Looking for Music Recommendations for Working

Ambient dub techno is the way to go. Check out the labels Energostatic Records and Ultimae

I Awake's album The Core is one of my favorites between these: https://ultimae.bandcamp.com/album/the-core

To start off, here's a spotify playlist I like listening to on loop (it's oriental and beaty - but not distracting in my opinion)

As the playlist name suggests, it makes you feel like a Yakuza member https://open.spotify.com/playlist/52mozBnwzVFeIb8cBoW8rA?si=...

I like "The Wanderings of The Avener"

And the "Dredd OST", especially "Lockdown"

Spotify has great curated playlists, whether from other users, the company itself, or (sometimes) its algorithms.

I just search for "relaxing instrumental __________" (fill in a genre of your choice, be it classical or lo-fi or cello or bluegrass or whatever) and you should get a bunch of great hits.

I remember really liking https://brain.fm but their pricing is exorbitant [0].

Background music actually negatively effects cognitive performance. You enjoy the work more, though.

I had hit a deep moment in tranquility a while ago, while listening to Brian Eno's Music for Airports albums.

I don't remember exactly how, but I became one with the flow and nothing else matters
