About Simon Shackleton –

Simon Shackleton’s visionary and emotive blends of sound and groove are the culmination of his remarkable career as a composer, musician, and DJ.

Simon’s impressive resume features iconic music compositions for film, television, and commercials coupled with an acute understanding of music production in all forms. He creates music that moves giant sound systems and dance floors while also ensuring compatibility with handheld devices.

As a sought-after composer, Simon has created music-to-picture for major Hollywood movies, including The Matrix and Spiderman, and video games like Motorstorm and FIFA. He’s also a master of sound design for immersive installations and VR environments, having developed his own algorithmic program to generate music.

He is currently preparing for a series of European shows in 2023 and developing an immersive live experience called “State of Flux,” set to debut in 2024.
