A new track from Simon Shackleton and a mix for free download. But you may know him better as the man behind Elite Force. The new track is Ten10. He explains that the title is about his mother " I'm so proud of this track that's been released today on Beatport ... probably more so than anything else I've written in the past 20 years. I titled it 'Ten102 after my mother's birthday (she passed away 13 years ago now), purely because it felt 'special' and it felt somehow worthy of a dedication to her memory ." This [...]

This has been out a few weeks, so not sure why it's taken me this long to post. No matter. It's a new, big, bad breaks tune from Elite Force. He's got a really interesting release package and there's even a free download. The track is really filthy, scuzzy breaks, with a great sample and huge beats. There's even and acid feeling to it all. Best played loud. Very loud. The track's been released in a really interesting way. It's got it's own Gamechanger website, through which you can get the free download. There's also digital [...]
In an essay posted to his Facebook last week that garnered much hype , Simon Shackleton (Elite Force) pinpoints the mainstreaming of "the McMusic of EDM" and the effect it has had on the overall product. More specifically, he articulates: The music itself has quickly veered towards the binary – POP HOOK – air punch – MASSIVE BASS – air punch – SYNTH HOOK – air punch - REPEAT. To work on that scale, the dynamics have changed. Dumbed down for added directness, to unite the enormous numbers as one – terrace chant vocals [...]
On the cusp of a truly epic career spanning decades, Elite Force has a new release out, a single called “Gamechanger.” Funny coincidence because this release definitely is a game-changer as far as singles go these days… it’s not just another mp3 download. Simon is releasing it as a “PROPACK.” The ProPack, which includes both mixes as wavs PLUS 27 DJ-friendly audio stems of the track as wavs , is only 5 British Pounds. The MP3 of "Gamechanger" is a free download. For more detailed and personal insight into [...]
NoisePorn Interview: ELITE FORCE Simon Shackleton. What a name. You gotta love a guy named Simon. Well, we love Simon Shackleton. Probably has something to do with the fact that he makes amazing music as his various artist monikers, has had so many different career experiences and successes over the years, and he's simply an all-around fantastic guy. On the cusp of a truly epic career spanning decades, Elite Force has a new release coming up in a few days, a single [...]

A little something loud and yet funky to start the weekend from Elite Force. Albeit that I'd have to be hooked up to the mains to get mine started. Free download. Yesterday I launched a new monthly online show United & Anarchic which goes out on PulseRadio every third Thursday of the month. It's a great chance to put together a 1-hour mix featuring some of the latest bits of come out of the studio as well as some current faves (and the odd classic) and I hope you enjoy soundtracking your weekend with it.

Here's something seriously cool from Simon Shackleton (aka Elite Force). This is one of those sprawling monsters of a tune. Think My Private Psychadelic Reel or some of Weatherall's wilder moments. And for you, it's a free download. This has all the bass you'd expect from Elite Force but with a scuzzy dub undertow. This is the sound of quaaludes, a fistful of shrooms and a slug of JD. Has samples which come on like early Death in Vegas (think Dirt). It's Balearic but on a seriously bad trip. Masterful. Blurb: To celebrate the launch [...]

Well I'm not one for introductions. And I know you all aren't here to listen to me banter about my eclectic taste for music and how I am gonna wow you with my posts (which is highly doubtful anyway). I'm just gonna be one more voice to add to this discussion. Here's a track you can go punch your wall to. I've been following Far Too Loud for a while now. His remix of "Hey Boy Hey Girl" was the starting point, but any track/remix I've heard since has not dissapointed. The sound is heavy and [...]
Stream: Elite Force - “Live at Nutz camp at Burning Man 2012” Here’s a four-hour set from Burning Man 2012 from the one and only Elite Force. Get sunny.
Tags: Elite Force Burning Man Black Rock City The sunrise sets at the Nutz camp have become something of an institution during my annual pilgrimages to Burning Man. As per usual they come after a number of days burnt out in the desert on sleepless nights, untold stimulants and with a mind blown from excess stimulation and inspired by being surrounded by hundreds of beautiful, passionate people. This year's set followed on from a fire [...]

Before I start this post, I want to apologize for the lack of posts lately, I was at Burning Man over the past 10 days without internet, but now I'm back and have so much great music to post about, so let's get right down to it. It was about this time last year that Excision released "X-Rated" that really pushed him into the limelight of dubstep. Fast forward a year and we have the 11-track remix from some of the biggest and heaviest producers in the dubstep, electro house and drum & bass genres such as Lucky Date, Far [...]
![EXCISION – X Rated (The Remixes) [Mau5trap]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4489653_lg.jpg)
Always preferred and never ever overtly favoured, Mau5trap’s home of chosen wonders and global seekers, sets the pace frantically with our Canadian “pointy horn” producer / DJ named Excision . Supported by several world class producers and outstanding programmers, the likes of High Rankin, Far Too Loud, Xilent and Elite Force all dawn down on this 11-track tack hammer of trounce. Slaughtering all dangerous perils and imaginative bunny-wabbit moments to one side.. Excision and these acts of electronic steel lay down the Smack - and sweep up the generic dominions magnificently.
