The SloMusic YouTube Playlist: YouTubers (and SoundClouders) also like to slow pop songs beyond recognition, so they all sound like Sigur Ros. The creator also manages three popular Spotify playlists. This YouTube stream is the most famous clearinghouse for that music. Lofi hip hop radio – beats to relax/study to: If it’s possible to revolutionise unobtrusive background music, the lo-fi hip-hop “study beats” genre has done it. With everything muffled and softened, you can bathe in nostalgia for the music without being distracted by the lyrics. The Lifehacker Lonely Nostalgia Collection: YouTubers like to run classic songs through dampeners and other filters to make them sound far-off, like they’re drifting through an empty mall. Magical Mystery Mix: YouTube channel with international hip-hop, jazz, and vintage Japanese pop. (Their videos get taken down sometimes, so you might have to skip forward in the playlist.)
Each mix is an hour or more, and you can string them together with this YouTube playlist.
#JQBX STUCK ON LOGGING IN FULL#
A YouTube channel full of vintage instrumental and foreign-language DJ mixes. My Analogue Journal: This stuff is what every café should be playing in the background.
You can export the room’s song history into a Spotify playlist for solo listening. This popular JQBX room plays only chill lounge beats with minimal vocals. Follow Headphone Commute’s frequently updated Spotify playlist, which is archived into a new playlist each month.Ĭhill But Lit: The web app JQBX lets you sync with other Spotify users in a virtual room, and DJ for each other over the internet. If our other recommendations feel too chipper, this is your groove. A lot of the music here is melancholy, fit for a late-night drive. Headphone Commute: Music news and review site covering new instrumental music, leaning toward electronica and ambient. You can also subscribe to weekly emails with new tunes. The site currently features four channels: Poolside FM, Friday Nite Heat, Hangover Club, and Tokyo Disco.
#JQBX STUCK ON LOGGING IN MAC#
Poolside FM: Chill beats and silent 80s ads inside a retro Mac interface. But it’s 6.5 solid days of music (and counting), so you can keep hitting “skip” and never run out. You’ll run into some stuff that’s not at all conducive to work. If you use Apple Music, you can follow my giant playlist of instrumental and non-English-vocals music. For a more free-flowing sound, try Pure Ambient. Pure Focus: This official Apple Music playlist has 100 rotating tracks of mostly beat-driven electronica. You’ll get full genre pages full of Spotify-curated playlists. It might make you feel like a page of Chicken Soup for the Soul.įocus and Study: Search either of these two terms on Spotify and click the top result.
Every track is a soft, gentle piano piece, like something a character in The English Patient would play in an empty manor house on a rainy day in a flashback.
Instrumental Study: This official Spotify playlist includes dozens of artists with only a couple of tracks to their name, but all 146 songs sound like they could be on the same album. The Lifehacker Boléro Effect Productivity Playlist: Songs that (like Ravel’s “Boléro”) repeat a musical phrase over and over, building to a climax, to drive you forward to your goal. I personally believe Pink Floyd’s “Atom Heart Mother” suite fits Lev Grossman’s Magicians trilogy as much as Dark Side of the Moon fits The Wizard of Oz. This soaring, often instrumental genre is a great backdrop for reading sci-fi and fantasy. Personally, I load all their recommendations into a gigantic playlist and hit shuffle.Ĥ0 Cosmic Rock Albums: Music lovers have posted over 47,000 lists on Rate Your Music, and this is the list that helped me discover prog rock and its offshoots. Most recommendations are available on Spotify and YouTube. Excellent curation with descriptions of each album. Daily newsletter recommending instrumental albums and DJ mixes, with focuses on contemporary classical, ambient, and electronic music. Here are some of my greatest sources of background music for work, studying, and creativity.įlow State: This is my very favourite way to get new background music. So I collect instrumental and foreign-language music on a scale better measured by weeks than by hours. And if I’m working with words - which is most of the time - I can’t work while playing typical pop, rock or hip-hop.
