Elite Force Biography
sHack's Elite Force project began way back in 1996, debuting on his
own newly founded Fused and Bruised label with a series of peerless
12s and remixes. After a successful five years,he put fused and
bruised on the backburner to concentrate on production work, and
following several years with Whole9Yards and Moonshinehe has since
become a mainstay recording artist for Adrift Recordings (formally
known as Kingsize Records).
Often credited for being a lynchpin in the developing the tech-funk
genre (an amalgamation of breaks, house, techno and electro) he has
released a series of highly successful singles in the past few years,
finding broad support from DJs and musicians across the board,
including the likes of James Zabiela, the Plump DJs, Laurent Garnier
and Damian Lazarus. In addition to these solo singles, Meat Katie has
been a regular collaborator with Elite Force, a relationship that had
begun in 2003 with the massive-selling 'Toba'.
As a remixer, Elite Force has always been in considerable demand,
with re-workings for the likes of Grandmaster Flash, Crystal Method,
Jungle Brothers, Stereo MCs, UNKLE, Infusion, Rennie Pilgrem, Shiloh
and Dylan Rhymes all contributing to his reputation as one of the
most creative and effective remixers around.
On the decks, Elite Force has been a prime mover since 1990 when he
cut his teeth playing huge student nights and self-promoted acid
house nights in the South West of England, before moving up to London
and ultimately gravitating towards his tech-funk style, with which he
now has a full diary of global bookings and has become known as one
of the top technicians on a circuit that has included massive shows
in Hungary, Australia, Italy, USA, Czech Republic, India, Turkey,
Spain, Japan and China, as well as numerous festival slots including
Glastonbury and the Glade. His bi-weekly strongarm sessions webcasts
have become something of an intraweb institution since their
inception back in 2001, and the most recent archives should be your
first stop if you've not come across the Force in action before![Smile](http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
