Shapeshifter have been heralded as a musical phenomenon for their ground breaking live shows, and have received widespread critical and commercial acclaim for their recorded work.

Their reputation as pioneers of modern music was built by a unique approach to electronic music, creating live what had previously been restricted to computer based studio musicians.

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

2001 saw the release of their debut LP Realtime, highlights included a collaboration with sublime vocalist Ladi6, on the track 'Move With Me'. Realtime was awarded the 'Best Electronic Release' at the 2002 bnet NZ music awards, and was also nominated at the RIANZ NZ music awards for 'Best Electronic Album'. The track 'Tapestry' became the No.1 most played track on the Alternative Radio Airplay charts for 2001, and was also nominated for 'Best Song' at the 2002 bnet awards.

Their second release Riddim Wise LP gained gold sales status and is only the second independently distributed DrumnBass album in the world to do so. The hits Long White Cloud, Been Missin and When I Return feature the voices of some of New Zealands top soul vocalists Joe Dukie, P-digsss and Ladi6 respectively. The album has subsequently spent many weeks at number 1 on the independent album sales charts. They won Best Electronic Release for their video of Long White Cloud at the 2005 Juice TV Music Awards.

Shapeshifter perform regularly in New Zealand and Australia. They have played a massive five sell-out New Zealand tours in a row as well as performing throughout the New Zealand festival circuit. A highlight being performing with the Auckland Philharmonic Orchestra in an unprecedented live collaboration in front of an estimated 20,000 people at the Auckland Domain. The event was simultaneously broadcast on radio around the country.

Shapeshifters highly anticipated third album with be released September 06
