Breakcore and drum’n’bass are all cool and shizzle but sometimes you just need something to chill to. Or maybe you simply want to block out those blabbing (but otherwise so nice) colleagues in that open landscape office with some non-distracting music. In that case some soothing ambient music is excellent but it’s still a matter of picking the right tracks so they really don’t make you go “da fuk is that?” when weird noises burst into your ears while the whole point is not to be distracted.
Since Soundcloud is such a great library of free, streamable and sometimes downloadable music, I thought I’d try to find me some good ambient tracks for general chillage. I conveniently packed what I found in a playlist for personal office-chillaxing, but since it’s shared you can find it right here and check it out. It might still grow, or not. Suggestions are welcome. share it, like it, whatever.
Another great playlist I ran into on my quest for chill tunes is this one from no other than the great electronic music producer Moby. Long Ambients1 is a list of long ambient tracks (du-uh) produced for doing yoga, catching sleep, meditate or whatever. They are also great for coding with headphones in loud offices I noticed.
There are links to various other download and streaming platforms from Moby’s site but conveniently you can stream them from Soundcloud again.
