The Shapeshifters’ studio mastery and dedication to his craft has resulted in singles that stand up alongside golden era disco records as much as they sound fresh on dancefloors today. His rich relationship with Glitterbox has yielded instant classics that epitomise the label’s ethos for preserving disco’s mission to uplift and empower, in particular with his latest release and debut collaboration with the Grammy, Tony and Emmy Award-winning Billy Porter, ‘Finally Ready’. Now, one of the label’s nearest and dearest, Dimitri From Paris steps up to remix The Shapeshifters in for a brand-new package. Bringing the sound of Paris with his signature stylish flare, across remixes Pts I & II Dimitri delves into the disco vaults for an inspired pair of tracks; not forgetting the Club Dub giving us yet more Dimitri excellence. The joyful message of ‘Finally Ready’ continues to shine through on this blissful package, with the previously unheard ‘Finally Ready’ Reprise and Extended Monologue Mix from The Shapeshifters also featuring, showcasing a record that continues to resonate across the globe.
