Simon Shackelton - Elite Force

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.

THE ONE SERIES MIXES

SShackleton

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.

The One Series [LON006] - Simon Shackleton - London (pt.2)

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.

Simon Shackleton - Live In Perth - Boat Party (Jan 14)

Ice Breakers Ball has become an institution for those of us who live in San Francisco and love breaks. It was an honor to be invited by my good friends, the Janky Barge, once again to play the eighth renewal of Ice Breakers this year. Big thanks to Robbie Kowal, Steve Kirchner and to all my Janky friends for having me. And last but not least, thanks to the legendary DJ Icey for coming out to San Francisco to grace the decks at Ice Breakers again this year. Happy 2014, Everyone! 

As a member and resident of Space Cowboys, DJ Zach Moore spins events from San Francisco to the Black Rock Desert to New York City and beyond. Zach has played epic, sold-out events like Outside Lands, Burning Man, Treasure Island Music Festival, Lightning in a Bottle, PEX Summer Fest, GhostShip and the legendary Breakfast of Champions. These days, Zach's live sets are mostly packed with party rockin' breaks, but his love of electronic music starts with house and spans many of the subgenres, including deep, vocal, tech, progressive, and electro. Zach is also known as the creator of The Armory Podcast and for his work on The RIPEcast, the Space Cowboys' Breakspoll-nominated, electronic music podcast.

Simon Shackleton aka Elite Force Exclusive May 2014 DJ Mix on Voorhaft Web Noise

Another truly EPIC Sold Out Boat Party on the Thames ... simply one of the best nights of the year!

Thanks to all who came & shook their stuff, and to Gower Preston, Ben Child, Craig Whitaker, and the team of Distrikt DJs (Kramer, Ben Seagren and Darren Grayson) for helping us bring the heat for the 5th year running.

Elite Force - Live At The London Boat Party (July 14)

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).

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

The One Series [DEN014] - Simon Shackleton - Denver

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.

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

The One Series [SFO022] - Simon Shackleton - Publicworks, San Francisco

Following up his recently-released remixes of Scuba's single 'The Hope' on Hotflush, Plangent Records boss Recondite returns to the label, this time with a solo 12" titled DRGN / Wist 365. Recalling some of the moodiest moments from 'On Acid', his recent LP devoted to the sounds of the 303, this debut shows Recondite stay true to his somber and tension-inducing roots.

'DRGN', the sonic equivalent to traversing a bleak end-of-times landscape, is a journey replete with a relentless, melodic sub-bass and vibrating synth; on the flip Recondite gives the 9-minute long 'Wist 365' a drum workout, resulting in a progressive, menacing groove, awash with wind chimes and 808 claps.
Release date: October 1st 2012

Darling Farah - Body Remixed Sampler

This is a partial recording of an amazing morning I had in Vegas this summer at my good friend Andrea's birthday bash. A whole bunch of reprobates from legendary West Coast crews (Space Cowboys, Distrikt, The Nutz) took over the Artisan hotel for two full days and nights. Reprehensible behaviour clearly followed with Andrea taking the lead on her newly 'acquired' mobility scooter.

I took to the decks around 4am, 'fresh' from having played at DefCon, a giant hacker's convention in one of the big casino hotels. I was playing off a (borrowed) USB stick for the first time, and amongst the shenanigans unfolding was me loading up a few more tracks off my laptop whenever we ran out and hot-swapping the decks as we rolled into the next day.

It's unclear how long I played for, as this is just an excerpt of the set which randomly dropped in my mailbox several months later, but I figured it'd be nice to have for posterity for those who were there ... and for the mildly curious, of course.
