This new mix showcases the sound I hear in my head when I think about a beautiful hybrid of breakbeat, techno and electro. It's also representative of the kind of Elite Force sets you'll hear from me in the live arena, as I return to the fray in 2023 after a four-year absence!

To craft a mix that had the exact feel I was looking for, I used 24 tracks in some shape or form, pulling many of them apart, rearranging them and adding liberal ly from my own extensive sample library. This set includes 11 Elite Force VIP edits, several acapellas / acidapellas and lashings of breakbeat-techno-electro love.

2023. I'm coming for you.

Elite Force (aka Simon Shackleton) - DJ Mix Feb 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.

A RE:CONSTRUCTED set is a *long* way removed from a standard DJ set. It's a live/hybrid set.

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.

Hope you enjoy the ride.
xoxo

Durga Trident Vajra

Based in Bristol, Ekto a.k.a. @erst-dj is a producer & DJ that takes the sounds of 90s rave and hardcore and twists them into new shapes - his productions can take influence from anything from the dubbed out grooves of bleep techno to full throttle jungle breakbeat chaos. In collaboration with @hartta, “The Happy Hardcore Hit of the Summer” takes the euphoric fairground stabs and diva vocals of happy hardcore, and sends them in a darker direction.

Out now on streaming platforms + available for download as part of “The Grooveyard: Volume 2” on cassette tape and digital format ⛓️
