Alt Minds Vol. 1
A compilation for neurodivergent artists
Alt Minds is a new compilation series from Tenderloin Music, built for neurodivergent musicians sitting on tracks that deserve to be finished and heard.
If you've got stems going nowhere, or a track that's mixed but never found a home - this is for you. We mix and master for free, release it properly, and split the money fairly. No hoops, no gatekeeping.
Vol. 1: Nighttime Signals is the first of what we hope will be an ongoing series - electronic, post-rock, folk and everything that sits in the cracks between them.
Who this is for
Neurodivergent artists - autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, dyspraxic, OCD, Tourette's, or any other way you identify. No diagnosis required. We work on trust: if you see yourself in this community, you're in.
18+, based anywhere in the world.
What you get
- Free mixing and mastering if you need it - send us stems and a rough mix, we take it from there.
- A real release - Bandcamp, streaming, part of a curated compilation with its own identity.
- Visibility - Tenderloin Radio, blog, socials, told properly and without the earnest framing a lot of "inclusive" music projects fall into.
- A community - a space with other artists going through the same thing, not just a Discord that dies after launch.
The sound
We're curating for cohesion, not just quota. We're genre-fluid but especially love electronic, downtempo, ambient, post-rock, folk and experimental.
How it works
Two kinds of slots: Support (you're not finished, we help you get there) and Community (you're mixed and ready, we release it). Full details, deadlines and the legal stuff are on the Alt Minds terms page.
Submit you music
Submissions close 14th August 2026. 15 slots per volume.
We're not a charity, and this isn't a formal fund. We just want the money and the platform to go back to the people who should have both.
