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 :)

The One Series [DEN009] - Simon Shackleton - Denver

06. Pistolero (Bombay Dub Orchestra remix)

lol algorithms

i'm a bit of a curator connoisseur
of the decadent depraved with a dash of andy tate
trying to tell me to get laid and i need a billion buildings
otherwise i'll be a failure and i'll be up in my feelings
i got callouses up on my thumb from all my scrolling
and my wrist is getting tired from this phone i keep on holding
(fuck it) baby keep it rolling mama didn't raise no quitter
i can feed my algorithm while i bang the babysitter

i got gangstalkers filling up my home page -
i got hackers on here talking about 0days
i got a lady smoking methamphetamine out of her pipe
got a deepfake of the president created by the right -
and i've been getting ads for these shirts to hide my tummy
but i look down at my belly and i don't see nothing funny -
ima keep it swiping i'm addicted i'm a fiend
it's my ADHD medicine presented on a screen

i built this shit brick by brick -
give the algorithm one more click
only one more reel til i get my fix
then it's on to the next platform on my list

another goth baddie on my explore tab
dressed in lingerie trying to get me to her page
bitch i'm trying to get laid i don't need all of these steps
and i know your boyfriend reading all your DMs and your texts
pages and pages i'm scrolling through these asians
falling down the elevator shaft into the basement
hey i like your car what do you do for a living?
i do a bunch of different things to keep this vehicle, pimpin

they tell me to buy real estate they tell me to rent it -
they tell me every woman is a slut and defend it
they tell me stay independent because a major is danger
and they'll be blowing up your spot like it's a hezbollah pager
i feel like everything i'm getting fed is garbage to kill me
at least it keep me entertained because it's garbage ya feel me
fuck it, touch the app again and resume the process
oh look it's a new yorker and he's selling some watches! uh

ytcracker - brick by brick

Dicepticon - Comet Ride

dicepticon - dead start

I’m fluent in code, not conversation,
Built my world in isolation.
Screens are my solace, bytes are my friends,
Social norms feel like bugs I can’t amend.

But then there’s you, like a flash of light,
A glitch in my system, a spark in the night.
Thought I could rewrite, debug my ways,
But the voices in my head, they betrayed.

I rehearsed every line, I mapped every plan,
But circuits shorted when you took a stand.
The words dissolved, my courage erased,
And I retreated to my digital space.

"Hello" was a battlefield, fought in my mind,
Waging war with myself, a chance left behind.
You’ll never know, the scars that I bear,
Fought for you in silence, but you weren’t aware.

Your smile’s an algorithm I can’t decode,
Your laugh’s a frequency I’ll never upload.
I tried to simulate bravery in my core,
But my social software crashed to the floor.

I saw the future, the paths we’d explore,
But my fear built walls, I slammed every door.
In my head, you’d hate this awkward machine,
A heart full of glitches you’d never have seen.

I debugged my thoughts, recompiled my dream,
But the noise in my chest tore at every seam.
I wanted to run, to reboot, to retry,
But my courage was caught in an endless loop, why?

"Hello" was a battlefield, fought in my mind,
Waging war with myself, a chance left behind.
You’ll never know, the scars that I bear,
Fought for you in silence, but you weren’t aware.

The clash of voices, the storm of doubt,
A thousand whispers, all screaming out.
They said, “You’re not enough, just let it be,”
So I retreated to my code, my sanctuary.

And you, you walked on, blissfully free,
Never knowing the war that was fought in me.
I dreamed of a world where we’d intertwine,
But that world isn’t yours, it’s exclusively mine.

"Hello" was a battlefield, fought in my mind,
Waging war with myself, a chance left behind.
You’ll never know, the scars that I bear,
Fought for you in silence, but you weren’t aware.

So I’ll stay here, where I belong,
In the hum of machines, in the code of a song.
You’ll move on, and I’ll be just fine,
A battle forgotten, a memory that’s mine.

fact - the feds be making cases off of loose lipping 
not computer chipping agencies just catching people slipping
game is to be sold not to be told this internet is pimping
you would think it was a given but these hackers tripping (tripping)
youngins ima school ya all these things they say to fool ya
theyre your friends theyre here to help ya here to melt ya alka seltzer 
once them agents get you talking promise charges that they dropping
if you promise to co op them the attorneys start flip flopping -
guarantee your placement lock your ass up in the basement
put your friends up in interrogation make em read your statement
then they fabricate discrepancies embellish on your story
now your boys are filling in the blanks accusing you of glory
so

(hey hey what do you say)
you dont say a thing plead the fifth all day
(who who what you gon do)
you will use that phone call to hit your crew
(hee hee what do you see)
if you dont see a warrant then get set free
(ho ho what do you know)
i dont know a thing officer let me go

fact - if you dont give em anything to go on
and your crew dont say a word about the capers you been pulling
they cant prove that you were sitting in the chair when all that hacking happened 
claim entrapment claim a misconfigured server cabinet
wireless stay open for the guests - and encryptions broken
all the people in my squad keep the faith like kenneth copeland
vpn to bounce you when your client go announce you
build them layers of abstraction when youre turning up the action
proxies are like condoms use em once then switch up on em
if you keep position quantum they cant trace you to the bottom
stack that tor and stack that telegram - ladders of alprazolam
cool under that pressure when them agents come to get ya
steady hand steady plan - keep the work off instagram
keep a kill switch on your LAN in case you run into a jam
rules are simple follow them retain a lawyer call on him
and silence still the golden rule bitch - dont be foolish

Heyhey

ytcracker - plead the fifth
