MidShift is the bold halfway marker in Umgido’s ongoing 10-year album journey, and also the centrepiece of this year’s 10-track chapter. Packing two powerful joints built on hypnotic 3-Step rhythms, the release captures the pulse of transition not at the beginning, not at the end, but right in the middle where energy is most alive.

These tracks are designed to move between worlds: the raw groove of African roots, the futuristic pull of electronic club culture, and the timeless storytelling that defines Umgido’s sound. As the fifth release in this year’s cycle, MidShift carries the weight of what has been built and points toward what is yet to come, embodying both reflection and momentum.

For Umgido, this is more than a pair of tracks, it’s a declaration that the journey is alive, the experiment is unfolding, and the second half of their 10-track album will push boundaries even further.
