Jeff's earliest experience in dance music began in the mid-1980s in Sacramento, California working as a DJ for private events, local clubs to finally hitting the air waves on Sacramento’s popular FM-102 mix show as a guest DJ, mixing the latest club hits over the late-night weekend hours. 

In 1987, Jeff would make the move to Los Angeles to attend school to become a Sound Engineer. As fate would have it, Jeff (known as Spinn at the time) would eventually make his way to producing remixes in Burbank, California for Alternative & New Wave artists such as Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, Fine Young Cannibals to EMF and was heard on the World Famous KROQ (106.7FM) exclusively. Soon after, Jeff’s voice and mixing talents could be heard as a co-host and mix show DJ on the legendary "Mars FM Top 30 Countdown" (103.1FM) with host and legend, Swedish Egil. In 1991, this Santa Monica based station was known for breaking such acts as Moby, The Prodigy, 808 State to Rozalla. Mars FM was also the first Electronic Dance Music station in the nation on the FM air waves while serving the Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley and Orange County area 24-7.

In the beginning of 1990, the United States was slowly adapting to an alternative style of Electronic Dance Music which was thriving in underground dance clubs in the Los Angeles area. At this time, Jeff was fortunate enough to work at a popular record shop in Hollywood, California supplying club/underground DJs the latest dance tracks to date. In 1994, Jeff opened up his own record shop and label with a colleague located 40 miles south in Orange County, California and would remain in business in one way, shape or form for 16 years.  

In 1997, Simply Jeff received his first recording contract from an indie record label based out of Los Angeles with a name suitability called, “City of Angels” (also prior home of The Crystal Method, Uberzone and Elite Force). Jeff would continue to release popular dance singles such as "My Planet" and "Godzilla Funk" to releasing top selling dance compilations such as the "Funk-Da-Fried" series which has received worldwide acclaim. 

Simply Jeff's evolving style of Funky Breaks accompanied by the funky sounds of House and Techno has taken Jeff to perform on stages around the world. Simply Jeff has also appeared as an authority figure in major films, television shows, live cast and documentaries on the subject of Electronic Dance Music over years.

Simply Jeff has evolved once again as an artist and dance music enthusiast. This has ultimately drove Jeff’s passion and life mission to share, inspire and educate the next generation of Electronic Dance Music artist and enthusiast around the world.  In the summer of 2019, Jeff released his first dance single in 9 years called "Sister Valentine" featured on the album compilation "Beyond the Stars" (a tribute to the late great Skylab 2000).

RIPEcast Guest Mix DJ Dan

I started making this mix series 11 years ago to celebrate my birthday and DJ anniversary.  After a short break, I am pleased to bring the tradition back to life with Twenty-Two, celebrating my 50th birthday and 22 years of DJing. I usually set a lot of rules for programming these studio mixes but I let that all go for this mix and just chose what moved me. I hope it moves you too! I found the album cover quite fitting, which was taken at my 40th at the first ShOOnanigans 10 years ago! 

I am excited to celebrate my 50th at Public Works SF on Sat 7/19! We have one of my favorite producers, Aylen, headlining along with special guests and my long-time friends Dulce Vita (Opulent Temple), Haute Mess (Brass Tax), and Nugz (Dusty Rhino). Space Cowboys DJs 8ball, Deckard, gLover, Kapt'n Kirk, Leyl Master Black, Rumblemunk, and your truly, will be shaking up the club on both floors and Maculate and Vizual Nektar will be on visuals!

Skip the FOMO, and get your tickets today!

📻 Off the Record | Cutters Choice Radio | Vinyl-Only Breakbeat Set | August 2025 📻

Last night’s wax attack was a proper blast a la past — energy from start to finish. Armed with the battered Technics camo record box and zero plan, we pulled the trigger on another crate-digging joyride through classic breaks, wonky basslines, and overlooked dancefloor damage. 
🔊 PLAY IT LOUD. Pretend it’s 2003.

Rabbit Radio Episode Four goes back to a Bunny set at Countdown NYE

RABBIT RADIO EPISODE FOUR

A peak-time one-hour set recorded live at the Burning Man Denver Decompression event (2025), performed as Elite Force aka Simon Shackleton.

This mix has a raw intensity to it – genre-crossing with driving basslines, twisted grooves, and cinematic edges – designed for full throttle lift-off. 

It was such a fun night to be a part of. I've been part of the extended Burning Man community for over 15 years now and it's always an honour to share what I do with so many beautiful, creative souls.

For the inside scoop on future events, pop-up sets, tracklists and more, join the Discord over at: https://discord.gg/5GaPYNeejS where you can also score a download of this mix.

You can catch me in San Francisco on 08 NOV 2025 and in Boulder, Colorado on 22 NOV 2025 playing open-to-close sets.

Elite Force (aka Simon Shackleton) - Live at Denver Decompression - 2025-10-04

In 2011, a well-known politician made a bid to be a well-known political party's candidate for president of a well-known nation.  The bid failed, but not before said candidate released a little-known but oh-so-powerful press statement.  A well-known news satire TV show hired a well-known actor for a dramatic reading of said statement.  This track is the result.
