Hi Guys 

I hope you are well 

So here is my first full blown podcast, I think It's a good example of my taste and what I am about, I managed to squeeze in an interview with a good friend Micah Black (From Black & Blunt) while he was in the UK although I had had a few drinks so it was a bit sloppy to say the least (I will work on my interviewing techniques ;-) 

I intend to do these Podcasts as regular as I can and although it doesn't sound it it really was a fair bit of work, but I did enjoy doing it and I have already started the next one.

If your interested in getting involved somehow please email me on Mark@loweringthetone.london and put in the subject LTT please, it's the promo that really needs some work so If you can please share the link leave a comment and give it a little push where ever you can it would really help me getting this show off the ground.

All the best

Meat Katie 'Lowering the Tone' EP 1 (With a Micah Black Interview)

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 [BMN003] - Simon Shackleton - One Playa Sunrise @ Nutz Camp - Burning Man 2103

It's not often you get to throw a proper party at your own place. 

Forcefields was exactly that - an invite-only weekend on my little farm tucked away in the South East (UK) far away from the madding crowds.

This year, post-Burning Man re-entry has been harder than ever before, so burying myself in 18-hours a day graft to make this happen in a way I'd be happy with was the perfect way to ameliorate my way back to the default world.

Everyone who came was perfectly respectful, and most people participated, contributed and thoroughly enjoyed the unique nature of the event. Those who were able, helped create a truly magical kingdom for the night, and it's certainly one I'll never forget, regardless of how long I find myself living in this place.

My set that night began deep as darkness fell, and as the bar emptied, I rather surprised myself by rocking out for the last hour. Most unexpected ... but that's the beauty of DJ'ing, right?

Much <3

SpectraSoul - Play The Fool ft Jamie Jooste

Hi Guys

I hope life is treating you all well,

Firstly I would like to thank you for all the great feedback for the 1st show it's obviously a fair bit of work putting it together and I'm producing it 100% myself so your comments are extremely valued. 

So here is the second episode of 'Lowering the Tone', this time I roped in Mr Dylan Rhymes for a chat and who as ever is life & soul of the party. 

As always your comments are appreciated so don't be shy, if you enjoy the show any help with promoting/spreading the word by simply sharing the link or tweeting about it would be really helpful as I do need help getting this off the ground.

If you want a track listing to the show please go to www.loweringthetone.london and 'subscribe' to the mailing list & you will receive a newsletter with full details of the show.

All the best 

Mark (Meat Katie)

This new mix showcases the sound I hear in my head when I think about a beautiful hybrid of breakbeat, techno and electro. It's also representative of the kind of Elite Force sets you'll hear from me in the live arena, as I return to the fray in 2023 after a four-year absence!

To craft a mix that had the exact feel I was looking for, I used 24 tracks in some shape or form, pulling many of them apart, rearranging them and adding liberal ly from my own extensive sample library. This set includes 11 Elite Force VIP edits, several acapellas / acidapellas and lashings of breakbeat-techno-electro love.

2023. I'm coming for you.

Elite Force (aka Simon Shackleton) - DJ Mix Feb 2023

An incredible day was had by all in Budapest in late May on the Cruisin / Be Massive 20th Anniversary Boat Party on the Danube. 

My great friend (and amazing DJ/Producer) Metha invited me to celebrate Be Massive's anniversary and the brief was ... 'please play some classics from across the years as well as some new stuff - and we'd love to hear a little Zodiac Cartel too'.

This is the result. 
900 people. 
Nothing but the best vibes.

For 2023 bookings, please contact lesley (at) iamcru (dot) com
Much love,
Simon

Elite Force (aka Simon Shackleton) - Budapest 2023 - Be Massive 20 Party

This is my set from the Beats 4 Love Festival which took place at Dolní Vítkovice in Ostrava, Czech Republic, in the summer of 2023.

Since I returned to the fray in 2023, I've been using Ableton and a number of controllers to create my sets and am loving the flexibility it gives me to do deeper dives into edits, overdubs, mashups and mixes. It wasn't uncommon during this set to have four or five audio channels running simultaneously. I hope you enjoy the ride!

Forbookings, please contact lesley (at) iamcru (dot) com
Much love,
Simon

Elite Force (aka Simon Shackleton) - Beats For Love Festival 2023

This set was first performed on January 1st 2024 in San Francisco at the Breakfast of Champions block party on the Space Cowboys main stage.

A RE:CONSTRUCTED set is a *long* way removed from a standard DJ set. It's a live/hybrid set.

Simon takes hundreds of tracks from his huge library, painstakingly deconstructs them (using Ai if needed to separate elements from the original tracks), and then pieces everything back together to create a hugely emotive and immersive musical story.

He uses Ableton Live and multiple controllers to trigger up to 16 individual channels of audio at any one time during the performance, and also performs live keyboard overdubs. The end result is a hugely addictive, compulsive and compelling blend of music that's often new, often familiar but always utterly unique.

Hope you enjoy the ride.
xoxo

Strut proudly presents the first definitive retrospective of two of the most influential names in Chicago house music: Cajmere and the seminal <a href="http://www.cajual.com/">Cajual Records</a> imprint. Here we offer one of the classics collected on the release, "Chit Chat," produced by Cajmere (born Curtis Jones, later known as Green Velvet). Originally released in 1992, Jones recalls that "Chit Chat always makes me think of Tony Humphries because he showed that song so much love. It’s really because of him that the song became as popular as it did.”

<i>Only 4 U: The Sound Of Cajmere And Cajual Records 1992 - 2012</i> will be released October 30th on double CD, double LP, and digital download.

Simon Shackleton Live @ Distrikt, Burning Man 2012

Beginning in the Summer of 2012 with his Low End Theory guest spots, DJ Shadow's "All Basses Covered" set has morphed and evolved to incorporate as many different contemporary genres of urban and electronic music as possible. From hardcore rap to footwork and juke and beyond, Shadow has combed the web to curate seamless and dexterous blends of the most progressive sounds bubbling up from the underground.  'Too hard?' 'Too future?' Or just too raw? As always, DJ Shadow has provoked crucial flashpoints of discussion about the discipline of DJ'ing that have defined our turbulent times.  -DJShadow.com Team

Solid Steel in association with Serato (4th January) It's 2013 and we're celebrating 25 years of 'The Broadest Beats' on Solid Steel. But first we take a look at where it all began, before Solid Steel even started. 
On the pirate station Kiss FM in the mid to late eighties Matt Black and Jon More both had separate shows, we hear clips from both and then as they joined forces in 1988 prior to Kiss shutting down whilst applying for legal status at the end of the year.

To start with we scan the airwaves through various London Pirate Stations of the time, landing at Kiss 94 FM to hear Matt Black's  Mastermix Dance Party dropping exclusive Coldcut tracks for the first time and music from the emerging House scene. Jon More takes over with the Meltdown Party playing 'new' releases from The Beastie Boys, Eric B & Rakim and Adrian Sherwood plus the original version of 'The Only Way Is Up' that they later covered with Yazz and took to the top of the charts.

Then we hear them together for their last show on the Pirate Kiss 94 FM whilst waiting for a licence. Music comes from Kraftwerk plus a Todd Terry workout and, as they say goodbye, we hear a farewell from Kiss founder Gordon Mac and the announcement of a new commercial station for London...

You can see a documentary about Kiss FM from its pirate roots, through applying to become a legal station, to the launch here http://vimeo.com/45893966
