THE ALBUM
An intimate journey through struggle, resilience, and transformation.
The Shadowmaker is the most personal and cinematic album to date from British composer, producer, and artist Simon Shackleton. Known for igniting dancefloors around the world, Shackleton here shifts the focus inward, blending haunting vocals, emotive electronica, and rich cinematic textures to explore the light and dark within us all.
Written as an act of creative liberation, the album navigates themes of love and loss, vulnerability, and the quiet determination to rise above life’s chaos. Drawing inspiration from artists like Thom Yorke, David Bowie, and UNKLE, The Shadowmaker invites listeners into a deeply human sonic landscape—where broken beats, soaring melodies, and poignant lyrics intertwine.
This is music made not for trends, but for connection.

The Shadowmaker Show by Simon Shackleton and Chele Gutek blends live music, film, and storytelling into an unforgettable experience.
This immersive multimedia performance takes audiences on an emotionally charged journey from the shadows to the light, exploring universal themes of struggle and triumph, fear and joy, love and loss. Created by award-winning producer Simon Shackleton and filmmaker Chele Gutek, the show weaves together live music from Shackleton’s album The Shadowmaker with evocative visuals and personal storytelling.
While Simon’s emotive music is the heartbeat of the show, Chele’s filmmaking adds depth and soul through slivers of archival footage and intimate interviews.
Performing alongside drummer Jez Noble, Shackleton steps out from behind the decks to deliver a raw and powerful set of introspective electronica, drawing echoes of Pink Floyd, Massive Attack, David Bowie, and Thom Yorke.
Premiered at Denver's historic Holiday Theatre, The Shadowmaker Show left a lasting impression—offering a rare fusion of cinematic music, visual art, and heartfelt narrative.
