My good friend Geordy Carson booked me to play Live at Fozzy Fest in 2012 as Elite Force. It was a heavy weekend that involved shows in Denver, Philadelphia and in the Kananaskis mountains, two hours outside of Calgary ... not to mention two transatlantic flights and 72-hours of sleep deprivation!

Fozzy Fest was epic. Set in incredible mountain surroundings, it was like a small-scale version of Shambhala, built with love and forged through community. This high-quality recording of the event suddenly materialized through the ether in 2021 ... and it's really not bad at all! 

This was an interesting time for music - this set is a journey through multiple genres and is very much about sustaining a real sense of peak-time energy.

Many of the photographers have their idents on the photos I used to piece this tribute to FozzyFest together. Their work is inspiring and exceptional, so please check them out via the FozzyFest Facebook page.

I’m excited to be back and refreshed after spending a large chunk of the summer in the US on a much-needed family vacation. Since I got back I’ve been listening to thousands of tracks and promos, cleaning up my DJ library, and becoming enthused about the wealth of good music that’s out there at the moment (although you have to dig pretty hard to find it!).

It’s been three years since I last created an Elite Force DJ mix. While my focus has recently turned to my Simon Shackleton output, there’s been a nagging desire to create something a little tougher from some of the great breakbeat and techno that’s being made at the moment.

May The Force Be With You.

Elite Force (aka Simon Shackleton) - DJ Mix Oct 2022

Aloha,

Here you go my friends, something different from me….

This is not a promo mix and I’m not trying to generate work off the back of it, it’s simply a mid-tempo DJ mix.  I have been collecting tracks for a while that didn’t seem to fit anywhere in my sets, but that I really love, so I decided to put them into a mix in their own right… music with a late night, deep & sleazy electronic feel, full of atmosphere, with a splattering of dark funk thrown in. 

I’ve got plenty of brand new peak time releases coming shortly on my Lowering The Tone imprint, from Pook/ & Lola, Lee Coombs, Matt Goddard/Dopamine, Ben Coda, Carbon Kingdom and myself, but in the meantime welcome to the “Den Of Iniquity” :-)

Enjoy!!

Mark (Meat Katie)

Elite Force - Beatfactor Promo Mix December 2004

Lee Coombs started his DJing career in the late 80's producing his first track under the guise of The Invisible Men. With a chance meeting with Finger Lickin label boss Justin Rushmoore Lee found a home to release his special brand of music.

This mix was recorded for Triple J Radio Australia in 2003 and is an example of Lee's musical style.

Adam Freeland - Triple J Mixup - 26.1.2004

Considered one of the pioneers of the Nu Skool Breaks sound and an innovative person in trying out new sounds Adam Freeland was pretty much there at the beginning of the Nu Skool Breaks genre. This mix from 1999 was a kick start of the scene as we know it today for Breaks. Adam had a regular slot on UK's KISS FM with his ground breaking breakbeat show mixing (all in vinyl) a collection of artists that paved the way for a very loved genre at that time.
