"The passion is still there": Shapeshifter celebrate 25 years

Kiwi band Shapeshifter is showing no signs of stopping. 

They’re pioneers of one of New Zealand’s most popular music genres, carving out a niche within the DnB scene. 

With seven albums and four EPs, the band is celebrating 25 years of success with a tour later this year. 

Nick Robinson plays the bass, synth, and the MPC for Shapeshifter, and told Jack Tame that reaching 25 years is probably the proudest thing they’ve all felt. 

“We all respect each other so much as musicians and as friends, we’re all willing to flex, there’s no ego there,” he said. 

“So, I think we can sort of bounce of each other and get the best results, and you know, really sort of... it’s just been so enjoyable.” 

Robinson said that there’s been ups and downs throughout the 25 years they’ve been performing, but the passion and fire is still there. 

“We just sort of love what we do and we, we sort of love the way we’ve done it on our, on our own terms.”
