The Aftermath

February tracks

Salim's most excellent bike ride mix

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.

Elite Force Breakspoll Special Mix (March 2011)

Before Claptone returns with a new Single in february he asked us to send you a small Christmas present. It's a thank you for all the love he received in 2013. For your support on his Remixes of the Pet Shop Boys, Riva Starr, George Morel, The Magician and last not least his own tracks 'Wrong' and 'No Eyes'. Though this track was done before Lou Reed died you can view it as Claptone's way to get everyone to remember him and all the great people we lost  in 2013. And now fall under the spell of this exclusive present and let the music take 'Control'

Out on TROUW TRIBUTE LP

„Job Jobse, Barnt , David Hasert - Cologne Megamix

We were very exited to get our hands on ´Cologne megamix´a special collaboration between Job, Barnt and David Hasert. Job hade made a podcast late 2012 and laid Barnt´s Ariola over ´Deep Horst´  by David Hasert, with surprising result. Luckily David Hasert liked the Idea too, giving Job and Barnt the Opportunity to finish it in Arif Malawi´s studio opposite Trouw on the Wibaustreet.“

Applescal - Dark Hearts

'A Matter Of Time' by Alex Banks is released on September 5 and features the vocals of regular collaborator Elizabeth Bernholzn. As is this case with the majority of his album, this a steely and warped cut that uses the serene and emotion-laced voice of Bernholzn to create something extremely hypnotic.

On remix duty is Frank Wiedemann, one half of Innervisions world-conquerers Âme, and he's reworked the track into a venomous acidic roller, one that applies a 4/4 stronghold to the originally staggered and washed-out track. The vocals are intact but coupled with an almighty kick drum and unparalleled drive.

This is pure-fire club ammo and something you should check out immediately.

Premiere: Alex Banks 'A Matter Of Time' Ft. Elizabeth Bernholz (Frank Wiedemann Remix) Radio Edit

Systematic are gearing up to release the 100th EP on the label and who better to take the reigns than Romboy and Bodzin. We have the premiere of the title track and 'Kerberos' is exactly what you'd expect from the titans of techno.

'Kerberos' is a hypnotic and driving cut, one that progresses and builds with precision and underlying menace. Its melodies intertwine from the first beat and it couldn't sum up the Systematic ethos better.

:::Lyrics:::

I didn't understand it at the time. I fail to achieve any degree of understanding in the ensuing years, which are three in number. I presume Herb means that inherently you cannot be commercial and artistic. You cannot be commercial and quality. You cannot be commercial concurrent with have a preoccupation with the level of storytelling that you want to achieve. And this I have to reject. I don't think calling something commercial tags it with a kind of an odious suggestion that it stinks, that it's something raunchy to be ashamed of. I don't think if you say commercial means to be publicly acceptable, what's wrong with that?
As long as you are not ashamed of anything you write if you're a writer, as long as you're not ashamed of anything you perform if you're an actor, and I'm not ashamed of anything.
This is the area I know. But I think innate in what Herb says is the suggestion made by many people that you can't have public acceptance and still be artistic. And, as I said, I have to reject that.

Just two bodies
Just two bodies

I've been so ready to dim my mind

Come over or not, I've 
Been so ready to dim my mind
Your body a drug, for mine
Two bodies moving in
Time and space to try and heal me
I know what I want, so come over and

CHORUS:

Hold me, I won't ask for anything more
I'm hurting, use now when I'm vulnerable
It helps me fake some love for a little while
I know what I want, so take advantage of me 

You're closed, you're a book. No lines
Can't read you if I try
And if that's the way you want it
That's fine I'll just close my eyes and
Try to ignore you, a free ride for you to

Just two bodies
Just two bodies

(CHORUS x3)

Two Bodies feat. Emma Louise (Extended Version)

Down From the Rafters (Huxley Remix)

Building around a set of piano chords, the idea of this track was more about making a space than a clever hook. I got to use a lot of different sampling techniques aswell as doing some outdoor recording of ambience. It's an understated track, so feel free to fill in the missing blanks...



Funkin Matt - Deeper

This set was originally put together for RaveArt's 'Retro Festival' in Southern Spain which primarily focuses on OLD skool breakbeat sounds. On the night, my set was *badly* hampered by major monitoring issues in the booth, so I spent the following day re-creating the mix as I'd intended it to sound.

I hope you enjoy it (there are several unreleased tracks in there you may never have heard before).

New single SWT is a hypnotic slice of chunky house music with a euphoric breakdown ... 

A #1 Single on Juno on Pre-Release and available from all good download stores from 26th January 2015.

"In 2013 the artist formerly known as Elite Force - a trailblazing tech-funk pioneer through the 90's and 2000's - returned under his given name, Simon Shackleton, with a well received foray into Minimal and Tech House territory. Two years on and a string of releases later, he returns to StereoPhoenixwith two more twisted dancefloor bombs. 'Bishoujo' sets the tone, peppering a chugging locked-techno groove, with spooky melodies, EDM effects and gnarly noises. There's a little more dustiness and depth to SWT, which successfully fused a woozy deep house sensibility with Shackleton's trademark tech-funk swing and bump." [Juno Reviews]

After releases on Livity Sound sister label DnuoS YtiviL and Cold Recordings, Batu returns with his own new imprint Timedance. The label is set to offer a platform for hybrids and mutations of UK Techno, and the first release will be launched with a party in Bristol on 20th February, where Batu is joined at the Cavern Club by Beneath and Transient. The release showcases a progression from Batu's first two 12'', with more colour and melody than his previous work, sitting alongside waves of propulsive percussion.

YDID - Nations [Premiere]

The first One Series show of 2015 took place on 23rd May at one of the finest clubs in North America, Beta, in association with awesome local crew, The Fantastic Hosts. The massive 4-stack Funktion One rig is legendary worldwide, and was an absolute thrill to take over for the night.

Beta were an amazing team to work with on the night, with everyone going the extra mile to  make this a truly special one. Special mention goes to Eric Basquez for building me a special touchscreen controller to enable me to show various words and short poems on the big LED screens through the night, which I suspect will be the first stepping stone on the road to live sets as Simon Shackleton that will, all being well, premier at the end of 2015.

Another spectacular One Series show with some inspirational collaborators. I hope you enjoy the mix, which as ever is a warts & all recording of the entire night :)

Much <3
Simon



The One Series [DEN014] - Simon Shackleton - Denver

That was a *truly* unforgettable night in London.

We've had some amazing boat parties over the years, but it felt like there was something particularly special in the air. The transition to a One Series set was *so much fun* for me personally, starting out with some low slung funk & percussive deep house, rolling through the gears with some widescreen tech & bass house and finally bringing home the bacon with an anthemic outburst of classic techno.

I can't thank family and friends enough for being so supportive, so engaged, so welcoming, and so THERE. Such a spectacular, and special night. Thank you all.

With the world in partial lockdown, this 1-hour LIVE set was specially curated and performed in June 2020 to celebrate Glastonbury 2020 for my friends at the legendary GLADE stage.

I used 8 Ableton decks, 6 channels of live keyboard overdubs, an APC40, Launchkey 61 and 4 full days of my time to lovingly piece this one together. 

If anyone's able to correctly identify each component part of this mix, I'll send you my entire record collection. Muah!!
