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.

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

Elite Force - Summer Festival 2024 (Sevilla)

These sets at the Nutz camp have grown organically in the 5 years I have been doing them for, and have been the catalyst for a sea of change in my own personal musical appreciation. They've shown and encouraged me to dig deep into electronic music, looking for a spiritual dimension ... they have stretched me mentally and physically, and in doing so I see myself leaving my past behind in all it's forms.

They have also encouraged and enthused me to produce music under my real name (Simon Shackleton), to launch the Stereophoenix label which is now my primary recording outlet, and to launch and develop The One Series, a vehicle for further long sets such as these.

Burning Man is pure, raw, inspiration. Each year is very different and you get the Burn you need rather than the Burn you want. This year was my personal favourite of the 6 I've been to ... it was beautiful, intimate, inspiring, passionate, flawless ... and as my heart & soul moves further away from the EDM-heavy festival stages of the night time, I feel more engaged than ever before with this music, and more importantly this incredible sense of community that Burning Man engenders.

The Nutz epitomise everything I <3 about the Burn. Roll on 2015. xoxo

Acid Pauli Boiler Room Tulum DJ Set

The thing I love most about Burning Man is no matter how much you think you've prepared, you still never really know what to expect. The uncertainty, the excitement, the apprehension, and sometimes even the fear of what's just around the corner is what keeps so many of us coming back every year with a renewed childlike wonder - a feeling that seems to slip away as we get older. Sometimes everything goes right, and sometimes things just go wrong. 2014 was a mixed bag for me with some high highs (spending time with amazing people, getting to DJ in the best place in the world, seeing some incredible forms of expression) and low lows (namely falling hard on my back off of a see-saw putting me in constant pain for the entire week - it even hurt to laugh!)...but at the end of the day, I got exactly what I bargained for and couldn't ask for anything more: I experienced the unexpected.

In contrast to the previous two years on the bus, this year I played first on Friday night and took a little sonic stroll around different sounds and moods to open the night before Bedouin beautifully escalated the night into proper party mode...Pardon any sloppy mixing, we can just blame that on my aching back :)

Thanks to everyone who was there early in the night to catch my set, and thanks to everyone listening at home, Robot Heart, and Dr Burridge for the continued support over the years...Having the opportunity to do what I do is such a great gift from all of you.

THE MORNING AFTER… Manic Monday, as it were. This was my first time getting into some post-Burning Man revelry.  It’s as weird & wonky as you can imagine, as we let it all hang out one last time with dust-crusted brains and even crustier DJ gear.  Perfect really…    x
