The Shapeshifters (AKA Simon Marlin and his Swedish partner Max Reich) have not only managed to stay relevant throughout the course of their career, but they are on the cusp of some exciting new developments as they reach an impressive 10 years together as one of the UK’s most successful ever dance acts.

With standout hits including the timeless ‘Lola’s Theme’, ‘Back To Basics’ and ‘Incredible’ and remixes for the likes of George Michael, Christina Aguilera, Moby and Natalie Imbruglia, among many others, the duo are stalwarts of British dance culture.

With over twenty years experience each, they have maintained a healthy balance with their music – allied to neither the commercial nor the underground domains (as many of today’s acts are) – which has fuelled their success and helped to ensure that they are consistently in demand. In fact, during their entire 10 years together, demand for duo has never waned and this past year has been one of their busiest on record.

Their ability to remain relevant stems from their staunch belief in staying true to their musical values and maintaining their integrity. “There’s been a big change in the music, especially over the last six months,” says Max, highlighting their slight displacement in the current climate.
