Shapeshifter
Shapeshifter formed in 1999 after the four founding members met at music school. The group soon realised a common vision of performing dance music live and unsequenced.
What set Shapeshifter apart from other groups, was their use of organic instruments (drums, saxophone, guitar, percussion and horns) as well as synthersizers and keyboards to create a genre of music that had previously been restricted to pre-sequenced or pre-recorded performances...

Posted by jojothemonkey 12.34PM, 19 Feb 2010Check out Lifetime off the new album, The System is a Vampire. It's the track that everyone seems to be getting excited about at the moment.
Posted by Itchy Pasquali 9.08AM, 25 Jan 2010Lol this is funny.
Posted by Unidanman 11.58AM, 24 Jan 2010But these guys are amazing.
I only know two of their songs. Dutchies and Eldctric Dream.
Anyone recommend a particular one???
'Jak0118' may i sugest you learn to read and write before posting on the internet. Although you did spell Pretentious right, did your mum help you with that one?
Shapies were epic live at Coro Gold NYE. Awesome gig.
Posted by cartman 6.43PM, 14 Jan 2010Fuk diks like Cartman and Beatnik, Pretentious dik heads. Give thanks and praises for good Kiwi music. Fuk the haters. Nuff said!!
Posted by Jak0118 8.43AM, 13 Dec 2009totally agree beatnink, 'Tokyo' especially, but still original break beat madness. Not complaining tho, i am a fan of APP, Porcupine tree and other prog rock. I've noticed a lot of D'n'B producers like alix perez and sub focus that have been influenced by prog rock. that's what happens if ya have parents with interesting music tastes like i did.
Lush Production on this one and P Diggs takes center stage. Cant wait for Coro Gold NYE. Hope they ruff up some of these tracks live and bring back that mean, edgy D'n'B sounds like they used to play.
much respect from a long time fan.
Posted by cartman 2.45PM, 18 Nov 2009Mean can't wait to see you Mutha fluckers at Coro Gold YeYaaaa!!
Posted by KURTSTA3222 1.37PM, 15 Nov 2009MEAN!
Posted by Stuart Parnell 4.22AM, 13 Nov 2009I must have been listening to something different to Beatnink, cos it sounded like a mint trick to my ears . . . can't wait to release show.
