Skull Disco co-conspirator Shackleton crafted this shuffling, dubby remix for veteran IDM trio To Rococo Rot‘s (pictured above) recently released Forwardness Fridays EP. The original track comes from the outfit’s latest for Domino, Speculation, and actually closed out that record’s 10 tracks. Shackleton’s rework doesn’t sound too far from the atmospheric vibes and pattering rhythms of To Rococo Rot’s own production work, but regardless, there’s a certain je ne sais quoi that exists within the clicking beats and thick bass melodies that is obviously his own. The eight-minute tune was released alongside the album version of “Forwardness” and a remix of that track by Traversable Wormhole, all of which you can get ahold of here.

Harmonia & Eno – Sometimes in Autumn (Shackleton Remix)

Why did you choose Perlon to put the album out? Was this always the plan before the record was written?

I like Zip and trust him. I like Perlon’s approach generally. There’s no hype and the emphasis is on the music. I had a lot of tracks and asked Zip if he liked any of them. He said that he liked quite a few. I was pleased about that as I wasn’t too confident. He chose the ones he liked best and then I had a listen and then tweaked them a bit.

Your recent live sets have seen you play a little slower than before. Is that the same case with the material on Three EPs?

Well, some of the tracks are slower, some aren’t. I suppose that the major difference is not speed but style. They aren’t so dance floor orientated.

Are there any artists in particular that have been influencing your work of late?

My finger is hardly on the pulse of modern music as you know! I have been buying a lot of stuff that Honest Jon’s is putting out these days.

Do you ever think you’ll run your own label again, or is Skull Disco the final nail in the coffin in that respect?

I don’t honestly know. If so, it would have to be something worthwhile with fresh ideas.

You’ve been getting to grips with playing live over the past couple of years. Are the performances something that has fed back into the tracks on the record?

Yes, actually it has.

There’s currently a rich sea of artists residing in Berlin. Are any future collaborations on the cards?

I have already worked together with Jürgen Böttcher (Strawalde).

Is there any reason why the record is called Three EPs? Was the original plan to release each vinyl separately?

This is because I don’t see it as an album. Album seems a bit over the top and would do well to have a concept behind it. With this I just like the tunes and hope that others will too.
