THE NEW EP WILL FEATURE THE MONSTROUS SINGLE BLOODSTREAM

Two bass heavyweights return with a landmark collaboration, as Shapeshifter and The Upbeats double their powers on SSXUB, a box-fresh EP to be released on September 12^th.

Recorded in The Upbeats’ studio and mixed by mastering engineer Stuart Hawkes (Amy Winehouse, Rudimental, Disclosure, Katy B), SSXUB sees these bass music brothers-in-arms unleash four bin-rattling cuts that draw on their twinned production talents.

Shapeshifter and The Upbeats solidified their in-studio bond while they were working together on the Shifter’s chart-topping, platinum-selling album Delta and, as The Upbeats’ Dylan Jones explains, their latest partnership on SSXUB has allowed them to create a set even greater than the sum of its parts.

“It’s like a mini album, a little part of everything we do bundled into five tunes,” says Shapeshifter’s Sam Trevethick. “There’s some classic Upbeats aggression, some Shapeshifter soul, some future material, some pop-tinged uplifting business.”

Shapeshifter and The Upbeats will celebrate the release of the EP by hitting the road together for a tour across New Zealand that cannot be missed!

Details for the tour can be found HERE.
