Today i heard in my dream a sick unreleased shackleton tune
lay off the zomby twitter for a while mate.
did he say that? i dont have twitter
he only says things like that. you should read it from time to time, itās funny now and then.
yeah thatās very zomby-esk
I hope those kowton tweets are truth, amazing.
Not sure what to make of Ryan not liking Shackelton
I think thereās some truth in there, although I read he passed it to him at a club wearing a Skull Disco hoodie. Slightly less dramatic.
yeah iām not sure where iāve read it. it was an interview with either appleblim or shackleton. said they were wearing skull disco shirts/hoodies w/e at a night villalobos was djing - since he was playing shackleton tunes around that time. he recognized it and they gave him a cd or smth
here it is:
The story began when Laurie Osborne from dubstep consortium Ammunition, who produces as Appleblim, saw that Villalobos was putting āBlood On My Handsā at the top of his charts in magazines. Then in September 2006 all three were at Bestival. āI asked Shack to give me the parts of the track, and my intention was to hassle Ricardo and see what he thought,ā says Laurie. āTrouble was, our wristbands didnāt allow us backstage, so I grabbed my trusty Skull Disco hoodie, got down the very front of the Big Top dance tent where Villalobos was gonna play, and waited right up against the railings. At last he turned up, and while he was getting ready, I started waving this CDR about, pointing at the Skull Disco skeleton on my hoodie and shouting āRicardo! Ricardo!ā like some demented fan! After a bit he noticed, hopped down to the barriers, gave me and Shack a big hug, and proceeded to open his set with āTin Foil Skyā by Shack pitched down to -4.ā
Shackleton himself is delighted it worked out so well with Villalobos, who has now gone on to remix āMidnight Request Lineā too. āThe blokeās just into music. He loves the Skull Disco stuff and we really appreciate that. One day we might even collaborate more directly.ā He thinks āBlood On My Handsā may have such broad appeal simply because he didnāt make it with dubstep in mind. āI donāt know much about different genres of electronic music so I canāt say which buttons Iām pressing for any particular crowd. I know that if I started to make music for a specific genre then Iād lose that creativity.ā

think it was an ra feature originally but i canāt find it
Wait what? This some well guarded secret?
well he used to play the og iirc so it makes sense i guess. would have been sick if it happened/came out
Yeah that would be an instacop, no need to even preview it
Just listened to the new (old) shackletonā¦ sounds hugeā¦ not Ā£20 huge tho.
how is his live set lately? probably no one else Iāve wanted to see more and itās finally happening soon
anyone reaching this - http://www.berlin-atonal.com/
iāll be about saturday and sunday if anyone want to skateboard and drink beers in the day
Wish I was going to that, insane lineup!
Shackleton has a new live show called Powerplant, which has got me proper excited.
His sets are unbelievable enough as it is, so yeah, really intrigued and hyped about that. Wonder what exactly is gonna be different about the set.
Heās doing it in London too in October.
Going to this is October, Ā£22 early bird tho jhhheeezz
Ninja Tune announce a series of events in London and Amsterdam this Autumn. King Midas Sound x Christian Fennesz, collaborators on a forthcoming full-length for the label this year, are joined by Dean Blunt (of Hype Williams) and Shackleton (presenting his new live show, Powerplant) in October at St John-at-Hackney.
Nice, will be my first time seeing Shackleton live
Looking forward. Need to find some hidden corner where I can have a little dance though.
Also, seeing Shackleton was/is my top FWD>> night.
