 ‘New Day’ is the eagerly awaited second taste of The Shapeshifters ’ forthcoming new album, set for release in early 2008. The finishing touches are currently being put on the long-player, as Britain’s most promising live dance band prepare for their headline live performances at the Metro Weekender (SW4) and Global Gathering in Turkey. Amongst their numerous DJ set highlights, which included rocking Turnmills to its very core with their recent Nocturnal event, and Pacha, Ibiza with The Shapeshifters Soundsystem, the boys had their own outdoor stage at Global Gathering, welcoming Nocturnal Groove’s roster including Martijn Ten Velden and Radio 1’s Trophy Twins, to the UK’s biggest dance music festival and entertaining a large and loyal following despite the pouring rain! The next day saw them leave the muddy festival for Jodie Kidd’s Cartier party at the Guard’s Polo Tournament, where they tore the roof off with a barnstorming live set.
New bandmate and friend Jenna G joined the group in late 2006. During the course of writing the last album, and the eureka moment of her performance with Simon and Max at SW4 and Global Gathering in summer 2006, it became apparent that Jenna’s future lay as a fulltime member. On the extended version and radio edit, ‘New Day’s’ outstanding production and devastating hook is crowned by Jenna’s soaring vocals. As always Simon and Max’s own Nocturnal mix is one for the dancefloor, again demonstrating that within the world’s house community, they can always be relied upon to push musical boundaries. Now represented by one of the world's leading live entertainment companies, William Morris Associates, for live performances, further gigs and tours are planned in preparation for the album’s release and will run well into 2008. ‘New Day’ remixes come from Mark Picchiotti and Erick E. |
