Straight up playing in the background.  It did the thing so many times, I had to look and see who's mix it is.  Of course its Mr. Synergy <3

Nearing the end of this effort AND haven't disliked any of it. In fact, it's great! We haven't had the pleasure of listening to trance in over 5yrs & have enjoyed this greatly, dancing to it too :) Thnx Nick for the link!! And thnx for the insightful Intro Comment!

I rather enjoyed the fuck out of myself.  <3

Get Lost — Sunset Breaks Mix

Happiness for your ears from beautiful melodic to dark and dirty techno. Some favourites from parties I played over the summer to some new favourites of mine. Enjoy! :)

Regenerate

Filled with passion and fire, EXOENDO takes you up on a journey over a dynamic landscape of DnB with COMIN’ IN HOT - a blend of jazzy liquid funk, layered harmonic textures, glossy smooth synths, with a horizon of groovy soulful melodies and a whole lot of deep full-bodied bumpin’ bass.

Enjoy!

EXOENDO — COMIN' IN HOT - APV 014

First time messing around and using an XDJ-RX3.  No set preparation or postproduction mastering.  Just a raw recording while trying to figure out what all the knobs, pads, and buttons do.

FnF Submission 2023 (OrganicHouse)

When I was a kid, I used to wake up with ink stains on my shirt from falling asleep writing so much poetry. Often I wouldn't know what exactly I would even be writing about until I felt like a piece was complete, and only after I read it all the way through did I know what I was trying to express.

I wasn't quite sure what Left of Exile meant to me at first, but looking back now I can tell it's about the story of how I've overcome loneliness and isolation in my life. I look back on these mixes and remember what was happening in the world at that time, as well as whatever I happen to be going through both good and bad.

I hope this marks a time in your life as well. I'm appreciative of going on this journey with you. Thank you for going on it with me 🙏🏽

My Friday night set on the main stage at the Friends & Family Summer Campout. Recorded live, June 2, 2023.

Rainbow Connection: Live at FnF XXV

Here's my set from the 25th annual edition of the Friends and Family Summer Campout. I rerecorded it as there were a couple mixing glitches in the live version - nothing too heinous, but also nothing I wanted to hear every time I listen to this set in the future. So, made it right for posterity!  =) Sound-wise, this set has a slightly different sound palette for me and even has just a touch of a psy tech towards the end - a nod to Khromata who was following me, and also just some new sounds coming out of producers I've loved for years. So, dig those big, belching, growly synths! As always, massive thanks to everyone that made and makes FnF happen. Raving aint easy, and it remains so amazing that we're still here. Rock on!

We think it feels like a grassy afternoon with laughing friends in a deep party vibe.

Dao & Pwny's Brass Tax Bouncy Castle Siege 2016

A couple of years ago, I played at an event in Flagstaff called Innerspace. This installment of the event was called InnerDimensions. I really like the Innerspace theme, and it caused me to think deeply about individuality, interrelation, solitude, introspection, and presence. I assembled a batch of music for crafting a heady and introverted journey into the self, a return to source. It was a very memorable event, with a dancing crowd and a great vibe, and we all had fun – but I also encountered some nifty technical difficulties, which disrupted my flow, limited the tracks that I could play, and diminished what I had *really* meant to do - which later got me thinking even more…

There are many substantial interactions and opportunities in life that one must get right the first time, and not so many that can be corrected and crafted over time. What can be accomplished when practice can be made perfect? What if there were as much space and time and understanding as needed to say the right thing at the right time, with a clear message of truth and integrity? What if there were the opportunity to get things right a second or third time? What if more people took the time to learn and understand themselves and others, and saw eye to eye? What could people heal and communicate and accomplish with maximal self-awareness? What if I just remade the Innerspace set with all the music I had wanted to play, and made it into something much more?

This recording is for thinkers, doers, and dreamers. It is for answering one’s own questions and solving one’s own problems. It is for those who value substance over status, actively listen, and don’t look gifts from the heart in the mouth. It is for those who like to go deep within, and hang out there. It is for innovators, collaborators, fine-tuners, forward thinkers, unsung heroes, and lifelong friends.  It is for those who revel in well-crafted music, and well-crafted life. It is for adventurous road trips and dancing around in your living room. It is still flawed, still human - but still precise and specific. It is more as it was meant to be the first time.

Every one of us is an individual, and a continual work in progress. One must know and experience oneself to grow and achieve, with mind in the big picture, eyes on the past, present, and future, and heart in the right place. One has to look deep inside of things to know their true value, and then great gratitude comes.

I've been on a substantial inward journey for a few years now. I recommend it. Massive thanks and love to all friends and family, for being there with and for me over all these years.

DONATIONS: www.paypal.me/simonshackleton
Whilst donations are by no means necessary, they are a huge help in meeting the streaming & studio costs in putting these events together for you. They also ensure that you become part of a growing group of supporters who will receive each set as a download.

In these strange and challenging times, we need friends, family, and community more than ever. For that reason, I've created a series of online gatherings under the 'We Are One' banner as a means of bringing people together from all corners of the globe to laugh, love, and dance (like no one's watching).

This set was created using 8 decks on Ableton, an APC40 Controller and a LaunchKey MIDI keyboard (with 3 channels of overdubs). What you hear is created live and on-the-fly.

Thank you for listening.
