Simon Shackleton/Elite force

Well *that* was something else. Truly.

This was the fourth successive year I'd played a sunrise on the Playa with my most excellent friends at the Nutz camp, and this year *everyone* upped the bar. The One Series (my vehicle for DJs to express themselves fully through uber-long sets) effectively sprang out of the love & passion for these ethereal mornings at Burning Man, so it seemed fitting that this would become One Playa Sunrise.

As with every year the sun was shining, everyone wore a vast, passionate smile with wonderful sights & sounds filling the air. We were joined by The Dusty Rhino & Painkiller, along with most of Distrikt. It was the perfect morning.

At the end, six intensely wonderful hours later, I dissolved into tears, not for the first time this week & the dancefloor submerged me. 

I hope it takes you there.

Some friends and I hired a boat in Perth. Tickets sold out in the space of a couple of weeks, and packed to the rafters we cruised the Swanee River in Western Australia under a blood-red setting sun on a perfect summer's evening. 

This is my 3-hour Simon Shackleton set from that night. Recorded 17th January 2014.

Nothing But Dubs Mix(For OKI-NI)

My Elite Force set as performed at Raveart's Summer Festival in Sevilla, Spain, June 29, 2024.

Elite Force - Summer Festival 2024 (Sevilla)

A new chapter of the RONU sound.
Dark, hypnotic techno built on global percussion, sub-heavy drive, and cinematic atmosphere. Each track is a journey — pulsing 4/4 kicks, ancestral log drum echoes, metallic stabs, and haunting drones stretching through infinite warehouse space.

This series fuses Amapiano swing, Durban Gqom weight, and relentless techno pressure — layered with whistles, tribal shakers, and whooshing bass that breathes like an air hangar moving air. Minimal melodies rise and dissolve into haze, while percussion locks bodies into trance.

These aren’t just tracks — they’re rituals. Industrial rhythm fused with ancestral memory. A soundscape made for late-night festivals, underground basements, and movement without end.

RONU signature: cinematic depth, global textures, bass pressure, and percussive grit.

He’s a key focus for Toolroom & Trax as Tony zones in on creating a clear brand for his artistry. He is delivering super playable club music and in turn receives countless support from across the spectrum as one of the scene’s most played artists.

With music locked in on Solid Grooves, Edible and Issues, Tony has been paving a path towards the launch of his own label, House Delivery, set to launch towards the end of the year. Tony Romera is on full power right now.

Burnal Equinox 2019 @ Public Works

The sunrise sets at the Nutz camp have become something of an institution during my annual pilgrimages to Burning Man. 

As per usual they come after a number of days burnt out in the desert on sleepless nights, untold stimulants and with a mind blown from excess stimulation and inspired by being surrounded by hundreds of beautiful, passionate people. 

This year's set followed on from a fire &amp; brimstone throwdown at Opulent Temple and I loved every single minute of it, especially when the 40ft UFO-platform appeared to 'shade' the dancefloor from the heat of the morning, and when during my fifth Bloody Mary of the morning, the BBQ arrived to ply us all with a seemingly endless supply of breakfast goodies.

Look out for more sets similar to this over the coming year as I launch my 'One' series of parties across the globe. Meanwhile your digital hugz are always welcome at http://www.facebook.com/djeliteforce

Simon Shackleton - Live @ Nutz, Burning Man 2012

I was asked to play at a pool party this summer at Q and Aisha's back yard for an Ashram "fundraiser".  Though not totally planned, it became a 4 hour marathon set that started near dusk and went until it went with many groovers enjoying the ride.  I decided to release it as is.  And I expect it to be playing on loop on Q's art car at Burning Man this year.  Hope you enjoy.
