SIMON SHELDON

UK producer Simon Sheldon has been journeying across musical genres for many years, producing everything from Drum n Bass, Reggae, House and Jazz. His latest album 'The Four of Swords’, hails the launch of his new label The Freebooter Lounge and an exciting new musical chapter for Simon as he explores the world of ambient Electronica.

On arriving to his now home town Belfast, Simon started writing, performing and releasing as Solaris, before forming Drum n Bass outfit Spree, who released tracks on labels such as Aspect Records, Formation, NIR amongst others. A prolific live act, Spree supported the likes of Roni Size, Kosheen, Giles Peterson and Jazzanova and headlined events across Europe, Asia and the USA, as well as playing the highly regarded Jazz World Stage at Glastonbury. As a side project Simon performed a live set supporting the Legendary Lee "Scratch“ Perry, as well as collaborating with Irish Nu-Jazz maestros, Belcrash.

More recently, he has been carving a name for himself in the House Music arena, collaborating with Quentin Kane, together releasing a mix LP and an 18 track LP, ‘Exodus’, on DJ Spen's stella Unquantize label, as well as remixes on labels such as Yoversion and Audiobite. Simon and Quentin are currently putting the final touches to a jazz/funk cinematic LP, due for release later this year.
