Article by Nicol Craig | 22 Apr 2008

So, you like drum and bass, you like soul, you like reggae and you might even like rock. If you've mentally ticked these boxes then you might like to hear them all sequenced together in a way like no other. Shapeshifters will be blessing the Liquid Room with their presence, promoting their new single One, which is due for release in June and features a remix from D-Bridge, founder of dnb outfit Bad Company. Their third studio album Soulstice reached gold status in five weeks in New Zealand, and has since gone platinum. The boys are coming off the back of winning best live act at New Zealand's Bnet Music Awards. The kiwi five piece are hitting Europe, giving Edinburgh the Scottish exclusive. They pride themselves on their energetic live performances, and will demand an appropriate response from the crowd. Head on down, get your shoes dirty, and hear one of the most inventive and exciting acts from down under. [Nicol Craig]
