Who we are

We are a collective of record labels and artists that reside under the Inner Shift Music label name. Included are other labels such as Common Dreams Music, Depth Sequence, and 117 Music group: https://innershiftmusic.com.

Media including digital music files

Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images to paid for downloads on the website. Of course we want you to play our music for yourself and in dj mixes. But if you’re getting paid on a commercial level, please pay us. If you’re using it to help us, or promote us and it’s within a tasteful context where little or no money is being made, we welcome that. All of that is of course subjective so here here is the legal stance regarding our music rights: Examples where you can use our music include on your own personal systems & devices, sharing over a PA at a non-commercial perfomance venue which doesn’t report to a royalty service, or to share in the context of an independant music mix which is not made for commercial or monetary purposes. When you purchase our music you also agree that if you use our downloaded music to play in a commercial or monetised setting such as a music or mix complilation which is sold and or has monetary value due to advertising or click rates, broadcast settings such as FM or AM radio, streaming services, stock music, aggregate services, distribution services, television, films, large venues that report to a royalty society, and music videos for monetary or commercial purposes, you will ask for our consent or you will report the music to your national royalty society if the context requires. We make exclusions for online videos made by content hosts that support our music out of goodwill, which mainly feature our label designs and artwork along with our music, and are clearly not used to build the host reputation by aggregating large amounts of unrelated content which can include music that strays away from underground non-commercial electronic, jazz influenced, eclectic, or obscure genres. We also make exclusions for social media website streamed videos where our music is either part of a mix with other music or a short clip in a promotional context. Otherwise, you must notify us for our consent or notify your country’s national royalty collection service if the context requires. Unauthorized sharing, selling or distributing of our downloaded music without our consent is not allowed. We do not allow the social media sharing of entire files or songs as downloads or streams which run the full length, or near the full length of a song within reasonable limits.

More about leaving comments

We encourage you to say something neutral or nice, otherwise don’t say anything at all as it’s a waste of time for yourself, us and the world unless we can quantify that it will benefit someone else in the long run. For example, comments such as “My record was 3 months late and we had a large customs fee in my country” would be an acceptable negative comment. However, “These guys are idiots!” would be unacceptable based on our personal guidelines to not approve and remove comments which are “unhelpful subjective opinions that are not useful, can’t be measured and can’t be proven without wasting time that could be spent doing something more concrete or constructive”.
