Happy Hour - January 4, 2025 - Koliko Mixtape

I wanted to share a set from an intimate club environment to switch things up so here's a recording from the Waverley in Cumberland BC October 2024. I had a blast playing everything from funk and breaks classics including lots of my own edits and remixes all the way through to DNB bangers. I hope you enjoy the journey!

A.Skillz - Live from the Waverley

WeFunkRadio is an absolute staple for Funk, Soul, Rare Groove, Hip Hop & Breaks. It was a pleasure to be asked to put a DJ Mix together for them.

Make sure you check them out here: https://www.wefunkradio.com/

"Jimi Needles goes for a late night joyride with UK flavor by Meduulla and Nightmares on Wax, handy reworks by Krafty Kuts and Duncan Gerow, and hazy gems from Thundercat and Astrological. Plus a raw rap cipher helmed by Ciphurphace, Jan Hammer's hallucinogenic "Don't You Know" and a call from the motherland on Afrocali's "The Beautiful Ones".

Jimi Needles - WeFunkRadio Mix (Show 1211)

(Verse 1)
I sent you a text, just a whisper in the dark, “Thank you, Darling,” couldn’t bare my heart. Your platinum hair glows like a soft moon’s spark, Those starlit eyes pierce where my shadows start.

(Chorus)
Oh, Darling, my words are locked away, A million fears keep my truth at bay. I dream of you in the quiet of the day, “Thank you, I’m gonna miss you,” all I could say.

(Verse 2)
One month with you, and I fell like a stone, Your smile’s a warmth I’ve never known. I see us tangled, your breath in my bones, Tasting your sweetness, but I’m still alone.

(Bridge)
Your body’s a song, waves against the shore, Every curve calls, I’m craving more. But fear’s my chain, I can’t walk through that door, So I nod, smile, and leave you like before.

(Chorus)
Oh, Darling, my words are locked away, A million fears keep my truth at bay. I dream of you in the quiet of the day, “Thank you, I’m gonna miss you,” all I could say.

(Outro)
One last goodbye, through a screen’s cold light, My heart’s with you in the still of the night. Darling, you’re the one I’ll never hold tight, “Thank you, I’m gonna miss you,” fades out of sight.

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.
