why is this track so unbelievably good , i was literally amazed when i heard this great job guys !!! this is next to the master piece of Beethovans' "Fur Elise"  ok i might have over done it but great job is my point

Thinking back to this epic show and epic night!

That bruno though... as soon as we heard the horns we knew the place was going to lose their sh*t

What a rager of a show. From open to close. Disco ball shirt with a yoyo guy, circus performers on the hoop, dude running along the back of a couch, and the venue was killer. one of those spotweld moments in time. one of many at a Simon show.

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 2013

The very first edition of The One Series took place on 10th November 2012 at Inner Mission / Cellspace in San Francisco in conjunction with Stereophoenix, Vau de Vire Society and DISTRIKT.

The One Series is all about taking music out of the clubs and into the extraordinary, with each event in the series featuring One Room, One DJ, All Night. Our goal is to tell stories in fabulous environments with amazing people.

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)

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

Budapest 2023 - Be Massive 20 Party

A RE:CONSTRUCTED set is a *long* way removed from a standard DJ set. Here's how it works.

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.

This is storytelling on a giant canvas, and in 2024 we will be adding visuals and further live instrumentation to these RE:CONSTRUCTED sets.

RIPEcast Guest Mix DJ Dan

DJ Mes is our special guest on the Space Cowboys RIPEcast this week. DJ Mes delivered an unforgettable night at Wiggle Room, spinning a masterclass in jackin’ house. From deep grooves to high-energy crowd shakers, the dance floor was locked in from start to finish. Toronto showed up—and showed out. From the opening beat to the closing drop, DJ Mes seamlessly blended classic throwbacks with fresh cuts, creating a hypnotic soundscape for late‑night revelers. If you were there, you know. If you missed it... Don’t make that mistake twice.

Recorded from the silent disco outside of public works. It was the most backed I'd ever seen it outside with Nurse Noise and WokR on the two channels.
