With stunning cocktails and a cosmopolitan crowd, Nikki Beach is not just a glamorous place to bathe but a glamorous place to dance too, and the new compilation courtesy of The Shapeshifters aims to recreate that experience in a musical package fit for your consumption.
If you love to travel, pay more than a little attention to your appearance and appreciate the finer things in life, then you will probably have already come across the luxury brand that is Nikki Beach. With a global reputation as a brand known for its sophistication, style, luxurious surroundings and wearing its sexiness on its sleeve, it provides the ultimate way to spend your quality time. With beach and poolside venues across the world where you can eat, enjoy a cocktail, relax in the sunshine or party the night away.
It’s a beautiful place, terminally trendy, with its lazy hammocks, beach front cabanas and its now signature tepees. Designed with a simple elegance it is no surprise that The Observer once described it as ‘the sexiest place on earth’, and with venues around the world it really is a global brand deluxe.
In addition to its infamous salubriousness, Nikki Beach is also known for delivering a soundtrack to beach life. Music is an essential part of creating the right environment at their venues, and they have the experience to deliver the right sound to reflect the right mood.
As well as hosting an event for the official opening of their new Las Vegas venue, 2011 marks the start of an ongoing musical relationship between Nikki Beach and Defected, the debut release of which is Nikki Beach In The House mixed by The Shapeshifters, who have crafted a mix designed to reflect the atmosphere of a day and night spent partying at Nikki Beach.
With a two discs from The Shapeshifters taking us from the laidback, poolside vibes of the day though to the mainroom sound with which they have made their name, plus a further CD mixed by the musical director of Nikki Beach Roman Rosati, this is a suitably glamorous mix for anyone as serious about their house music as they are about their choice of party destination.
Nikki Beach In The House mixed by The Shapeshifters is out 20th June.
