What kind of music do you listen to while you work?

Question

I'm a fan of EDM, classic rock, or live DJ sets while I work. Nothing get's me in the zone better than a EDC Las Vegas set from Marshmello, Flume, or Alison Wonderland 😎

Abadesi · Accepted Answer

I spend a lot of time creating content and I can't create words while hearing words so I tend to listen to classical music when I'm doing that kind of stuff. Or even silence my ultimate fave for focus! Otherwise I'll listen to what the Spotify algo recommends usually hip hop, indie, pop and techno/electro.

I listen to a lot of life sets too! Mostly house, disco, and generally things without lyrics - just good beats :)

Mark Rieck · Answer

My favorite genre for work is TripHop and my favorite artist is MothEquals:  https://www.youtube.com/user/MothEquals/videos

Other than that it's mostly electronic.

@abadesi I agree with you. Music is so pleasing and soothing, that it easily takes away my attention and focus. I prefer to listen to soothing instrumentals when I want to relax.

Ben Williams · Answer

@abadesi Agreed! When I'm writing, I can't listen to music with works. very distracting

99% electronic music. I really like listening to the live sets after each Tomorrow Land, UMF and akin. I'm more of a Tchami, Don Diablo or Paul Kalkbrenner type of guy though.

@henry_zhang3 I maintain a ridiculously massive lofi playlist if you're interested: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/52x15dC7GnV4U3YCZSCUdx?si=h8qEhAIdToaMaazTn9zUEg I never really promote it, I just use it and share it with a few friends. But it's been a work in progress for a few years, adding to it every month. So far 44 hours of nonstop lofi hiphop
