Errr, these tunes are sick!
While we can say very little for the amount of information and level of contact we've had with the man, whenever we see 'Elite Force' in our inbox we know a pretty nice serving of dub and breaks is about to bestow itself upon us. Our best job of piecing information together would suggest that Simon Shackleton, aka Elite Force, kicked off a record label (Fused And Bruised Records) which nurtured his DJ and production career in its early stages, helping him personally to prosper onto bigger and better labels and eventually landed himself on his own platform - U&A Recordings. If that's a correct, albeit very brief, summary of his career - we've done well and so has he. Anyway, since we've filled you in on a little bit of history we'll give you some tracks, or re-fix's, so you can put a sound-to-a-face and see what your tastes think of his jacked up style. Included is 'Strongarm Sessions 2' (August) which is a compilation mix CD done by Elite Force that features a bunch of his very own and U&A Recordings releases.
Benga - 26 Basslines (Elite Force Re-Fix)
Datsik - Retreat (Elite Force Re-Fix)
Bar 9 - Shaolin Style (Elite Force Re-Fix)
Strongarm Sessions #2 (mixed by Elite Force - August 2009)
