@ The Shelter – 5 YongFu Lu

Co-conspirator of the infamous Skull Disco, along-side Appleblim, Shackleton’s maverick take on big basslines and complex beats doesn’t fit easily in to any category. Thundering bass, tribal rhythms, snaking percussion, hypnotic melodies and dubwise sensibilities, his sound is like no other. Taking influences from the UK’s dubstep sound, Berlin’s techno expertise and drum and percussion rhythms from every corner of the globe, Shackleton produces a sound which is hard to describe but even harder to resist.

2012’s The Draw Bar Organ EP’s/Music For The Quiet Hour was some of his most inspired and groundbreaking work to date, and his new live show has taken his sound to a whole other level. Shackleton rarely travels, but his last 2 shows at The Shelter (2011 & 2010) made such an impact that he has agreed to come back once more with a brand new live show. Special guest support from Downstate (live).

This month’s deadly poster was designed by Shanghai’s Twin Horizon.

We know you are probably as excited as us for the return of the mighty SHACKLETON this Friday, but if not heres a live set he did for Mary Anne Hobbs farewell show last year on BBC Radio 1. If you have even the slightest interest in electronic music, rhythms, bass or just good music then make sure you get down to The Shelter this Friday. A Shackleton set is not just dance music, its an experience! Let’s get tribal!

Friday 25th November – Sub-Culture 4 Year Anniversary Pt 1 – Shackleton (live)

Line Up: Shackleton (live), Drunk Monk, dji, Steven Lorenz, Didje + guests

Entrance: 60rmb

For the last 4 years Sub-Culture has been bringing some of the most interesting and forward thinking acts that Shanghai has experienced. To celebrate our 4th year in Shanghai we are excited to bring 2 of our favorite artists back to Shanghai, one in November and one in December. For part one of the celebrations we are very excited to bring back one of the best acts ever to play at Sub-Culture – SHACKLETON!

Co-conspirator of the infamous Skull Disco, along-side Appleblim, Shackleton’s maverick take on big basslines and complex beats doesn’t fit easily in to any category. Thundering bass, tribal rhythms, snaking percussion, hypnotic melodies and dubwise sensibilities, his sound is like no other. Taking influences from the UK’s dubstep sound, Berlin’s techno expertise and drum and percussion rhythms from every corner of the globe, Shackleton produces a sound which is hard to describe but even harder to resist. Very rarely leaving Europe, this is a very special opportunity to experience one of Shackleton’s amazing live sets! If you saw him last time we know you will be here this time, and if you missed it make sure you don’t miss out twice!
