Elite Force
Other Alias/Projects (past and present): Lunatic Calm, Double Black
sHack aka Elite Force has been involved in making music in some capacity for as long as he can remember. He began his DJ career towards the end of the acid house boom, and was inspired by the promise of a future combination of Weatherall and the Chemicals' DJ sets, no-wave noiseniks such as Big Black, Young Gods and Sonic Youth, the robotic flair of Kraftwerk and Front 242 and the repetitive bliss of arch minimalists such as Steve Reich and Terry Riley. After a lengthy dalliance with various projects (including some early experiments with college friend Thom Yorke), sHack founded the Fused and Bruised label (initially as home to his own aliases...see above), and also launched a successful career as one half of Lunatic Calm, who were to score heavily in America and on a number of movie soundtracks, including the Matrix/Charlie's Angels etc...
Both the Fused and Bruised empire and Lunatic Calm enjoyed five successful years, during which time Elite Force was rapidly coming to the fore as a highly sought after producer and remixer, and in 2001 sHack decided to concentrate his energies in recording and DJaying as Elite Force. There followed a series of four singles (and a debut artist album) on Whole 9 Yards, two 12"s on Moonshine in the US and a number on other labels such as TCR and Thrust, not to mention numerous remixes for the likes of Crystal Method, Grandmaster Flash and UNKLE. Joining Kingsize in 2003, he has become a mainstay of the label and for all of the right reasons! As a DJ he is recognized as one of the top 10 proponents of breaks in the world (breakspoll 2005), but as any listeners to his hugely popular fortnightly Strongarm Sessions webcasts will testify, his is a tech-funk style that refuses to be straight-jacketed.
