meditation. thanks for your taste. in  listening every mix a'm excited

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!!

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.

– Simon

What's the Skinny?

Producer Gavin Hardkiss delivers a DJ mixtape of 16 songs  written and produced for the Inheritance project.

Inheritance tracks life growing up in South Africa through the '90s Hardkiss San Francisco era to his current multi-genre tastes. The project is a Basquiat-like collage of sounds inherited along the way. Voices heard as a boy through the second floor bedroom window in Johannesburg. Sounds accumulated in dusty warehouses throughout America in the '90s. Collaborations with Nigerian performer Bisi, Kenyan singer Lucinda Karrey, snippets of conversation from Johannesburg and Oakland, alongside Instagram audio grabs. All of it glued and twisted together over a 5 year period in his studio in San Rafael California.


Inheritance will be released as a DJ mixtape on Soundcloud and Youtube.  All the individual songs are available for streaming and purchasing at your favorite digital destination.

Gavin Hardkiss has long been a DJs who skirts genres and always surprises with his hybrid styles and rich textures that fuse modern and classic electronic music influences. Whether you’re into Amapiano, Afrohouse, minimal tech, highlife or breaks, there’s something here for you.

Inheritance Mixtape by Gavin Hardkiss

A deep, cinematic reimagining of Smokestack Blues, rebuilt for late-night journeys and introspective moments on or off the dancefloor.

Blending elements of trip hop, gritty industrial blues, and broken beats, this Reconstructed Dreams Mix keeps the emotional core of the original but pushes it into darker, more expansive territory. For fans of atmospheric electronica with a raw, human edge.

Crafted with care, reworked from the ground up.

“The Urge” by Adam Oland

After a ten year break, Amsterdam based producer and Oland Recordings founder Adam Oland returns with “The Urge” a reflective and powerful reawakening. Known for his emotionally driven soundscapes and progressive roots, Adam delivers a track that feels both timeless and deeply personal.

“The Urge” unfolds through rich melodies, ambient textures, and a steady heartfelt pulse. It is a journey without lyrics crafted by a self taught artist who has always let emotion lead the way. Drawing subtle inspiration from legends like Eric Prydz, Chicane, and Michael Cassette, the track carries Oland’s unmistakable fingerprint: cinematic, honest, and atmospherically profound.

With past support from the likes of Sander Kleinenberg, Miss Nine, and Michael Cassette, Adam’s return is not just nostalgic, it is a reminder of the depth and meaning progressive music can hold.

“The Urge” is more than a title. It is a feeling, a place within, and a long awaited return to sound and self.

WE ARE ONE: https://www.simonshackleton.org/we-are-one
FB GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/weareonemusic

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).

These social events put YOU first, with a High Definition audio stream via Mixlr and additional capacity for up to 100 Zoom video attendees as well as a Twitch stream (future shows will be hosted here on Mixcloud Live).

This set was created using Ableton, an APC40 Controller & a LaunchKey MIDI keyboard, and as such it's as much about on-the-fly live performance as it is about straight-up DJ'ing.

Enjoy!
