Elite Force is back!
Be Massive's 20th Anniversary was so successful that it needs to be repeated :) Missing the breaks!
One of the icons of breakbeat, Elite Force is back in Budapest - with a special, two-faced set. The first half of the evening will feature unadulterated old school breakbeat energies, followed by an exclusive, one-hour tech-funk set with a fresh, crunchy, modern sound.
Behind Elite Force is Simon Shackleton, a defining figure in the English electronic music scene. He has been active as a producer, DJ and composer for over 30 years, and has become known under legendary alter egos such as Elite Force, Lunatic Calm and Zodiac Cartel. His music has also appeared in films and video games - including in the cult scenes of The Matrix.
Shackleton earned a master's degree in classical composition from the University of Exeter, and his work uniquely combines technical club sound with a deeper, cinematic atmosphere. His style is often compared to the world of Massive Attack, UNKLE and Trent Reznor.
Over the years he has worked with artists such as Thom Yorke (Radiohead), Moby and Fatboy Slim, and has performed at festivals such as Glastonbury and Burning Man. More recently, under his own name and with his project The Shadowmaker, he has opened up in a more emotional, cinematic direction, while maintaining his club roots.
This evening is a pure homage to the past of breakbeat, while also showcasing its present and future.
