Blood on My Hands

Shackleton wrote and produced "Blood on My Hands", first released on SKULL003. Ricardo Villalobos made a remix of nearly twenty minutes after hearing the track at a DJ set and being given its core samples; it was released as SKULL007, the Apocalypso Now Mix. Wikipedia says nearly twenty minutes, Metropolis Japan 18 minutes and calls it the label's biggest hit; one source gives 2007 as its year, which we could not confirm, and another spells the title Apocalypse Now.

Shackleton told the Stranger's Dave Segal in March 2010 that Appleblim suggested Villalobos remix it. Villalobos was keen, got the parts and returned it within a couple of weeks; Shackleton liked it and they released it. Villalobos had been playing and charting his music, though Shackleton had not heard of him, and the interviewer connects the remix to his move to Perlon. Resident Advisor's Derek Walmsley called the track a classic with Zen-like calm, in contrast to Soundboy's Suicide Note. A DJ-set tracker lists the Villalobos version in nine tracked sets, the most of any Shackleton track on that site, though it is not complete.

We found no recording date or studio, chart history, video, covers or samples, and no usable setlist.fm count, and could not tell whether our upload is the original or the Villalobos remix.
