Simon Shackleton

Simon Shackleton is a British electronic music producer and DJ best known for his genre-blurring work under aliases like Elite Force and as part of the 1990s act Lunatic Calm (remember that "Leave You Far Behind" banger from *The Matrix* soundtrack?). With a career spanning decades, he’s carved out a reputation for crafting dark, cinematic beats that mash up breakbeat, electro, and industrial textures. His recent releases—like *The Shadowmaker* and *House of Mirrors*—showcase his knack for moody, atmospheric production, often peppered with hypnotic basslines and eerie samples. Shackleton’s also a remix wizard, as heard in his "Reconstructed" versions of tracks, which rework originals into sprawling, club-ready journeys. When he’s not producing, he’s likely tearing up dancefloors with his DJ sets or curating cutting-edge sounds through his label U&A Recordings. Still pushing boundaries, he remains a low-key legend in the underground electronic scene.
