Four years since the last original Elite Force release, Simon Shackleton reignites his breakbeat alter ego with ‘Burning’. As part of the breakbeat movement, he has been immersed in expanding his creative world with ‘The Shadowmaker’ – his album of introspective electronica and immersive multimedia live show.
A pulsing, stuttering kick drives the track forward, with a drilling, distorted bassline beneath shards of metallic percussion. His control of tension builds pressure that breaks in waves, while the sleazy, feverish vocal is a homage to a golden-era disco doyen.
Simon Shackleton: “After spending the past 18 months deep in the introspective world of ‘The Shadowmaker’, I needed something raw, primal and alive. ‘Burning’ is that spark – the sound of fire finding its heat again.”
