Shackletons maverick take on big basslines and complex beats doesn't fit into easy categories and that's how it's going to stay. Shackleton has been carving out his own brand of eclecticism on Skull Disco releases so far with intricate, snaking percussion, hypnotic melodies, seriously deep bass lines and dubwise sensibilities. Beside that he's running the Skull Disco label with Appleblim.

Skull Disco releases often tended to use unusual sounds, atypical of the dubstep genre; they often eschew the familiar drum tropes of dubstep for African percussion and samples of ethnic vocals, combined with massive sub-bass, and sometimes elements of four to the floor Basic Channel-style dub techno. Some tracks (particularly later Shackleton releases) carry a strong Muslimgauze influence. Minimal techno producer Ricardo Villalobos is a fan; he produced a nearly twenty-minute remix of Shackleton's Blood on my Hands after expressing an interest and being handed the core samples of the song at a DJ set. Shackleton has returned the favour by remixing Minimoonstar from Villalobos' Vasco EP Part 1.

In 2001 Bitz began DJing in Graz and founded the Houseverbot label in 2002. Around that time he started promoting parties together with fellow mates F. Puschmann and Clara Moto with Minimal Housing at Kunsthaus Graz and plenty of events in Sub. After that the busy Houseverbot crew started promoting the legendary Birds party series at Postgarage together with the Soundsilo Crew. 2003 marked the beginning of Bitz as a Techno / House / Electronica producer. Nowadays he's also part of the Dangerous Tweakers production outfit together with pianist Martin Riegelnegg & Bogdanovic whichs sound can be described as post-minimalist techno with a hint of deep house and a breeze of funk.
