Hi friends!
Here's a compilation of 12 of favourite personal Xmas Edits and Remixes including lots of new tunes! Perfect Xmas ammo for your House Party Playlist or Festive DJ Set! You can PREVIEW THEM HERE.
Sup gang... it took a while, but we got there. Releasing an album while DJing, Dadding, Producing & Living all at the same time is tricky, especially when you're doing it all on your own! Luckily I've been cooking up a storm in the lab so come check out this month's crazy content. I've got two breakbeat monsters for you this month...

My debut album, ''Ample Clearance'', is DROPPING TOMORROW. I cannot stress how much I have been looking forward to this day!
Thank you to EVERYONE who has pre-ordered the record on 12" Vinyl - this helps me and my artistry out so so much. And thank you to everyone who has pre-saved the album on their streaming platform. Thank you all for supporting m...

It's a particularly exciting time at Needles HQ. You have ALL been on this music journey with me for so darn long repping my music and being my biggest champions, that an album to really cement my name in breakbeat history was really, really needed.
Today the Vinyl arrived at my studio. I'm taking a whole...

Sorry it's late this month, I've had the worst Flu you can imagine, plus a whole bunch of eye problems, luckily all short term problems as I'm all better now but darn it knocked me for six! I'd probably call it post-Summer burn out, but summer's over, and it's now time for one chapter of the year to end and a new one to start as I start prepping for my album launch, mixtapes, and of course, exc...

Even amongst the chaos of festival season, I've delivered a month of absolute stompers. This is one of those ''fun for the whole family'' music drops; DnB, Disco, Rave, Heavy Funk and RnB. Quite the month, let's check it out.

Some of you read at the beginning of the year that my debut record is dropping some time this year, but I need your help. Because I'm self-releasing, the album will drop in three flavours:
1. Digital (Streaming Services, and WAV/MP3 D/L)
2. USB (Containing Demo Tracks, Drumapellas, Instrumentals, Stems, ...

Hi friends! It's about time for some more original music, and it's hella funky.
I wrote this tune last year and it's been a big part of my DJ sets, and I'm stoked to announce that this tune is gonna feature on my debut album.

This is strictly a nostalgia month. I've been booked for 3 weddings this summer and I'm super picky when I choose them. If they don't see me spin at a festival first, it's not gonna happen. That being said, I've been scratching up loads of mid-noughties indie anthems, 80s classics and dancefloor stalwarts for ages, and now I'm going through a whole bunch of super regular tunes and giving them a...

Don't even ask me how I found the time to take two weeks off (new dad, again! mother and baby doing great!) and deliver this much funky feel good this month. I feel like I've been on the edge of my seat, pumped full of adrenaline, waiting for the baby to arrive. And now we here. Ruby Jane, welcome to Earth!
This month has a particular theme. 140 being the magic number. And funk being the ...

My new album track ''Serving Suggestion'' out this Friday 31st May! I've never released a pure turntablism record before, but I think last summer hanging out with DJs and pals JFB & Mr Switch, plus doing a lot of work for DMC and recently Monkey Shoulder forced me to get the studio and write some funky riffs and even a silly storyboard.
This record is loosely bas...

What! Early?! Me?
Yes. In a bid to change the time of the month when music drops, we are now looking at music being delivered on around the 1st/2nd of each month instead of ''somewhere near the 15th''. When I first set up my Patreon in December 2019, it just happened to be mid-month and wanted to correct it ever since. Housekeeping!
This month is another corker. Lots of fun to be ha...
2024-05-02 19:39:06 +0000 UTC View PostI know a lot of you are avid record collectors and lovers of music, but would a Jimi Needles vinyl be something you'd be interesting in seeing? Would you play it? What size? And most importantly what would you want to hear on there?
Any comments, please leave a message below.
...and remember, you really can't beat that sound!

Jamie T - Shiela (Jimi Needles Jungle Mix) - This was a huge tune when I was a student and you'd be correct that dropping this at the rave to a bunch of 35 year olds would set things off.

Hi guys
This track needed a bit more work on the bass drop.
As you know, you guys get 90% of the music and edits I make. Sometimes that means you'll get a version of a tune that isn't the final version. And in this case this is it.
This absolutely bangs on the drop now! Please find the new master attached beneath! Tier 3 patrons, this has been replaced in your dropbox folder w...
