The Shapeshifter's Sound Advice

nope, u guessed wrong, this post aint a long list of sound advices u need to go through life and all that, so incase i have dissapointed u, u can close this window. but before u do close it, i do have, however, one sound advice i would like to share with u, esp if u are a dance music fan...get shapeshifter's sound advice. :P

another great sound advice on sound! courtesy of the amazing Positiva records which is responsible for smashing dance singles such as Toca's Miracle and dj Spiller's classic Groovejet!

now its time for shapeshifters

to some people who have listened to some of shapeshifter's singles such as Back To Basics and Incredible which has been played on the radio again and again, esp Incredible, u might get the impression that this is some sort of a reincarnation of the legendary house duo, Phats n Small (where the fuck are they anyway man, i miss them a hell lot, if i met them on the streets i will yell at them saying "HEY! WHATS WRONG WITH YOUUUUU" :p), but once u buy the cd, i can assure u, that u r mistaken, unlike phats n small who concentrates rahter on the the funk house music genre, the shapeshifters music are quite well colorful, ranging from house funk (DUH!), electronica, maybe a wee bit tinge of trance there, and a lil lounge that somehow has got some tight beats fitted into it.

the first 4 tracks are big ass funky house, so u might get a surprised when the 5th tracks comes and its seriously electronica, might come as quite a shock to u, thats when u realized that u were wrong when u compared these guys to phats n small, i guess the name shapeshifters is due to their colourful music in this album.

my favourite tracks here are, incredible (ofcourse, this has been a radio hit for like months now!, really awesome single), Lola's theme, Sensitivity (the funky bass line here makes u feel like u are back to the 80s), beautiful heartache (now this is something new, u have to have a listen to this one, this music just FLOWS literally, everything, the basslines, the strings ,the vocals, the melody, it...itt...FLOWSSS), and the first single of this album Back To Basics (this shit right here is funky as ever)

so if any of u Phats n Small fans out there waiting in vain for your hero to return here is a lil something for u, to entertain u while u wait endlessly, this is Phats n small and a lil more.

PS: unlike other dance music which has just plain stupid lyrics, this duo, really has a depth in their lyrics. WELL DONE POSITIVA AND NOCTURNAL BEATS.
