Ta-ku, all of his earlier albums. In particular: 50 Days for Dilla Vol. 2

Best of Hans Zimmer.

I like neo-soul because it's smooth.

Metaaaallllll \m/

Pretty much switch between chill, ambient stuff and rap haha

Calm shit like: Jamie xx, Majik, Flume, M83, Maribou State, Caribou, Four tet, George Fitzgerald, Jon Hopkins, Bob Moses, Floating Points etc.

Rick Astley.

Burial. Lots and lots of Burial.

None. I work alone and I work best in quiet. If there is background noise, then I'll listen to ambient sounds, usually rain.

Metal, hardcore, punk and Taylor Swift :3

Gangster rap yo! .. keep that shit mad thuggish all day, son.

Anything I feel like mostly. Right now? Perturbator, QOTSA, and Grimes

Radiohead always gets me in the zone

Usually either Progressive Metal or Pop.

At the moment I'm between Ayreon/The Gentle Storm and Carly Rae Jepsen/CHVRCHES

Mostly electronic-based music. I'm adding recently discovered songs to cave playlist on Spotify :)

Simon & Garfunkel

For the last 2 weeks : Brain.fm. It claims to have focus oriented music and if you ignore the UI, this is actually worth checking out. I think they are also working on an iOS app.

Liquid or Jazzy Drum & Bass.

Apple Music: New > Genre: Dance > Hot Tracks

Same for Electronic. Perfect design music, and you always get to listen to something new.

• So much hip hop and R&B.
• Spotify Discover Weekly
• Chance <3
• Tedeschi Trucks
• Soulection

Grammatik, Portishead or Massive Attack are my automatic go-tos, otherwise I like listing to talk radio or nothing.

I’ve found myself listening to a lot of Little People recently. Mainly I listen to smooth jazz and hip-hop instrumentals.

Tycho, Ulrich Schnauss, Helios. My spotify playlist:

I usually listen to some dub techno and deep house tracks and mixes.

Haitus Kaiyote is my ish right now

I actually pick an album/playlist/station based off what mood I'm trying to capture in my design.

check out designers.mx. I have a few mixes up there but it answers this question from a lot of designers' PoV

I basically vary between really good music and weird stuff, check out my stats.

Warm focus from BFF.fm and Camposanto’s Patrick Ewing. 2 hours of «instrumental music, walking the line between mellow & energetic, digital & analog, high & low BPM». It’s just perfect.

I like listening to this radio station: http://soulectionradio.com . Usually a good mix of new future beats stuff and some classic instrumentals.

I created a special playlist on Spotify for when I'm working in the office. It has some chill alternative hits. Give it a try and subscribe if you like it. I will update it monthly.

A lot of Ludovico Einaudi (Apple Music: https://itun.es/si/BUtC)

Roots Rock, Folk, Singer-Songwriter, New Americana and Country Rock according to Spotify's Year in Music.

Chiptunes up my productivity like none other. Shit gets me PUMPED

Really depends on the type of work I'm doing but film scores work for me because they have no lyrics.

If I need a boost, lately it's been this awesome Spotify playlist

I've got a playlist with over 2000 songs I made 5 (?) years ago with Spotify. I'm still baffled with the songs that's in it, it has anything and everything from classic piano, to heavy metal/ Viking metal

We just launched a series of mixtapes with my collective, goes from ambient to house and funk/disco. I think it can be a nice work music, no hard promotion intended.
