The Fifth Dimension Ascension

Matt Xavier presents an MDA & 2CB infused three-hour live DJ mix of melodic house and techno recorded live for a psychedelic gathering at the Cuyama Badlands. A big shout-out goes to the late Alexander & Ann Shulgin for the many incredible compounds they discovered and shared with humanity throughout their amazing lives. 

This recording is dedicated to my best friend, Jill Sutherland, whose love, friendship, and wild party spirit continue to make life an even more fantastic experience. Happy Birthday, Jill!

Organic Deep House Mix / 10 tracks in 25

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.

My melodic set from Not A Cult Festival at Out To Grass, Malvern on the Church of Connection stage 06/07/25

GoneWest - Not a Cult Festival 2025

When our beloved Noisily Festival vanished without explanation, its community refused to die. Strangers who shared a deep connection through the festival stepped forward to organise an event that would embody the original Noisily spirit. It began as a modest 50-person gathering, but quickly swelled to 500 attendees. Notsilly Festival is a celebration of the underground, a community-driven homage to the music, creativity, and connection that made Noisily a beloved institution. Party Trike were involved in the organisation and hosted a stage for the full weekend. 

This set was recorded, 9pm—midnight. It was a privilege to close the Saturday night, as darkness replaced the heat of the sun and the nighttime people came alive. The set spans several sub-genres, starting with rhythmic sounds and developing into more robust, melodic house and then techno. Then winding down for a shimmery, blissed out finish.

 POoK
The stuff of Norse folklore and with a brilliant mind undulled by over two decades of raving, despite his greatest efforts, POoK is as confident deploying bangers from his studio as he is storming dance floors with his inimitable mix of relentless beats and vivid melody.
 
Inhabiting a harmonic ecosystem from inception, he has spent a lifetime gathering inspiration from artists as diverse as: Hawkwind, Hendrix, King Kurt & Fred Wesley and the Horny Horns – and from genres ranging from punk, break beat, psychobilly and acid house.
 
With solid foundations hammered into the cold, dark, granite of the Welsh Mountain free party scene, his musical journey has seen him stick to roads less travelled and choose to remain in the darker realms of the sub-terra.
 
Initially concentrating on carving out his space as a DJ, organic growth from the 90s rave scene and through early progressive house - it was then that breaks became a real thing.
Fully embroiled in the scene and never content to simply exist, it was during this time (circa 2000 onwards) that his much lauded brap.fm radio show “The Beatroute Sessions” received regular nominations for “Best Radio Show” at Breakspoll. With breaks his chosen rhythm for nearly a decade it was not until 2010 when he rediscovered techno and prog-house that his focus switched back to 4/4.
It was with this move across to driving beats that also came the decision to hone his production skills – PS1 Music Maker made way for Logic which was then switched for Ableton and rather than selling his soul for quick fire success, spent time diligently putting in the hours to learn and craft the exceptional skills he holds today.
 
Now certain in his sound and ability to consistently deliver; initial releases including “Lola” (Dino Audio) have seen huge support from the likes of Dave Seaman, Davide Squillace, Aly & Fila, Paride Saraceni, Danny Tenaglia, Paco Osuna, Cid Inc, Solarstone, Soul Button and many more. Since then releases have come far and wide with a recent signing to Hollens label - Prospect Records plus EPs on Krafted, Nightshift, Dino Audio as well as Meat Katie’s label Lowering The Tone Records.

To take things a step further, POoK has launched Red Giant Recordings which has seen a string of top ten releases and achieved a number one on Beatport in the techno charts.  
 
With regular bookings across the UK and as a central figure in Brighton’s inspired, underground, electronic music scene; POoK is a rising star with sights, much like his beloved techno, set firmly on the future and all that his hard graft and undeniable talent will bring.
 
Resident: Berlin-Brighton, Freebass, Sicknote.
Co-Promoter / Resident: SiZE – collaboration with Lola-DJ (@wearesize)
Radio: Codesouth (on hiatus after 10 year run, weekly residency)
Previous Bookings include: Turnmills, Fire, SE1, Gardeining Club, Ministry of Sound, Egg, Noisily Festival Main Stage, Audio, Zap , Digital.
