Simon Shackleton (known for his groundbreaking work as Lunatic Calm and Elite Force) has just released his most personal and cinematic project to date, The Shadowmaker. This new single, part of an upcoming album set for early 2025, delivers dark, atmospheric soundscapes, evocative vocals, and introspective themes. Blending influences from Nine Inch Nails, Massive Attack, Radiohead, and Billie Eilish, Simon captures emotional depth and sonic innovation in a bold departure from his previous electronic work. With over 30 years in the industry, Simon’s legacy is undeniable. He’s performed at iconic festivals like Glastonbury and Burning Man, collaborated with Thom Yorke, Moby, and Fatboy Slim, and contributed music to films such as The Matrix. Under aliases like Lunatic Calm, Elite Force, and Zodiac Cartel, he has shaped the electronic music landscape since 1997. Now, Simon’s focus has shifted to creating music that is more cinematic and emotionally resonant. The Shadowmaker marks the start of a new era—an exploration of human shadows and transformation, pushing boundaries once again. With a full album coming in early 2025, this next chapter promises to be his most compelling yet.
