Midnight Shift Records
Midnight Shift Records is a record label established in 2011 and based out of Singapore. The label specializes in Techno and House music from both emerging and established producers. The first EP, 'The First Shift' was released in October 2012, featuring artists Basic Soul Unit from Toronto and Eddie Niguel from Singapore.
Of the same name are the Midnight Shift Events, a series of afterhours electronic music parties. Headline acts are kept as a mystery with clues given out to members.
In September 2012, Midnight Shift organized its first label showcase at the 26,000-strong Decibel Festival in Seattle, Washington with label artists Basic Soul Unit, Norman Chung, Terrence Parker and headliner Oxia.
In 2012, Midnight Shift began its collaboration with fellow Singaporean label Darker Than Wax and venue Zouk, to organise a series of events titled DMZ held at the club's Velvet Underground-Dance room. Featuring darker, deeper house music and a dsytopian aesthetic, the quarterly event has seen guests Basic Soul Unit and Iron Curtis.
The Midnight Shift record label and events organization are both held by The Singapore Music Cabinet Private Limited.
