Mindslash Debuts on Set About with Nightshift EP

The title cut Nightshift wastes no time pulling listeners into its orbit. Built around pounding drums and tense, swirling atmospheres, it’s a late-night weapon designed for peak-time moments. But what sets it apart is its origin story: crafted in a single 10-hour studio sprint, the track transforms sounds recorded during Mindslash’s actual night shifts in an alcohol and cigarette shop—cash register beeps, fridge hums, and all—into a cathartic slice of techno. It’s personal frustration turned into pure dancefloor energy.

Flip to Embrace and the mood shifts without losing intensity. Here, Mindslash opens up a more melodic side, weaving immersive synth lines over his trademark drive. The result is a track that hits hard in the club but lingers long after, striking a balance between raw power and emotional depth.

At just 20, Mindslash is already a fixture in Bulgaria’s scene, with his Technogenix event series and performances at venues like Yalta and Plazma putting him on the radar alongside international names. His productions, influenced by but not beholden to figures like Boris Brejcha, blend peak-time punch with psy-trance-tinged melodies, carving out a sound that’s both fierce and hypnotic.

With Nightshift, he makes his boldest statement yet. It’s techno born from struggle, sharpened in the club, and aimed squarely at the global stage.
