It’s been three years since I last created an Elite Force DJ mix. While my focus has recently turned to my Simon Shackleton output, there’s been a nagging desire to create something a little tougher from some of the great breakbeat and techno that’s being made at the moment.

May The Force Be With You.

Elite Force (aka Simon Shackleton) - DJ Mix Oct 2022

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.

DJ Mes is our special guest on the Space Cowboys RIPEcast this week. DJ Mes delivered an unforgettable night at Wiggle Room, spinning a masterclass in jackin’ house. From deep grooves to high-energy crowd shakers, the dance floor was locked in from start to finish. Toronto showed up—and showed out. From the opening beat to the closing drop, DJ Mes seamlessly blended classic throwbacks with fresh cuts, creating a hypnotic soundscape for late‑night revelers. If you were there, you know. If you missed it... Don’t make that mistake twice.

Simon Shackleton, Elite Force - Pop-Up Set - Cheesman Park, Denver - 2025-09-28

This is my set from Off The Grid Campout 10.11.2025

8pm Saturday Night - OTG Stage

Off The Grid 2025

This was the final One Series show in a 5-year run of events that began at Cellspace in San Francisco back in 2012. 

These sets gave me a much-needed chance to breathe and to branch out from the peaktime headline shows I'd been playing for many years. They allowed me time to spread my wings musically and explore different tempos and different flavours and tell a story from cover to cover. They inspired me and kept me going at a time when I was deeply disillusioned by electronic music's move into the bubblegum candy-pop of the supersized McRave. 

I believe that music has the power to affect people deeply and that it can be felt on a spiritual level, and during these sets I always felt that connection profoundly. I'm proud of what I achieved with them and that a beautiful legacy remains.

This particular set had to be reconstructed from 2/3rds of the way through as the recorder malfunctioned, but I didn't want to leave the Final One unarchived, so here it is in all of it's 6-hours of glory.

Much love and a massive thank you to all the thousands of people who have supported me in this journey.
xoxo

Meat Katie 'Lowering The Tone’ Podcast - Episode 23 (Exclusive Classic Breakbeat & Tech-Funk Mix)

Twin Turbo kicks off 2013 with an EP of club-rocking house-jackers from Scottish prodigies Clouds.

Following a year that saw their critical stature soar and made fans of a growing legion of techno stars (Chris Liebing and Gary Beck both named "Consciousness" the top track of 2012), Clouds take a break from their maturation process to crank out a few knee-jerk tracks built for the masses, each crafted around a catchy hip-hop inflected vocal hook. 

"Terrorcore" will scare the living sweat out of you with a deadly parade of monstrous toms and vocal sample that will force you to work through your cash-flow anxiety on the dancefloor. "Local Bubble" is the housiest, funkiest thing Clouds have ever done, a supremely playable record that will surely find a crossover audience. Finally, "HE_1523_0901", pumps the bass up with Clouds's signature distorted kickdrum sound, a minimal arrangement with more clever vocal cuts.

Twin Turbo - starting the new year with new bombs for a new generation of party people, some of whom are too young to remember when we invented high-energy dance music back in 2011.

Twin Turbo Volume One

Terrorcore

Proper techno roller with an unmistakable and unsuspected classico bang in the midst of it all ...
