How did it all begin? How did you meet, what gave you the idea to work together as a duo and what was it that inspired the name The Shapeshifters?
Simon and I met in Gothenburg (Sweden) back in 1996. He was DJing at a party and we were introduced through a mutual friend. Simon was working at a small independent label in London and was looking for new material and I gave him a cassette with the music I was doing at the time. We've been working together ever since but The Shapeshifters wasn't formed until late 2003 with our first release Lola's Theme, which initially came out our label Nocturnal Groove. There's a really cool character called Shapeshifter in the series Star Trek that we both really like, and when you're dancing you're shifting shapes too, so we thought that the Shapeshifters will be a great name.
