Shapeshifters is chart-topping west london house duo Simon Marlin and Max Reich, who this year have managed to produce that aural holy grail ­ a cool tune that does the business in the clubs and proved irresistible to the mainstream. They're about quality music and bouncing parties, and are leading the current charge in house music's renaissance that has seen an exciting upsurge in the scene this year.

Simon has an ear for the tunes that rock the club's devotees. his musical education came from teenage years spent on the dancefloors of the late 80's and early 90's, the heady days of funky, euphoric house beats, and a move from the midlands to london furthered his passion for dance music...

In 2003, with no commercial pressure or expectations, the pair finally sat down to make a tune together, combining Simon's love of house and Max's darker, techie sound and fascination with rich production...

They consequently spent many nights holed up in max's studio, where they'd sit down testing out new bits of kit and experimenting with different sounds. it was these early sessions with simon on keyboards that created 'Lola's Theme'. The initial inspiration had come whilst Lola was going through her old vinyl collection, digging out tunes to play after a night out. As she put on several of her favourites and started to sing, the vibe caught simon's ear and the seed was planted.

Seven months later, and 'Lola's Theme' became the undeniable dance hit of the past few years. The track received unanimous support from the worlds coolest and most purist house aficionados, with many heralding it as a turning point for the dance scene...

'Lola's Theme' epitomises the ethos of shapeshifters and nocturnal groove, uniting the dancefloor with its stand out irresistible groove, addictive hook, and epic sound, but only tells some of the story. Imagine a rocking venue with all the right tunes, all your best mates, and an intimate, happy crowd, and you'll start to see what the nocturnal parties are about.
