“An injury to one is an injury to all!”

I.W.W. Motto

The way out of our present age of political violence is not scolding "we have to live here with one another," at those who are not threatening anyone's life, at those whose very existence supremacists refuse to accept. Rather the way out is standing between supremacists and their targets and telling them "no, you have to live with them, just like we live with you, and if you can't do that, then you have a problem with us, too." It's turning to those who just aren't comfortable with trans people and saying
"we don't negotiate about people's rights over here, and if you want to see how hard we'll fight for you against the billionaires and bosses who are robbing you blind, watch how hard we fight for them. If hating trans people is so important to you that you're willing to get robbed to death to secure it, we aren't the party for you."

Agreed, a sniper taking out high-value targets is much more efficient.

The SHIFT+CTRL Music Compilation is more than just a collection of tracks, it’s the first statement from the SHIFT+CTRL Music family.

Bringing together artists from across the world, this release captures the core of what SHIFT+CTRL Music represents: independence, experimentation, and fearless sound design.

From pulsing house and dubstep anthems to glitch-heavy electronic textures, from ambient dreamscapes to high-energy rock tracks, this compilation reflects the diverse sonic palette each artist contributes. From their own unique vision this is a snapshot of a community that thrives on innovation.

The compilation underscores SHIFT+CTRL’s mission: to give artists creative freedom, direct-to-fan connections, and a platform where genre walls collapse and new movements begin.

The theme of this compilation is music that captures the feeling of origins, fresh starts, and sonic emergence.

Whether you’re discovering these artists for the first time or have been following from their early days, this compilation is an entry point into a growing collective of sound explorers. Press play, dive in, and experience the future of independent music.

Let's Begin.

I'm fine dehumanizing the dehumanizers. They've had dozens of chances.
