Door84 & Dialogue present Shackleton (LIVE)

DOOR 84 & DIALOGUE RECORDS ARE PROUD TO PRESENT SHACKLETON (UK) (LIVE)

One of the most original and critically lauded voices in electronic music, Shackleton has moved from the depths of the early 2000s dubstep underground to a diverse range of international collaborations and commissions in the last decade.

After honing his hypnotic beats on the cult UK record label Skull Disco, his unique rhythmic touch is now heard on some of the most adventurous and progressive projects that have emerged from the European dance scene in recent years.

Sam Shackleton was born in Lancashire in England and is currently based in Berlin. After spending his teenage years listening to punk and noise, by the early 2000s he was part of the scene around London club FWD>>, ground zero of the early dubstep scene.

Alongside fellow producer Appleblim, he founded the short lived but highly influential dance music label Skull Disco, whose punk ethos and dark humour brought a new complexity and depth to post-millennial British dance music.

2007 saw a memorable link up between Skull Disco and Euro dance music polymath Ricardo Villalobos, whose 18 minute remix of Shackleton’s “Blood On My Hands” was one of the most talked-about tracks of the year. Shackleton himself has become a sought-after remixer, with credits including Harmonia & Brian Eno, Simian Mobile Disco, Kasai Allstars and Pole. Shackleton’s 2010 Fabric 55 mix album is notable for being one of the rare editions in that series to be entirely composed of the artist’s own work.

By the 2010s, Shackleton was performing at numerous festivals across Europe with feet in both the club scene (at Bloc and Freerotation) and the world of experimental music (at Numusic and Incubate). The decade has seen him explore his Powerplant project, an ambitious commission for live percussion ensemble, and embark upon a new collaboration Tunes Of Negation, which sees him team up with multi-instrumentalists Heather Leigh, Takumi Motokawa and Raphael Meinhart. It continues a history of collaboration that has seen him nurture longstanding relationships with vocalist Vengeance Tenfold and visual artist Zeke Clough. His international connections include record labels such as Fabric, Perlon, Honest Jon’s and DDS, while he continues to run his own idiosyncratic imprint Woe To The Septic Heart!

Shackleton’s work today continues to explore conceptual and spiritual themes with an emotional depth beyond most artists working in European dance music today, and his visions of inner space, apocalypse and dread are more timely than ever before. 

We took a few shots at the Vivid dartboard, glad this one hit
