sHiFt- 10 Essential Tracks

Behind the sHiFt project is Chris Hoy, a South-African Psy-Trance producer. His main Psytrance influence came from projects and artists such as The Age Of Love, Tsuyoshi, VOrtex, The Delta and X-Dream.

The name “sHiFt” means a lot of things, but “it’s all about movement, being dynamic and shifting to new levels of dance and experience in the music” according to Chris.
