Shapeshifters, consisting of Simon Marlin and Max Reich, are a electronic music group from the United Kingdom.
They are known in the United States as Shape:UK, in part due to a conflict with the Los Angeles based hip-hop act Shape Shifters over the name because of the latter having legally trademarked it. However, the duo still uses the "Shapeshifters" name when they are charting in other countries outside the US.
They are best known for their UK ..1 single "Lola's Theme" in July 2004. The track was originally released as an instrumental promo in 2003 and was inspired by Simon's wife, Lola. Their second single released in March 2005, titled "Back To Basics" reached number 10 in the UK. The third single Incredible reached Number 12 and their debut album Sound Advice was released on 6 March 2006, peaking at 76.
