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!!

Meat Katie 'Den Of Iniquity'  Late Night DJ Mix (2023)

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

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

A peak-time one-hour set recorded live at the Burning Man Denver Decompression event (2025), performed as Elite Force aka Simon Shackleton.

This mix has a raw intensity to it – genre-crossing with driving basslines, twisted grooves, and cinematic edges – designed for full throttle lift-off. 

It was such a fun night to be a part of. I've been part of the extended Burning Man community for over 15 years now and it's always an honour to share what I do with so many beautiful, creative souls.

For the inside scoop on future events, pop-up sets, tracklists and more, join the Discord over at: https://discord.gg/5GaPYNeejS where you can also score a download of this mix.

You can catch me in San Francisco on 08 NOV 2025 and in Boulder, Colorado on 22 NOV 2025 playing open-to-close sets.

Simon Shackleton – CHPTR 003
Ambient, SloMo, Psychedelic House, Nu Disco, Breaks, Electro, Tech House & Techno

The latest chapter in the CHPTR series took place on Saturday 8th November in San Francisco.
 
Definitely not one I'll forget as we decided to drive there from Denver at the last minute to avoid airport issues during the protracted government shutdown ... a round trip of 2800 miles with some absolutely splendid conversation and scenery en route.

The VOID system in the basement of Monarch was a joy to play on, and the packed house bought the vibes once again as only San Francisco can!

If you'd like to grab a download and full playlist, these will be available from my Simon Shackleton Discord at https://discord.gg/5GaPYNeejS or alternatively you're always welcome to buy me a coffee at https://buymeacoffee.com/simonshackleton and I'll send you the details from there.

As always, thank you for listening, sharing, commenting etc...
