What's your favourite playlist for late night work? 🎧
I personally find that I'm at my most productive from about 7pm or 8pm in the evening. It's often when I do creative work and I love doing design tasks like concept feature mockups or adding new pages to the OpinionX website at night.
It's pretty essential that I 'plug in' with a good techno playlist (acid, trance, progressive house, deep house, etc.) that has very little lyrics and a nice high tempo. With the right playlist, I can usually knock out 6-8 hours of solid work with minimal breaks or distractions.
Any recommendations for good playlists? I made a Spotify playlist with over 28 hours of great focus techno but I love dipping into new playlists to change things up. Let's swap some recommendations! 🎧

Bookmarked, how did I not know about this! It's like brain.fm but the music's actually fun to listen to!
Lol this is ideal, thanks @petrnagy
@danielkyne I listened to your techno playlist all day yesterday, it's really great! My go-to has been Techno bunker by Spotify when the techno mood hits, but swapping it out for yours now :)
I love Techno Bunker by Spotify too :) I've definitely stolen loads of tracks from it for my own playlist!
Tobias van Schneider has a bunch of mixtapes (Spotify playlists) made with creative work in mind, and they are awesome! Found here.
My personal favorite is his most played list from 2016.
Awesome :) Will check this out tonight!
lo-fi hip hop stays undefeated for any activity
Lo-fi just isn't high enough energy for me at like 60-100 BPM. I feel like I need 120+ BPM if I'm going to be able to power through to early hours.
Lately, I've been listening to Reason the rapper (TDE signed him), J.Cole dropped his new album, some Kendrick oldies (mixtape days) and a little Drake here and there. I try focusing with reggae but that failed. I can't resist singing those songs.

I have never heard of this. Going to check it out, thank you 🙏
Everything Lana Del Rey.
Hahahaha love the stan mentality @dagorenouf
lo fi beats, 10 summer you won't forget on spotify.
I'm more of a morning person myself. But I love listening to rainymood.com to get myself in the zone.
Just a big fan of these two little playlists on Apple Music ->
