the Fractal Forest!

Father Funk - Shambhala Renegade Set 2022

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

"It's been 5 years since Mr Switch (5x DMC World Champion) and Jimi Needles put out their infamous 9 Minutes of the 90's minimix. To celebrate their new 4 deck 90's show coming in 2024, they've put together a little masterclass showcase of mashing, scratching and remixing as many of your favourite 90's tunes from all styles. Prepare to be taken back to the 90's!"

This was my 12th time playing Fractal Forest and it just keeps on getting better and better! Big up my Fractal Fam, it's always an honour! <3

NEON STEVE - FRACTAL FOREST 2024 MIX

My headline set from The Hot Dogger in January 2025 at Lake Louise Ski Resort in Banff National Park <3 I remember attending this party many years ago. SkiiTour was headlining at the time and the night solidified itself as a core memory for me. Raving in a ski lodge is THE BEST. When Lake Louise asked if I would headline the 2025 event I was blown away. This was a very full circle moment for me. Thanks for sharing in the dance and for listening.

I had a blast putting this one together. A mix of high energy music; bass house, tech house, minimal house, techno, uk garage, speed garage, breaks, jersey, DNB, and dubstep. Thanks for vibing! Set list below.

Father Funk - Funk The House Vol. 1 (FREE DL)

It’s always an honour to play at shambhala and i’m excited to finally share a set live from the Fractal forest for the first time in all the years I’ve been playing (about 10 i think!)

Live from the Fractal Forest Shambhala 2016

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.

So my NYE didn’t go exactly according to plan… We ran a night at the Trinity Centre in Bristol called “The Fresh Prince of New Year” and I put together a special 90s set which I produced a bunch of new music for, but sadly I never got to play it! My laptop overheated at the gig I played in Exeter earlier in the night (30 seconds before the countdown too!) so when I got back to Bristol I had to wing my set on a friends laptop using an old backup… Anyway, I pulled it all off in the end but unfortunately no one ever got to hear my special set - UNTIL NOW! So here it is, the set that never happened... Enjoy! :)
