Say Hello!

Jimi Needles - Needlewurk Vol. 1 (Mixtape)

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!"

**Tracklist coming soon...

Jimi Needles - Needlewurk Vol.2 (Mixtape)

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.

Jimi Needles' musical roots are in hip hop, soul, funk, and disco, but on the turntables he combines pin-point scratching, intricate cuts, breaks, and bass music to craft a unique and high-energy sound that spans genres and keeps the crowd moving! His dynamic sets always pay homage to old-school classics while blending modern sounds, ensuring every performance is one-of-a-kind.

Known for his genre-defying party mixtapes, deck-defying festival performances, and an array of bootlegs and original productions on labels like Swing & Bass, Thick Boy Records, and Jungle Strikes, Jimi has built a reputation as both a skilled turntablist and an innovative producer.

In November 2024, he released his debut album, ''Ample Clearance'', a self-produced project that showcases his versatility as an artist, as a writer, a DJ and a producer. Jimi is also one of the tour DJs for the Symphonica Orchestra, adding his super-tight skills to their live and electric renditions of club classic dance hits.
