It appears a new Shackleton release is coming out soon. The record will feature Deadman, one of the tracks from the Fabric mix last year, alongside a "Death Dub" remix by King Midas Sound. The cover seemingly shows a sort of tree-like growth spreading across a street scene. Anyhow, according to Piccadilly Records, the release will be one of two to come out on February 14.
This is what they have to say about it on their site:
"Sam Shackleton stalks deeper into the sub-loaded unknown, with the first of two Valentine's Day releases for Honest Jon's.
Retrieved from his celebrated Fabric mix-CD, "Deadman" is signature Shackleton, turning paradox and paranoia into dancefloor fire. It comes straight at you: rolling, dread techno of breathtaking heat and humidity, spurred by hectoring congas and thick-set subs, amidst a teeming soundscape of drones, field recordings and oblique vocal textures, like missed messages and garbled warnings. Nimble yet drop-forge-heavy, sensuous yet punitive, wide-open yet occluded, on the move yet unnervingly rooted.
Kevin Martin adopts his King Midas Sound guise for an expansive remix which reveals his lineage in noise, industrial and isolationist ambient. He fillets and cools Shackleton's production, building a corona of crackle, with stirring strings. Hitomi's singing taps the melancholy latent in the mischief and menace of the original. A muffled bass and tripping syncopation nods to Rhythm & Sound - but "Death Dub" is its own beast, fully realized, daring and affecting."
