Hi everyone. I’m in one of those moods where I’ve lost motivation a bit as sometimes putting mixes up without being enmeshed in a local scene (& I never have been) feels a bit like screaming into the void. But here’s one I’ve just uploaded that I did a couple of months ago at the beginning of lockdown when everything felt a bit apocalyptic. Which as those of you who know Shackleton’s music will know, works quite well with his tunes. I’m hoping to get back on the horse and do some more upbeat mixes soon. At least one garage mix before the summer’s out hopefully.
"Another mix as tribute to one of my favourite producers, initially known for dubstep but who quickly started making uncategorisable strange mystical psychedelic music. I was going to wait until a darker time of year to put this out as some of it is quite moody, but I’m finding the heat oppressive so I think it’ll work ok now.
Shackleton is well known for doing Ableton DJ sets of entirely his own productions, and as they conjure up such a unique sound world I think they work best together (even though they can work very well in other contexts). So this is my attempt at doing a mostly-Shackleton mix, with a few bits from his Skull Disco labelmate Appleblim and affiliated artists like T++ and Peverelist."
