Shackleton
- Editor's Picks
Shackleton commands colossal basslines and whiplashes of intricate percussion, but his sound is not easily categorized as he carves through dub, dubstep, drum 'n' bass and grime-y rhythms in his marathon sets. Local drum 'n' bass and dub selectors Steve Barker, Dan and Blackie round out the night. RMB50 (presale)-RMB80 (door).

Shackleton + DJ Blackie + Dan (Syndicate) + Steve Barker @ Yugong Yishan
He’s known as one of the biggest names on the global dub scene, but Shackleton's oblique take on big basslines and complex beats with grime and electro influences doesn't fit easily into genre categories.
Taking influences from the UK’s dubstep sound, Berlin’s techno expertise and drum and percussion rhythms from every corner of the globe, Shackleton carves out his own brand of eclecticism with intricate, snaking percussion, hypnotic melodies, seriously deep bass lines and dubwise sensibilities.
He was also the mastermind behind the seminal London dubstep label Skull Disco, known for flying in the face of the rigid dub formula, with African drumming, four-on-the-floor rhythms, and distinctive pen-and-ink album artwork by Zeke Clough.
Shackleton will be joined at Yugong Yishan by local support DJs Steve Barker, Blackie & Dan (Syndicate).
Very rarely leaving Europe, this is a very special opportunity to experience one of Shackleton’s amazing live sets in what will be one of his only performances this side of globe for a very long time!
