Tech-funk breakshead Elite Force tours Australia and New Zealand in November.
Elite Force is breaks DJ and producer Simon Shackleton best known for releases such as 'Mindfunkpsychedelic' and 'Ghetto Fabulous' on labels like Whole 9 Yards, Kingsize, Fuised and Bruised, 10 Kilo and Adrift. This month he released his second album 'Modern: Primitive' which features 4/4, breaks, downbeat and vocal numbers. In his student days, Shackleton also used to be in a band called Headless Chicken with Thom Yorke.
