Make the plan. Work the plan. The plan works. These are the words I utter to myself as I begin the long but exciting journey of releasing an album.
This was meant to drop as standalone remix. And after much deliberation with the band's former record label (who they are no longer with), we were finally allowed to release this! And even better, because to quote ''Jimi made this song his own...

Hi gang!
Some of you will remember this dropping last summer, and as is tradition, when something drops to the general public, you guys, especially new crew, get to hear it and have the chance to grab it again. My patreon music will mostly never be released publicly, but about small percentege of my remixes and boots will get dropped to the world.
For those that don't kn...

You guys all know I'm always trying push the boundaries and road test new styles and genres (as long as it's funky!). Most if not all the music I create for Patreon is always part of my own DJ sets and mixtapes, but do you want to hear more of a certain style? Here's ya chance!

Hi gang, the version I uploaded the other day to my Patreon was an early draft: I actually had two tunes in Volume 2 that were in Volume 1 and quickly realised this!
Anyway, please find the final version attached. And also a link to it on Soundcloud if you feel like shouting about it!

Yes gang. I don't think you're ready for this tune... I really don't!
This is the first banger in a series of several singles which will ultimately culminate in my debut album. It's funky, it's scratchy, there's a brass section, I'm scratching all over it and there's a huge bass drop. It's me, personified on a record. Plus I've roped in Dub FX's right hand man, the legendary Mr Woodnote, ...

Hi folks, for those of you who are DJs and Scratchers, I'm opening up my studio next month for a whole day of DJ related fun, scratching and jamming. There are limited spots (8 people) as my studio is modest in size but would love to see some of you and jam!
Please let me know if either or both of these dates work for you. People are encouraged to bring DJ Mixers and Needles/Carts.

Hello friends!
This is a track that has been a staple in my Disco / House sets since 2020, I refrained from putting it out during the Pandemic because really believed it need a label; a home. Fast forward to the release date next week on the 25th January 2024, the amazing Bristol-based Thick Boy Records have signed it and it's dropping on all platforms.
If you love your funk, filter...

A massive thank you to everyone! I don't think I could do what I do without my Patreon community nowadays, the support is amazing, and you keep me so totally focussed on my music. Here's to a prosperous, successf...

Good afternoon Patreon Crew!
Thank you for all the support this year.
I hope lots of my tunes have been on rotation in your music libraries or DJ sets, and that you're digging the musical direction of where I'm going. I super appreciate you all!

Now it's usually tradition that I'll remix a Christmas classic in the style of D&B or Jungle, and this year is no exception! This is available slightly early (for those xmas house parties and all you DJs out there!) as I finish off the rest of this month's music which should drop next week once I've road-tested it this weekend. Download is attached below!
Biggest of ups!

Some of you may recall getting an exclusive look at this festive feast two years ago, but it ''officially'' dropped last year and had some crazy love from people all over the world. You can stream it here, on Soundcloud, and download it below.
This month's drop is in the pipeline and I can't wait to share it with you!

Some of you grabbed this last year on here, but it was my plan to unleash it to the general public this week... HOWEVER... Soundcloud did it's thing and immediately removed it from my profile. I guess some things on my Patreon are just never destined to see the light of day.
This version is a *slightly* different arrangement to the one you might already have. I'd rock with this one ...

Dear all Patrons
As I'm sure you are aware I'm a bit late on this months drop! (To all my new patrons, welcome, and watch out around the 15th of each month when music drops) - currently got 3 mixtapes on the go, and had to buy/transfer my production suite to a brand new computer as my iMac sadly passed away (luckily I didn't lose anything - backup your computers folks!). I've also t...

Although there's no exclusive download for yal, there WILL be some Patreon-exclusive edits and mashups from this mixtape dropping over the next few months so keep your eyes peeled. I've included the tracklisting below just in case any of you were wondering!
Been messing with loads of speed breaks, UKG and bass house - thanks post UK Festival season. Hopefully this dose of nostalgia coupled with one of the biggest UK grime anthems will bring the hype!
Patrons have access to the instrumental (attached). If you'd like the full version, please visit and download it here on 2023-11-01 15:51:40 +0000 UTC

As some of you Patreon oldschoolers will remember, this dropped last Halloween! But I've decided to let it out of the bag for the entire world. And of course, when that happens, it's custom for all of you lot to get a copy in case you missed it or weren't a member back then. That's how we roll.
There is a bonus mixtool full of samples from The Nightmare Before Christmas film that I used i...

Hello friends!
Two bangers doing the damage this month, including the obligatory halloween remix!
Skepta ft JME - That's Not Me (Jimi Needles Remix) - Using the awesome power of AI, I managed to extract the vocals from this badman tune from the original song, and reverse engineer it into something quite whacky. Think 'Cherly Lynn - To Be Real' turbo-charged!

Hello friends. As you know my musical care packages drop around the half-way mark of each month, and you may or may not have realised that September's care package of funky treats hasn't dropped just yet. Rest assured, I've finishing off a few bits for a 90's mixtape with my good friend Mr Switch, but the real reason is... I'VE FINISHED MY ALBUM!
I've got a few tweaks here and there to so...

Sup friends! Working on a few bits for the end of the festival season and seeing as the original tune has been rinsed to death this summer, I've come up with a D&B to Hip Hop mixtool. This is for the DJs only, and blend the original version into my gnarly midtempo remix that dropped last week! Please find a copy attached for all Patrons below.

Dimension - DJ Turn It Up (Jimi Needles Remix)
This ''Bounce'' genre is strong new contender in the midtempo bass scene. Think heavy/street drums, 808s, and often funky riffs and sound fx. It appeals to the new generation and the old and I'm living for it! I've flipped the biggest D&B tu...

Hello all my amazing Patrons! As is a longstanding tradition, when something that has previously been released exclusively to you guys gets release publicly, you all get to hear and download it again - also means that any new Patrons won't miss out; there's an exclusive Instrumental and Drumapella of this for you too.
