JFB
Nibley 2023
Just writing this bio gives the Nibley DJ Team goosebumps. We are beyond excited to annouce JFB will be headling our dance stage at this years event. Described by Fatboy Slim as "the thinking man’s Grandmaster Flash”. He is a multi DMC champion and turntablist extraordinaire.
He is the four times Champion DJ Title Holder JFB is considered the UK’s leading Scratch DJ and turntablist.

This winter will see him perform all the broadcast music and the TV theme tune he has produced for the televised ISL (International Swimming League) worldwide competition events, opening and closing ceremonies, and award presentations.
JFB fully understands how to make a dance floor shake. This is an artist who is completely immersed in bass culture and many of the tunes you will hear him spin, will be his own special edits, remixes and exclusives. He has performed at the Breakspoll Awards and the DnB Arena Awards as a special guest, with his nostalgic DnB routine getting massive respect from the community.
Production wise, JFB can be found with millions of plays, on Spotify or Soundcloud. He has had many releases and compilations on labels including: Hospital records, Never Say Die, UKF, Ministry Of Sound, Rat Records, Skint Records, Freshly Squeezed, Hot Cakes, Jungle Cakes, Ghetto Funk & more. He has had over 3.1 Million plays alone on one single YouTube video – his remix of ‘FatBoySlim’s’ ‘Right Here Right Now’ ‘JFB Remix’.
He has been affiliated with brands such as Pioneer DJ, Serato, Rane, Reloop, DJ City, Akai, Mix Fader, DMC, Demon, Numark, Innofader, Scratch Pro Audio, Snug Earphones, Pump Audio Earphones and German Mastro JFB Signature Headphones.
JFB is a uniquely talented DJ taking his superb technical ability on the turntables and adapting these skills to whatever environment he finds himself in. Whether its a Nightclub, Festival or Venue, he will entertain the crowd by covering all musical genres from Hiphop, Funk, Dubstep, Glitch Hop, Trap, Swing, Breakbeat and Drum & Bass with his own ‘JFB’ style.
Unlike many turntablists, JFB also knows how to balance beat juggling with dropping dance floor bombs – ultimately, it’s all about making the people move. Many of the tunes you’ll hear him spin will be his own special edits and remixes. This is an artist who’s fully immersed in bass culture, and is just as happy spinning hip-hop and drum & bass as he is jungle and dubstep. Not content with simply being a world respected DJ, JFB’s production skills have seen him release on such legendary labels as Hospital Records, Ministry Of Sound, Skint Records, Hot Cakes, Jungle Cakes, Ghetto Funk and many more.
To let JFB loose on a pair of turntables and a mixer is to see Nibley's Vinyl Frontier go off with a double bang, producing results that are just jaw-dropping!
“JFB is vastly superior to the competition… all other DJs are wack!” – Beardyman
