Artist:	SHACKLETON
Title:	I Want To Eat You
Label:	MORDANT MUSIC (UK)
Format:	10"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MORDANT 014EP

Limited repress of this 2006 release. "Big Sam Shackleton (Skull Disco) is back with another dark n' grimey platter. It was clever-clogs Baron Mordant who first released Shackleton's first volley, 'Stalker' on a branded one-sided 7". Shackleton has since gone on to set up his own Skull Disco imprint which has to date released five plates of low-end woe to unanimous fanfare. The Mordant gang chip the keeper on the flip with with a beast of a track that blends '70s German sequencers and the dubstep doorstep. As ever with this label it's top quality and limited."

Title:	El Din (Part One)/Olde Wobbly
Label:	MORDANT MUSIC (UK)
Format:	10"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MORDANT 024EP

"Mordant Music spore the shellac once again on 10" vinyl with staunch cohort Sam Shackleton. This will be the third missile from the Nesst involving ol' bones himself with a further one already teed up. 'El Din (Part One)' on the A unfurls in classic Shackleton fashion deploying his compulsive percussive lure followed by the eventual spilling over of bass and swirling atmospheres for which he is renowned. 'El Din (Part One)' throws a blanket over your head from behind and spins you off into the dunes. Over on the AA, Mordant Music continue to chart the uneasy rave wake of 'Hummdrumm' with the descending sequencer labyrinth of 'Olde Wobbly.' This claustrophobic ode to stifled corners in densely packed clubs is filled with strange tunings and forlorn fanfares. One for the wrong moment. Stay perched for the next installment."

Title:	Shackleton Remixes
Label:	SCAPE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	SCAPE 055EP

In collaboration with Skull Disco, ~scape releases two tracks off the Sam Shackleton full-length CD, which includes remixes by Pole (only available on ~scape) and Peverelist. Shackleton's maverick take on big bass lines and complex beats isn't easy to categorize, and that's how it's going to stay. Shackleton has been carving out his own brand of eclecticism on Skull Disco releases so far with intricate, snaking percussion, hypnotic melodies, seriously deep bass lines and dubwise sensibilities.

Title:	New Dawn/Massacre
Label:	SCUBA (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	SCUBA 005EP

2006 release, repressed! "Shackleton has been carving his own niche in the dubstep scene with seminal releases on Mordant Music and his own Skull Disco imprint. With techno legend Ricardo Villalobos showing a strong interest in this mercurial talent, he's begun to emerge from the shadows recently. These are two typical Shackleton cuts, with impossibly heavy bass, intricate percussion and a pounding beat. He's always threatening to stop making dubstep, it's a good job he always changes his mind..."

Title:	Soundboy's Nuts Get Ground Up Proper EP
Label:	SKULL DISCO (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	SKULL 003EP

"Shackleton's tracks have been getting a caning from the likes of Kode 9 and N Type on Rinse FM, through to the likes of Rob da Bank on Radio One and also on XFM, and at raves such as DMZ and Subloaded. Shackleton and his Skull Disco partner, Appleblim, along with top drawer rave master Necta Selecta, have been playing at various venues this year, from their own Skull Disco parties where they, along with Digital Mystiks, smashed it up in legendary style, through to Manchester with Vex'd and Bristol."

Title:	Soundboy's Suicide Note
Label:	SKULL DISCO (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	SKULL 010EP

"Shackleton continues to push the musical envelope, reaching beyond the realms of dubstep into some dark fissure of future dread history. Drawing from a familiar palette of beats and bass, 'The Rope Tightens...' scatters rambling paranoiac poetry across a rushing moonscape soundstage, reprised in the brooding storm of '...But The Branch Is Weak.' 'In the Void' adds dashes of ethnic strings to color the darkness slightly, and 'Shortwave' finishes up with a rolling barrage of percussion, subs and icy gusts."
