April 10, 2007 UK Beat Makers: Disco is Not Dead!
The UK disco-duo known, the Shapeshifters, are such an amazing musical conglomerate. Known in the U.S. as Shape:UK due to a conflict with a band of similar nomenclature in Los Angeles, the band continues to make its mark all over the world. Their most popular song, “Lola’s Theme”, was released in Summer 2004. It is an amazing song about change, growth, the beauty of relationships and the ability to recognize that life is to be lived beautifully!
Their other song “Back to Basics” revisits the feel good music of 70’s disco. It is an amazing track with nostalgic qualities. Last but not least is “Sensitivity” with Chic. I love! What is up with prominent UK producers that specialize in ridiculously amazing beats finding strong black female vocalists to bring their beats to life?! Whatever it is – the formula is working.
Basement Jaxx is another band that applies the very same formula! “Oh my Gosh”, “Where’s your head at”, “Hey You”, and especially “Breakaway” are my all time favorites. The British are coming! And, I love it!
