Skinshape is the project of British musician, William Dorey. The sound has roots in many genres, from 1960s-70s Funk, Soul, Reggae and Psychedelic Rock to Afrobeat and Folk. Out of a love for old music and the way it sounded, Dorey initially experimented with samples (especially drum breaks) to create instrumental hip-hop/trip-hop tracks, but then later started to play around with tape machines as a means to create his own ‘samples’. This process gave birth to Skinshape, with all elements being recorded by Dorey since the first self-titled album, released in 2014. He released his second album “Oracolo” in 2015, and in 2017 he released his third album “Life & Love”. Aside from the Skinshape project, Dorey was bassist for the band Palace from 2014-2017, and also runs a reggae label called Horus Records, based in North London. – Spotify
