Why wait until the weekend? Sydney’s getting a new mid-week thumper on Thursday night, with the inaugural edition of SHIFT hitting Goodbar.

With left-field beat-based music finding its way into more clubs and bigger festivals across the globe, the introduction of SHIFT seems more than fitting. Looking to celebrate bass-heavy and experimental electronica, SHIFT will be taking over the lockout-free Goodbar tomorrow evening, taking full advantage of their crispy Void sound system.

Headlining the event will be New Zealand’s Montell2099, who’ll be making the trip over the Tasman following the recent release of his single ‘Hunnid On The Drop,’ where he teamed up with 21 Savage. Also joining the roster is ANH, Mayke and Esar of the Strxnger collective, while upstairs will be curated by Bodega Collective.

In preparation for the festivities, Esar has dropped us a quick 16-minute mix to get our earholes prepared for a big night of erratic tempos, skittering synths and bangers galore.
