From humble beginnings to working with Billy Porter, Joss Stone, Kimberly Davis, and Teni Tinks, The Shapeshifters aka Simon Marlin recently announced the release of his brand-new studio album ‘Let Loose’. The album plays with the friction between Marlin’s musical persona and his influences, delivering an album that demonstrates his depth of integrity as a producer and admiration to those who exert their enduring influence upon him.
With two collaborative records under their belt already The Shapeshifters, aka Simon Marlin, and Chic vocalist Kimberly Davis reunite once again for another release on Glitterbox Recordings.
The Shapeshifters delivers ‘Tell Me It’s Not Over’ featuring Adi Oasis (formerly known as Adeline) on Glitterbox Recordings. The record, co-written with New York’s JKriv, is drenched in summertime energy, with influences from the halcyon days of disco.
The Shapeshifters get set to release his latest track, this time featuring the vocals of Grammy and Brit award-winning singer Joss Stone. Demonstrating his production style that aims to capture the authentic golden-era disco sound with a freshness for contemporary floors, ‘Bring On The Rain’ is out on 1 April on Glitterbox.
Cafe Mambo recently announced that they are bringing a host of dance music acts to Rainton Arena, Durham on Saturday 18 September. The lineup is made up of Roger Sanchez, saxophonists Lovely Laura & Ben Santiago, The Shapeshifters, Ferreck Dawn and Cafe Mambo resident Danny O.
The Shapeshifters’ studio skills and dedication to his craft has resulted in singles that possibly stand up alongside golden era disco records as much as they sound fresh on dancefloors today. His relationship with Glitterbox has yielded tracks that epitomise the label’s ethos for preserving disco’s mission to uplift and empower, in particular with his latest release and debut collaboration with the Grammy, Tony and Emmy Award-winning Billy Porter, ‘Finally Ready’.
After their debut collaboration ‘Life Is A Dancefloor’ possibly became one of the year’s stand out house records, Glitterbox favourite The Shapeshifters, aka Simon Marlin, reunites with Chic’s Kimberly Davis on their latest offering ‘Second Chance’.
