Shapeshifter have been heralded as a musical phenomenon for their groundbreaking live shows, incredible live instrumentation & organic approach to songwriting, receiving widespread critical acclaim for their work.

Shapeshifter’s sound has evolved to transcend genre definition, taking elements from jazz, latin, reggae, soul, rock, hip hop & electronica, and blending them live into a truly diverse & overwhelmingly dancefloor experience.

At once SOULSTICE strikes the listener with its mature grasp on songwriting & the breadth of their sonic palette, which encompasses their signature d&b sound, blended with a range of complimentary genres. The sound is wider, more inclusive & with a far greater instrumentation than previously, as the band move their sound to another level altogether.

SOULSTICE also features a much greater & more varied vocal contribution from P Digsss, who has developed into a genuine superstar. Further vocal contributions come from some of NZ’s top soul vocalists, including Ladi6, KP (Sunshine Soundsystem) & Kye (Budspells). Other featured artists include Isaac Aesili (Solaa, Opensouls) on trumpet, Warren Maxwell (Fat Freddy’s Drop, Little Bushmen) on flute & Dave Wright (Solaa) on keys, while production duties were more than capably handled by Evan Short (Concord Dawn).
