Simon Shackleton – CHPTR 001
Ambient, SloMo, Psychedelic House, Nu Disco, Breaks, Electro, Tech House & Techno

This is the beginning of a new series of mixes and live events I’m calling CHPTR – a space for storytelling through sound.

Each mix will explore a different emotional arc, unfolding like a narrative across genres, tempos, and textures. Some will be recorded live in the studio, others captured live at CHPTR events. They’re connected by a shared intention: to take you on a journey.

Each set is crafted to unfold like a narrative – rich in texture, emotional depth, and movement. Not just a collection of tunes, but a journey with intention behind every transition, shift, and silence.

CHPTR 001 is, in many ways, a psychedelic selection – not in the hippy sense, but in how it gently alters perception over time. It starts slow, ambient, and introspective, gradually evolving through hypnotic grooves, off-kilter house, breakbeats, and late-night techno. It’s cinematic, immersive, and designed to be experienced as a whole.

Featuring music by Mark Barrott, Jose Solano, Dizharmonia, LTJ, Josh Wink (Adana Twins Remix – Simon’s VIP Edit), Left/Right, BRONSON, and unreleased edits and reconstructions of my own.

If you enjoy the ride and/or would like a copy of the tracklisting of this mix, then please feel free to buy me a coffee. I love coffee! https://coff.ee/simonshackleton 

Thanks for stepping into this new CHPTR.

Producer Gavin Hardkiss delivers a DJ mixtape of 16 songs  written and produced for the Inheritance project.

Inheritance tracks life growing up in South Africa through the '90s Hardkiss San Francisco era to his current multi-genre tastes. The project is a Basquiat-like collage of sounds inherited along the way. Voices heard as a boy through the second floor bedroom window in Johannesburg. Sounds accumulated in dusty warehouses throughout America in the '90s. Collaborations with Nigerian performer Bisi, Kenyan singer Lucinda Karrey, snippets of conversation from Johannesburg and Oakland, alongside Instagram audio grabs. All of it glued and twisted together over a 5 year period in his studio in San Rafael California.


Inheritance will be released as a DJ mixtape on Soundcloud and Youtube.  All the individual songs are available for streaming and purchasing at your favorite digital destination.

Gavin Hardkiss has long been a DJs who skirts genres and always surprises with his hybrid styles and rich textures that fuse modern and classic electronic music influences. Whether you’re into Amapiano, Afrohouse, minimal tech, highlife or breaks, there’s something here for you.

I sure hope you enjoy my second set from Camp Dayfunk 2025 as much as I enjoyed playing it!   If you do, please give it a like and consider re-posting it on Soundcloud - it just takes a second and is the most helpful way to share cool music to new people!

Camp Dayfunk is a Minneapolis-based campout in just its second year, taking place 2 hours East in the Wisconsin Woods - and I enjoyed its quality, intimacy, and cute little camp touches immensely.  Both this event and this set are very special to me <3

Before anything, let's talk about the Mix Cover.  I got great pictures from my first set and none from this 2nd, and it's fine.  Because I got something better than a picture - I got a Danceflooor Badge!  

It was one of the greatest honors of my DJ career to earn one of only 8 Dance Floor badges given out at this event  - not for my 4 hours of playing music where I dance some but maintain focus on the mixing - but for my many more hours of representation on the dancefloor as a dancer, which is where this all started for me... and honestly has stayed.  

I fricken love dancing and absolutely think it makes me a better DJ to study and appreciate music from both sides of the decks. I don't dance to everything and also want to give props where props are due - the music at this event was rock solid, and receiving the dance badge has as much to do with the quality of the other DJs playing as it does my dance stamina.  Fun fact, the most I ever danced was at @mingameslaby in Japan in 2007 ;)

Okay, about the music and vision for this set!  My first set at the event, the night before, was previously posted to the event's Soundcloud (@user-467880110) and I had a full dancefloor and lots of energy coming back at me - a Dj's dream.

This, my second set, Saturday 4-6pm, was a bit different.  It's daytime, there's a beach, and @djdanmusic, @Dj-Mes, and Mazi aka @audiosoulproject are playing B2B2B on that stage.  Right at the same time as my set at the Pavilion stage!  First thing that comes to my mind after I realize they are simultaneous - wtf am I going to do?

Contrast is the answer.  If people want it funky, they're gonna want to be down at the other stage.  I mean I wanted to be there too lol.  And who the heck wants the 2 stages to sound the same anyway, that's silly.  So I leaned into this contrast theme for my set.  Someone told me that I may have confused people a little lol.  I said 'good!'  

I'm really glad I had the opportunity to play the night before, because that was my more funky set - though my interpretation is a bit different from most.  I also won some hearts there, which created more interest than there would have been I think.

So anyway, this set was a challenge - a friendly challenge to myself to play a 2 hour set that was a bit out of the box without losing people, that would serve as a worthy contrast to that devastating funk of Dan, Mes and Mazi.  
 
I would guess overall people there probably liked my first set a tad more - but for me this one was hands-down the winner.  Partly because it was a full 2 hours of new music. Partly because my cup was already full since  I had nailed my set the night before and even got extended an extra hour -  the best hour.  And partly because I had experienced some challenge locking the XDJ the night before, but was effortlessly near flawless on Saturday. I felt zero pressure to do anything but be myself, and play what I felt at that time <3

In general, I favor very full tracks that envelope you with sound.  Besides contrast, the theme for this set is laid back and expansive.  There's funkiness, sure, there are some peaks and valleys energetically, but not at all like the night set.  Overall, it's a smooth ride through deep house with some vocals, minimal house and even a touch of techno, all  around 124bpm. 

Thanks for reading to the end!  I Hope you enjoy the music, and perhaps this background too!

Night Out

"This is my Saturday sunset set from the Pink Mammoth camp at this year’s Burn. A moment I look forward to all year. There’s something special about watching the sky melt into firelight as the dance floor comes alive. Pink Mammoth is more than a camp, it’s home, it’s family, it’s a pulse I’ve been in rhythm with for years. The energy at sunset is magnetic, always a challenge for me to stop playing. Yet, as the final tracks fade, we all feel the call. The pull toward the burn of the Man. l begin already looking forward to next year together.
I hope this mix carries a bit of that magic for you, wherever you are." - Marques Wyatt

We are excited to have Marques joining us at our sunset party in Los Angeles October 17th.

Last things first :) - Presenting the closing set from Trropical 27- Year Anniversary Hot Tub Oasis Retreat, recorded 10 PM to Midnight on Sunday night, closing all the music at our event <3

It was a very intense event with a huge downpour in the middle followed by a double rainbow, ao many beautiful moments and one tragic one.

But here we celebrate life and house music with old school Tropical resident DJ Dazy's digital comeback - first time ever to play a digital sat at Tropical, having pretty much exiting DJing with motherhood 20 years ago in 2005.

Dazy played the second -ever Tropical event, (rescheduled from December 1998 to May 1999) was the first female DJ to play at Tropical, instantly becoming resident DJ, playing almost all the Tropical warehouse parties and some boat parties too.

Tropical founder Ben Annand had been nagging Dazy for years to make the digital transition  - and it finally happened in 2025!

Chunky house beats, deep disco vibes and fun vocals characterize this set. - Hope you love it as much as we do!
