About the song:

I wrote this song as a way for people to escape the daily grind. Whether you're dealing with a demanding job or a difficult boss, sometimes all you need is an anthem to get you through the day. I hope this song provides a cathartic release and brings you some joy.

When I was writing this song, I really connected with it on a personal level. It was a way for me to process my own experiences and find hope in the midst of challenges. I hope that you can find the same thing in this song.

About Night Shift:

Kick Drum Therapy is proud to announce the upcoming release of the Night Shift EP from rising EDM artist SWEEPR. Produced by James Lenhart, Night Shift is a high-energy, six-song EP that showcases the artist's signature sound and undeniable talent.

SWEEPR's music is a fusion of European techno influences and soul-stirring melodies that captivate audiences from the club to the festival grounds. With a genre-blending attitude and bold perspective, SWEEPR draws inspiration from some of the biggest names in dance music, including Hardwell, deadmau5, David Guetta, Tiesto, Lee Foss, and Daft Punk.

In today's fast-paced corporate culture, many of us find ourselves stuck in a cycle of endless meetings, deadlines, and projects. We often forget to take time for ourselves and get lost in the monotony of the day-to-day grind. SWEEPR's Night Shift EP is the perfect antidote to this, providing an escape through the music.

The Night Shift EP encourages listeners to break free from the routine and embrace the power of music to transport us to another place. It's a reminder that even in the midst of the daily grind, we can still find moments of joy and inspiration.

The six songs on the EP take the listener on a journey, from the pulsing beats of "Overtime" to the hypnotic melodies of "Wait." Two of the tracks on the EP, "Quitting Culture" and "Bare Minimum," feature collaborations with rising hip-hop artist Lil Cross, adding a fresh and exciting dimension to SWEEPR's techno sound.

"Night Shift embraces the idea of breaking free from the hustle and grind of working life." SWEEPR, Producer / Songwriter

With influences from hip-hop, house, big room, techno, pop music, and a wide range of EDM artists, Night Shift is the perfect escape for anyone looking to let loose and dance the night away.

LYRICS:
Jennii got an office job at last
YEAH AT LAST!
No more fucking debt
And she knows that we're all fucking jealous
SO LUCKY!
She's gonna have cash now

But then she sees it's really fucking boring
SO BORING!
The hours are a fucking drag
She can't believe they do this for a living
WHAT THE FUCK?
How many more years now?

You know...
YOU KNOW!
We've had...
WE'VE HAD...
Enough, you know we're quiet quitting
Stuff this...

Fuck you...
FUCK YOU!
Fuck you, you know we're quiet quitting

Turns out that the boss is a fucking jerk
TOTAL WANKER!
Always staring at her breasts
He's even started texting her after hours
WHAT A LOSER!
Asking her out for drinks

All the women say there's no point complaining
NO CHANCE!
HR don't wanna know
You've just gotta try to keep him happy
SAD BASTARD!
Or he'll make your life hell

You know...
YOU KNOW!
We've had...
WE'VE HAD...
Enough, you know we're quiet quitting
Stuff this...

Fuck you, you know we're quiet quitting

She makes it to the end of the fucking month
OH GAHD!
Checks out her pay slip
You know she can't believe her fucking eyes
WHAT THE FUCK?
What's tax and super?

She's never gonna buy a fucking house now
NO CHANCE!
Can barely afford the rent
She's never gonna start a fucking family
NO WAY!
Can't afford groceries

You know...

Fuck you, you know we're quiet quitting

When she says she's taking off a stress day
I'M FUCKED!
They all say you can't do that
And when she tries answering in emojis
LOL!
They all look horrified

She tells her sob story in a video
THIS IS FUCKED!
Sticks it on the internet
Says her generation has no future
WE'RE ALL FUCKED!
Cue the media pile on

You know...
YOU KNOW!
We've had...

Enough, you know we're quiet quitting
Stuff this...

**Verse 1**  
Ohhh-oh, they call it “leadership,” but it’s just a disguise,  
A shadowboxin’ bully in a power-tie.  
You crunch the numbers, bleed into the grind,  
While they rewrite the rules, then rewind, rewind…  
“Why’s the project late?” Well, who switched the plan?  
Their amnesia’s a weapon, and you’re “the bad man.”  

