SHFT (pronounced ‘shift’, as in transfer or relocate) aka New Delhi-based techno DJ and

producer Vipul Angirish makes music that is boundless, with a versatile sound that’s both

clean and effervescent. The name SHFT was inspired by a decision made by Vipul, who has

been performing since 2008, to shift from a moodier sound to more club-friendly rhythms.

With tracks filled with both strong grooves and hypnotic elements, SHFT not only makes

you dance, but also gives you ample space to reflect. The music is a testament of his

eclectic influences, which range from electronic music stars Maceo Plex and Trentemoller to

Western classical and contemporary jazz.

A regular on the club circuit, his festival appearances include the popular RESET series of

gigs and Goa’s Sunburn where he played along side the likes of Seth Troxler. In 2015, he

shared the stage with acts like Pleasurekraft (during his India tour) and Pretty Lights (at

the Delhi leg of the Corona Sunsets). SHFT’s discography comprises over a dozen singles on

major international techno labels, among them Germany’s Traum and Brazil’s Inminimax
