He is putting out the best Dubstep - in the true sense - LP in years to be fair.

You think any more about doing a small vinyl run blackdown? Played as god intended and all that

This Dutch Ad Agency Thinks Dubstep Can Stop Human Trafficking (this is the actual article headline, not mine...)

Belgian ad agency Duval Guillaume Modem has taken a nontraditional route to promote Stop the Traffik's anti-human trafficking campaign.

DBM had female dancers in lingerie line the windows of Amsterdam's red light district to dance for intrigued tourists and cat-calling johns. At the end (which makes the window-laden brothel seem like that house in Skrillex's Christmas lightshow) a haunting message is displayed: "Every year, thousands of women are promised a dance career in Western Europe. They end up here."

That got everyone to stop whistling.

The video makes Ashton Kutcher's kitchy anti-human trafficking ad campaign, which featured Justin Timberlake shaving with a chainsaw and announcing that "real men" don't buy women, look lazy.

Shackleton talking about his new LP/Boxset, great how it just turned up at journalists doors with no explanation lol

http://www.factmag.com/2012/04/23/yes-a-proper-album-shackleton-explains-new-release/

“For those who want to know the background, it is something like this. I bought an Italian drawbar organ module around two years ago. Apparently Italian organs from that period had a bad reputation but I was so happy with it that it appeared on most of the tracks I had been working on. I thought I had an album together and was supposed to get it mastered on the day after the mastering session for the Pinch and Shackleton release on Honest Jons (sometime towards the end of Summer 2011). I had also been working on a 12″ of more spacious music to go with that album as a limited vinyl 12″. By the time that I finished the music though, the tracks for that 12″ became so long for that I couldn’t contain them to two sides of a vinyl. This is what became [the] Music For The Quiet Hour album.

“In the end we didn’t get time to finish the mastering on that day in late Summer 2011 and for one reason or another the date got pushed back three months. Then there was the artwork. There was a lot to do and that took a long time to finish. On top of that I then moved house and studio. To cut a long story short, these things stacked up to a six months or so delay in the release. In the meantime I listened back to the whole 2 hours plus of music a few times and it struck me that Music For The Quiet Hour was an album (yes, a proper album) to be listened to all the way through, whilst the drawbar organ tracks were better suited to 12″ releases. Hence the format you have in front of you. A proposed 12″ that actually turned out to be an album and a proposed album that turned out to be a series of 12″s.

“In short, there is some new music from me. It’s generally bass heavy and percussive with an involved narrative. Some people will like it and some people won’t. I think that it is quite different to music I have released before, I suspect that other people won’t.

“Many thanks to musical contributors Andreas Gerth and Kingsuk Biswas. Many thanks as well to Zeke who has done wonderful artwork again and Vengeance Tenfold who has provided great vocals and also the superb letter that proved to be a big inspiration for both the artwork booklet and the music from Music For The Quiet Hour (Part 4 is based on a letter he wrote to his granddaughter who lives in the year 2065). Many thanks to all the people who have supported over the years. I hope that you enjoy the music and only ask that you do not put it on the internet.”

Superb, I love me some Shackleton. In other news, Skrillex is mentioned in this month's issue of Viz. I read Viz and I don't care who knows it
 
Do not understand the appeal of Shackleton at all. That last LP with Pinch is some of the driest, funkless, tuneless, witless, useless music ever recorded. At its very best it only succeeds in sounding like a frantically autistic typewriter falling down a rubbish chute.

I fucking hate shackleton but I'm too lazy to take it out of the multi CD changer in my clapped out motor, so it keeps turning up and making the southern half of the M1 even duller than it actually is.

Fuck Shackleton, unless he's Ernest.

I won't be so harsh as you are but I do agree with you that I never really understood all the praise Shackleton got, it's pretty dull stuff IMO too.
