SIMON SHACKLETON - DJ Mixes

Evil Nine are an English DJ/Producer duo comprising of members Tom Beaufoy and Patrick Pardy. Gaining recognition after signing to Adam Freelands label Marine Parade in the early 2000's their unique sound gathered a high following and had a very influential effect in the early Nuskool Breaks scene as well as early influences on the later Tech Funk genre.

This mix is from 2004 was made for Australia's Triple J Radio and it's Saturday night weekly show Mix Up.

Evil Nine - Triple J Mix Up - 2.10.2004

This two-hour mix was inspired by my many visits to Black Rock Desert and is a twisty cross-genre journey designed to encapsulate the spirit of my One Series sets (without the 7-hour commitment!).

As always, I hope you enjoy the ride and I appreciate you sharing the link far & wide... and if you're heading to the Burn please accept a dusty aural hug from afar.

Much <3
Simon

August 2023 Mixtape

This is my set from the Beats 4 Love Festival which took place at Dolní Vítkovice in Ostrava, Czech Republic, in the summer of 2023.

Since I returned to the fray in 2023, I've been using Ableton and a number of controllers to create my sets and am loving the flexibility it gives me to do deeper dives into edits, overdubs, mashups and mixes. It wasn't uncommon during this set to have four or five audio channels running simultaneously. I hope you enjoy the ride!

Much love,

A RE:CONSTRUCTED set is a *long* way removed from a standard DJ set. Here's how it works.

Simon takes hundreds of tracks from his huge library, painstakingly deconstructs them (using Ai if needed to separate elements from the original tracks), and then pieces everything back together to create a hugely emotive and immersive musical story.

He uses Ableton Live and multiple controllers to trigger up to 16 individual channels of audio at any one time during the performance, and also performs live keyboard overdubs. The end result is a hugely addictive, compulsive and compelling blend of music that's often new, often familiar but always utterly unique.

This is storytelling on a giant canvas, and in 2024 we will be adding visuals and further live instrumentation to these RE:CONSTRUCTED sets.

Simon Shackleton presents Futureshock - Sci-Fi Re:Constructed - Denver, November 2023

This set was first performed on January 1st 2024 in San Francisco at the Breakfast of Champions block party on the Space Cowboys main stage.

Thanks for all the love on this set 🙏 Out of it came a full track — Bell Tolls (Revamped).

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.

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!

Decoded Magazine presents Simon Shackleton

A deep dive into the subconscious, Acid Memories drifts between dream and distortion — where lush downtempo textures collide with hazy synth lines and hypnotic rhythms.

Built on slow-burning grooves, warm analog pulses, and a touch of acid-tinged nostalgia, the track paints an atmosphere that’s both meditative and haunting. It feels like wandering through blurred recollections — half-remembered nights, fleeting moments, and emotions suspended in time.

This is not just a track — it’s a sonic memory, dissolving into echoes and shadows, leaving you suspended in its afterglow.
