Now recording their 7th studio album for a 2020 release, Shapeshifter continue to innovate while solidifying their status as New Zealand’s premiere live electronic outfit.

The eagerly anticipated first taste is the single ‘Break Me Down’, combining the intensity of modern drum and bass with mature songwriting and inspirational vocals – a combination the bands legion of fans know well.

Written on tour in the London studio of Brad “Baloo” Ellis (Nextmen, Wilkinson, Little Mix, Plan B) the tune has already been a highlight of live performances at New Zealand’s biggest festivals including Homegrown and Bay Dreams.

The flipside sees a remix by Aotearoa’s hottest drum and bass producers right now: The Upbeats. Constantly touring across the globe and releasing on the world’s most prestigious drum and bass labels, Dylan Jones and Jeremy Glenn bring their distinctive funk and vision to a reinterpretation for the post-midnight massive.

And rounding out the package is a video by acclaimed kiwi director Nick Dwyer, filmed on location in Japan with some of the biggest names in Japanese women’s wrestling featuring in an authentic representation of the highs and lows of their sport.
