Formerly running the Skull Disco label together with Appleblim, Sam Shackleton has been a tremendous influence on the world of dubstep within recent years. Having moved to Berlin (from London), he has been one of the driving forces in crossing the worlds of dubstep, techno and experimental music with releases on Honest Jon's Records and his own Woe To The Septic Heart imprint.

A crowning achievement for Shackleton. This is the next best thing to seeing the man live, which is a religious experience to say the least. Wow!

One of the most anticipated instalments of the Fabric series to date, Shackleton's 'fabric 55' was guaranteed to be something special from the outset. Ever since his move to Berlin Shackleton has been refining his style, evolving his unique sound that fuses dubstep, minimalism and primal rhythms.
His recent outings, such as his triple EP for Perlon or his epic remix of Moderat's 'Rusty Nails', should have tipped us off to the fact that something exceptional was brewing in Shackleton's kitchen, but the sheer primal force and energy of 'fabric 55' still comes as a surprise.
Consisting solely of Shackleton's own tracks the album is essentially a 75 minute live set, summing up the past 3 years of Shackleton's creative output. Previous highlights like 'Death Is Not Final' from his Skull Disco phase or 'Moon Over Joseph's Burial' off his Perlon release make an appearance, as do exclusives like 'Hypno Angel' or 'Busted Spirit', as well as the first tracks from his simultaneously launched label, Woe To The Septic Heart.
Rarely has an album's track list been so completely beside the point however. Shackleton strips, layers and condenses his source material into a tightly orchestrated opus magnum. Its minimalistic passages alternate with outbursts of percussion and tribal chants, creating an atmosphere of constant, griping tension. With 'fabric 55' Shackleton has delivered a manifesto of his personal style and one of the most powerful works of electronic music we have heard all year.

The monthly album special selected by the ByteFM editors is now available for 9,99 ? only.
That's what we call Xmas... If you like your dubstep producers to namecheck Throbbing Gristle and Black Sabbath as their early influences, Sam Shackleton. is your man. Actually more...
