Starting off as a musician and being a band member with Thom Yorke (Radiohead) before moving onto his own outfit called Lunatic Calm which had quite a successful career and a few number one tunes including "Rollercoaster". Simon has also worked with a bunch of top musical acts, remixed, wrote movie soundtracks, toured and was one to watch in the Nuskool Breaks scene. He then developed the Tech Funk genre in the late 2000's included with such artists as Meat Katie and Dylan Rhymes to name a few.

Elite Force - Triple J Mixup - 1.5.2004

Throwback to 2004 and the legendary ‘Fuzzy Breaks’ parties in Sydney! To be honest I thought the guys were crazy for trying to take breaks to a bigger stage like the Metro in Sydney. But those parties blew up and before long the guys had expanded to the Hordern Pavillion which was wild! I’ll be honest, I don’t actually remember this party (Fuzzy Winter Breaks 2004 at the Hordern Pavillion) ha ha but thankfully I have an extremely rare live recording of my set from this party which you can peep right here! I was quite fond of the flanger back then as you will see! Ha ha! Enjoy! RIP MC Conrad X

Big love to @oldbreaksmixes for the set!

Elite Force - Beatfactor Promo Mix December 2004

Im pleased to give you Episode 18 of the Lowering The Tone podcast. 

This time round I had the pleasure to sit down with Ant Wilson Aka 'Chicago Loop' and have an in-depth chat about starting your career again from scratch, life after the London Acid Techno scene and naming himself after a ring road in America.

As I have mentioned before these are not so much of an interview more of just a laid back conversation that veers off in all directions, thats is the charm though IMO, listening back to this one I think it will appeal to DJ’s who wish (and do) travel because Ant is a well seasoned DJ who has some great stories of his on the road experiences around the globe, I found his story petty inspiring I hope you do to.

As you should expect by now I explore many genres mix wise but keeping it Techy based. As promised in the show I will bring back the ‘Deeper Selection’ next episode.

So if you enjoy the show could I please ask you to share the link, Re-tweet, Re-post, Like, Comment, Rate & Review  … (you get the idea :-) 

I hope you like it, talk soon

With the world in partial lockdown, this 1-hour LIVE set was specially curated and performed in June 2020 to celebrate Glastonbury 2020 for my friends at the legendary GLADE stage.

I used 8 Ableton decks, 6 channels of live keyboard overdubs, an APC40, Launchkey 61 and 4 full days of my time to lovingly piece this one together. 

If anyone's able to correctly identify each component part of this mix, I'll send you my entire record collection. Muah!!

Simon Shackleton - Glade Stage Glasthomebury Live Set 2020

Electronic music trailblazers THE CRYSTAL METHOD. 

New album the trip out is out now! https://linktr.ee/thecrystalmethod

Throughout the past two decades, the musical landscape has continually merged, morphed, and matrixed, fractured in countless directions while intersecting at the most unexpected points.  Electronic music underwent a renaissance in the aughts, rising out of the warehouses and blank spaces and overtaking the biggest festival fields in the world. THE CRYSTAL METHOD followed a similar trajectory since their formation in 1993. The Grammy Award®-nominated, platinum-certified trailblazing duo—Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland—set the stage for the genre-mashing electronic sounds that fuel the current zeitgeist.

"Community Service Radio w/ The Crystal Method" is on SiriusXM’s - Electric Area (Ch. 52).  Catch new episodes on Mondays at 9pm ET and repeats on Wednesdays at Midnight ET.  Shows originate from the East Coast and air simultaneously in all time zones.

Listen to Community Service Radio by The Crystal Method on iTunes podcast or Mixcloud.