**Pre-Chorus**  
They’ll say you’re “too emotional” (No!)  
When their conscience is optional (So low!),  
But the truth’s in the coffee-stained files,  
And the way their smile never reaches their eyes…  

**Chorus**  
Crappy bosses, ohhh, dance on our backs,  
Samba of the soulless, clappin’ as we crack.  
Gaslight sambadrome, they’ll cha-cha-cha lies,  
But we’re countin’ the numbers, oh, to say our goodbyes!  
When that lottery hits, we’ll rhumba through the door,  
No more tango with tyrants—we’re dancin’ poor no more!  

**Verse 2**  
They’ll steal your hustle, then call you “too slow,”  
Take weekends in Cabo while you’re kneelin’ in snow.  
Your stress is their salsa, your tears the salt rim,  
They’re a carnival vampire—suckin’ dreams on a whim.  
But the drumbeat’s shifting, can you hear the low hum?  
The workers’ soft clapping’s a revolution’s drum…  

**Pre-Chorus**  
They’ll say you’re “not a team player” (Lie!)  
While they’re yacht-shoppin’ later (Goodbye!),  
But the office walls whisper their shame,  
And the janitors know every CEO’s dirty name…  

**Chorus**  
Crappy bosses, ohhh, your rhythm’s offbeat,  
We’re the band playin’ hot in the soul-sucking heat!  
You can mambo your malice, twist truth into twirls,  
But we’ll samba to freedom—and bury your world!  
When those numbers align, oh, we’ll bossa nova away,  
No more blood for your bonfire—we’re fireflies at day!  

**Bridge**  
Imagine, imagine—no alarms, no demands,  
Just sun on our faces and saltwater hands.  
No more “urgent” emails at 2 a.m.,  
Just a beach where the waves shout, “Never trust them!”  
We’ll build a new rhythm where respect is the drum,  
And the only “deadline” is when the margaritas come…  

**Outro**  
Crappy bosses, your empire’s a bluff,  
We’re the samba they’ll never silence enough.  
So spin your sad stories, your trophies of greed,  
We’ll waltz into the future—where the wounded hearts lead!  
And if we win that jackpot? Honey, pass me my shoes—  
We’ll dance on their desks in a bossa nova news.

Bossa-No-No

A once-passionate worker, disillusioned by bad management and office politics, now keeps things running without going above and beyond. It’s a bittersweet reflection on how enthusiasm fades when recognition is replaced by empty titles.

Going Through the Motions

Here for a good time. 

I hear words in clips and phrases. I like sounds and making music go beep boop.

Xak Stahl: Alchemist of Sound, Architect of Emotion

Xak Stahl is a genre-blurring music artist, sonic storyteller, and relentless experimenter. Every track he creates is a new world—a kaleidoscope of indie folk, alt-pop, electronica, and global flavors—infused with raw emotion and boundless curiosity. Xak’s music isn’t just heard; it’s felt.

From Shadow to Spotlight

For Xak, music is metamorphosis. His journey began in the shadows, transmuting heartbreak and struggle into songs that glow with hope. Early anthems like “Neon Dreams” and “Rising Through the Darkness” invite listeners to find their own light. His newest project, Major Arcana, channels the mysteries of the Tarot—each song an archetype, each lyric a step along the path from the Fool’s first leap to the wisdom of The World.

More Than Music: A Multisensory Universe

But Xak isn’t confined to sound. As a visual artist and writer, he crafts immersive stories that spill across genres and languages—sometimes haunting, sometimes playful, always honest. Whether he’s conjuring lush soundscapes, weaving bilingual lyrics, or creating striking visuals, Xak’s art dares you to feel deeper and dream wilder.

An Invitation to Transformation

Join Xak Stahl on a sonic odyssey that blurs borders—between genres, between artforms, between you and the music. Each release is an invitation to explore, to heal, to become. For Xak, every song is a spell, every album a universe. The only question is: are you ready to step inside?

Solive Raye is the sound of solitude given form, quiet thoughts turned into raw, melodic truths. An engineer and lifelong observer, Solive Raye writes for those who feel alone in crowded rooms, where silence speaks louder than words.


Blending dark, atmospheric tones with flickers of hope, his music lives in the in-between: not quite despair, not quite light, but something honest.


Raised in movement, from football fields to refereeing lines, he now wanders more internal landscapes, shaping every lyric with the precision of an outsider looking in.


Solive Raye doesn’t shout. He resonates.
