Exquisite night! I'm in for another ONE. Anytime! Anywhere! 🌈💖🎶

The concept was a simple one ... One DJ, One Room, All Night in exceptional surroundings with jaw-dropping visuals (installations, performance etc), decor, and sound all combining to create a unique, fully immersive experience all based around an extraordinary, one-off musical journey.

A big driver of this passion was the simple notion that when it comes to DJaying, it's all about the context - how you set moments up, how you create curves in your sets, of the peaks and the troughs, the deliberate breathers, the space to listen, to move, to engage with the sounds on a deeper level. It's how you present a track that makes it grow, that makes it hit home much harder than it could ever do in isolation. If we lose those skills, and people become disassociated with the concept of movement and context in a set, we wind up with what we're edging ever closer towards - a monochrome landscape of brick wall noise where there's no scope for growth, for exploration, for creativity.

Electronic music with heart and soul.

FUNKYDESERTBREAKS2 2024 REMASTER

We bought some real heat to Denver in this, the 9th edition of the epic One Series parties. Working alongside The Fantastic Hosts and The Whomp Truck, we created a completely immersive experience at a warehouse space within City Hall.

The five-hour set (one of the shortest One Series to date) flew by, and once again I am hugely proud of the results. I hope you enjoy listening back as much as I enjoyed performing :)

FABRICLIVE - Stanton Warriors - recorded live from fabric

Call it a late Valentine's Day mix. The world's had me thinking about Orwell's 1984 lately, about Thought Crime, the war between Oceania and Eurasia, about Winston and Julia, and (spoiler) about Winston's final surrender in room 101 at the Ministry of Love. 

With all that in mind, here's a 3+hr set of electro infused beats. And remember... Big Brother IS Watching!

8ball - Ministry of Love (Electro) - Feb 2025

This set has been in development for a long time. Originally arranged for 2024 campout season, it was shelved for nearly a year. More tracks were acquired and integrated in 2025, abd a bunch that were originally in didn't make the final cut. I've been taking some time off from DJing while learning to play guitar and pursue other creative outlets, but I felt the inspiration to dust off the decks and finally get this set finished. I'm pleased with how it turned out and I hope you enjoy it! If you do, drop a <3, repost and follow me. I'll try to not let an entire year go by before the next recording gets published! 

Straight from Oakland

Episode Three takes us to some tracks we loved to play on our DJ tour with The Crystal Method. Full of bass and energy enjoy!


Rabbit in the Moon brings you a monthly show of current beats they love and timeless classics that take you back to the beginnings of the rave movement. Turn on, tune in, and jump around like a big'ol jack rabbit Bunny...

RABBIT RADIO EPISODE THREE

I’ve been sitting on this way too long. In 2024, I attended Sunsets and Shadows @sunsets-shadows and met so many people who are now my Reno family. Fast forward to 2025 summer and I was asked to play the first sunrise. The assignment: “deep dark and groovy” is the sound of the event. But 6am. So I took that as a challenge to create a journey of something that has two layers of deep dark and groovy, and light and optimism. This is one of my favorite sets I’ve done and I hope you enjoy it too!

kev/null - Live at Sunsets and Shadows Chapter 3 (sunrise set)

The first in a new series of spontaneous Pop-Up DJ sets – recorded live in Cheesman Park, Denver.

A fusion of Simon Shackleton & Elite Force styles, blending cinematic grooves with dancefloor energy. The sun was shining, the beats were flowing, and this set captures the raw, human spirit of the moment.

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

Well, that was quite something.

Recovery mode has been initiated and rejuvenation is now complete. I just wanted to say a HUGE heartfelt thank you to every single one of you that came down, felt and shared the heart emoticon and made Saturday's One Series *such* a massive high.

I'd also like to thank The Public Works SF for being a joy to work with, Kevin Zhu from All of it Now for the stunning visual accompaniment, and Mad Dog from the beautiful steampunk stage design.

Let's do it again. Soon!

The One Series [SFO017] - Simon Shackleton - Publicworks San Francisco

The 18th One Series took place in Denver at a brand new annexe to City Hall.

We overcame one or two technical issues with ground loops & power outages in the early stages of the night, but triumphed thanks to all the hundreds of beaming souls who came out to play and made for such an impassioned evening.

A big thank you goes out to all the lighting & sound wizz-kids, and of course my good friends 'Surreal Laser' and 'The Fantastic Hosts'.

Where should I host The One next??

The One Series  [DEN018] - Simon Shackleton - Outpost One, Denver

Another stunning night at Publicworks on the back of *that* election result. I deliberately kept things upbeat and optimistic, which made for one of THE most fun sets I've ever played.

A HUGE heartfelt thank you to every single one of you that came down, felt and shared the love and made this One Series *such* a massive high.

I'd also like to thank PublicWorks and Peter Blick for being a joy to work with, Kevin Zhu from All of it Now for the stunning visual treats, and Mad Dog from the beautiful inter-galactic stage design.

The One Series [SFO020] - Simon Shackleton - Publicworks San Francisco

A low key return to the UK with my only One Series show of the UK in my home country. This was a beautiful, heads down session at the end of a tough year.

The One Series [MAN021] - Simon Shackleton - Joshua Brooks, Manchester

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
