Mr Switch & Jimi Needles

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

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!"

Jimi Needles & Mr Switch - 90's Remixed (DJ Mix)

It's about that time of year again, when any artist worth his salt will be dropping a promo mix to flex those DJ muscles at summer venues around the globe. Leo NXT, with his refined focus in production and DJing, blends elements of hip-hop with house music. It's time to showcase his unique sound that seamlessly merges these two cultures, resulting in a DJ set that not only maintains the energy to keep a dance floor alive but also infuses funky scratches and live remixes to maintain originality while fostering familiarity.

Rhino Soulsystem - Beast Mode (Mixtape)

Without doubt my favourite show this year, so it was the perfect time to release a set that combines all things Krafty. I put months into this show with loads of exclusive edits, remixes & unreleased tracks. The Fractal Forest is a very special place to perform & a massive shout goes to my buddy DJ Maculate who provided amazing visuals for this set which is available on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMXX3tpWltk&t=680s

Mucky Weekender DJ Set (ft. Leon Rhymes)

It was once again an absolute honour and privilege to play in Swingamajig at Shambala 2025, every time I leave this festival full of joy and my soul fully replenished, can't wait to do it all over again.

Before the festival a challenge was made to put together a set that fitted the venue and the wider Festivals vibe. It was a whole lot of fun liberally sprinkling some Swingamajig & Shambala magic throughout this set.

Hope this brings back some joyous memories for those that were there and piques the interest to sample Shambala in 2026 for those that weren't. x

A Frankenstein’s monster of a mix! Back from the dead (aka BUSY) it's DJ L@rgey. Finally in the mixtape saddle again. Yee haw.

This one’s a genre-smashed, tempo-riding, edit-heavy beast - stitched together with original mashups, DJ reworks, and a lot of late-night TLC. Hopefully, it's a romp of a listen.

Big props to DJ Jimi Needles for lots of the killer edits and superb Ableton tips, and to the whole Jimi Patreon crew for your support, advice and encouragement. I was rusty AF… but I think I found the oil can!  Also useful for the nuts either side of my neck (they weren't there before?!)

The Halloween Mixtape

Welcome to volume 3 of The Beatles Dub Club! 

A special DJ set showcasing The Fab Four like you've never heard before!

DJ Chris Arnold takes you on a magical mystery tour of his collection of covers, remixes and tracks that sampled arguably the greatest band that ever existed - The Beatles. 

Expect to hear plenty of reggae, ska, latin, hip hop, dub, funk, house and even drum & bass takes on the wonderful music created by John, Paul, George & Ringo.

Since its explosive debut in 2021, The Beatles Dub Club has packed out stages at Glastonbury, Boomtown, Latitude, Isle of Wight, Camp Bestival, Green Man and far beyond.

The show has been championed by Fatboy Slim, who personally invited Chris to perform at his All Back To Minehead Butlins weekender, and has been tipped by Far Out Magazine as one of Glastonbury’s “Top 20 Alternative Acts to Watch”.

The Beatles Dub Club has since gone truly international, with acclaimed tours across Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Bali, while continuing to light up festivals all over the UK & Ireland - including standout sets supporting UB40, Craig Charles and The Wailers.

"If Sergeant Pepper had been a DJ, this would have been his set..." - Fatboy Slim

"Far from pure novelty, it is a wonderful way to celebrate music in all of its connective guises" - Far Out Magazine

"Something so effective, and seemingly obvious, that it feels as if it should have existed for much longer than its inception just a few years ago" - The Fix Magazine

"Loving it!" - Mary McCartney

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.
