Catffeinated” & “What is a Diet” by casandrang

Pop, indie or k-pop. Anything slow or upbeat, depending on my mood.

“Camouflage” by Jacob Patrick

I listen to a lot of different genres, so typically I’ll put on a playlist that includes a lot of Mat Kearney, Colony House, Haim, Daft Punk, and Hall & Oates, along with a whole bunch of classic rock singles.

“Arcade Madness” by Wesley Schoonderwoerd

Typically I can be found listening to Classic Rock, Pop Rock or Punk Rock when working on a project and can’t seem to get enough of New Wave Music lately. The radio just doesn’t seem to cut it for me since I tend to run into a song I dislike sooner or later, but I love the small surprise of not knowing what song will come on next. This is why I enjoy filling up playlists with all kinds of music genres – just hit the shuffle button and I’ll be good to go.

“Dungeons and Patterns” by queenmob

I like to listen to calm, instrumental, inspiring music. Either Jazz, or one of my favorites, movie soundtracks (original soundtracks) for fantasy or sci-fi movies. I like to imagine I’m part of a story when I listen to them :)

“Outlaw” by Evan Luza

For me, a healthy mixture of battle raps, and instrumental albums ranging anywhere from Tycho to Flying Lotus.

“Tropical Fleur” by fdegrossi

I like to make my designs listening to music to raise my level of concentration. A good example is instrumental music with few vocals present in the album Seven Lives Many Faces of ENIGMA

“Full Power” by gambil

Rock music from the ’70s, full of emotion blues, and even heavy metal riffs. They share one thing, the greatest invention of mankind…guitar.
