Hear the Bass-Heavy B-Side to the Opiuo x Shapeshifter Collab EP

Many Drum & Bass heroes have had to spend the last decade evolving amongst shifting trends within the genre. Some of the UK's finest steppers turned their hand to techno with great success (Link to Trevino, Boddika). New Zealand's (via Melbourne) Shapeshifter have opted for a more pop oriented approach, constantly seeking new textures and tones to propel them forward. For their latest foray, one of the world's best broken beats acts have teamed with glitch-hop star, Opiuo, for the collaborative Slug A Bed EP, featuring bass heavy (no surprises there) party-starters.

Listen to the THUMP premiere of "Warehouse Be Like", a relentless attack of funk-fuelled glitch and hyperactive chops, above.

The Opiuo Band will appear at Let Them Eat Cake, taking place at Werribee Showgrounds on January 1 2016 at Werribee Gardens, Victoria AUS. Tickets on sale now.
