The latest edition of our Inspired By mix series features Mr. West taking on the challenge of reimagining the sounds of the Botanica stage at his very own festival, Westival. 

In his own words:

'Botanica, the 300 cap indoor dome, is littered with jungle foliage and greenery to create the botanical effect, and is one of Westival’s 5 stages. The decks are placed in the middle, and the lighting and sound is hung from a central truss cube to give 360 D&B audio, and a chance for anybody in the crowd to be part of the atmosphere.

Since the stages inception in 2022, Botanica has played to host some of my favourite artists; Quest, Interplanetary Criminal, Local Group, Jay Carder, Desert Sound Colony, Darwin, and a raucous 5hr back-to back from Dr Banana and Lukas Wigflex.

In Botanica, most DJs play with an ‘anything goes’ attitude, and this mix is no different. UKG, Breaks, Wobblers, Speedy bits, Euphoric numbers, there really is something for everyone. During most sets I try and cover an array of styles, playing what feel’s right for the crowd and setting. Recording a set is of course a little different, but I’ve gone in with the same emphasis on mixing things up and darting around the genres.'

Jimi Dee.

Born and raised in North Yorkshire, Jimi has had a passion for music since an early age and boasts a record collection like no other. 

Although Jimi has been working on perfecting his sound, in the background a brand new label is under creation and set to launch in 2024. 

Heavily influenced by the underground house and garage scene, this 2 hour mix is something very special and one of our favourite to date. Smooth, silky transitions and unreleased tracks, this instalment will undeniably turn a few heads.  

Enjoy.
