SIMON SHACKLETON - DJ Mixes

Another Essential Mix from 2003 was from another Nu Skool Breaks legend Adam Freeland. Pretty much the height of his career at this time with so many tunes under his belt from his label Marine Parade and so many bootlegs under different alias's it was a healthy time for the breaks scene and much loved by all.

This mix was aired on BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix from Adam Freeland back in 2003.

Adam Freeland - Essential Mix - 11.5.2003

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!

Forbookings, please contact lesley (at) iamcru (dot) com
Much love,
Simon

Beats For Love Festival 2023

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.

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.

Breakbeat Breakfast Reconstructed - Jan 2024

This week in The Armory we're thrilled to be featuring this live recording of our good buddy, Lee Coombs, from the Opulent Temple sound camp on Monday night at Burning Man this year. Press play. Get down.

Checkout Lee's brand new album, Keleidoscope, at:

http://tinyurl.com/leecoombs-kaleidoscope. 

British-born Lee Coombs has been involved in the music industry since 1989, when he got his start at acid house parties in London and Cambridge. He went on to run several of his own labels including the legendary Thrust Recordings and collaborate with some of the most respected artists and producers in the world, combining breaks, house, electro, techno, and acid to create groundbreaking mixes in his own signature style. Coombs is a talented and innovative fan-favorite around the world, whether he’s releasing music through his own Thrust label or as part of the Lot49 team, or mesmerizing massive audiences filling dance floors from Australia to Burning Man. 2014 has been a busy year for Coombs! The massive single ‘Lilly in the Sky’ remained up the top of the Beatport charts for many months and has gone on to be one of the biggest selling Breaks tracks of 2014. Next up is the eagerly awaited new artist Album ‘Kaleidoscope’. Collaborating with up and coming Uber producer Kostas G, they have created a musical journey into the mind, traveling through Breaks, Tech House and blissed out Downtempo moments designed to move your body and soul.

Simon Shackleton presents - Sacred Dance Reconstructed - Seattle 2024

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.
