What's your go to 'in-the-zone' music playlist?

Question

When I need to do deep work I like putting earbuds, starting a music playlist and getting to work.

Normally I go for ultra repetitive, no (or minimal) lyrics. Doesn't matter what. Every day exactly the same.

These days I keep playing this Youtube Music Radio playlist I accidentally generated from the song `Tobtok - Satellite (feat. Arinn) [Official Lyric Video]` ([Link](https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcMWqJRm2PTJ7EpgBQSg1H2r4LO3zqHFS&si=YQYY5JpGiUbTWA3j))

What's your always on music for while doing deep work?

The no lyrics thing doesn't work for me, but I like the design of this website if you find it does work for you: https://musicforprogramming.net/latest/

I have an entire YouTube Premium profile dedicated 100% to music I listen to while working, and it's my default YouTube account on my normal Chrome profile I use to browse the internet, which helps me from falling into browsing stupid videos.

I have two big music playlists, one with my "normal" YouTube account that I had been using for years, the second with my music-dedicated YouTube account that I started using more-recently.

I've linked to one of my favorite sets in each list:

Generally, whatever focus mix I find first on Spotify.

I also made my own focus mix from game soundtracks, either fantasy or scifi themed.

But when I need focus for long periods to get something really important done, there's only one tool for the job: Eurobeat

I often listen to LofiGirl, using ~30-minute songs as a Pomodoro clock or listening to live sessions to work without time constraints.

I love exploring SoundCloud, especially the #Deep genre to get myself into the zone: https://soundcloud.com/silent-season/fldexp-peorth-ss22?si=78fb55fd9acd48febbe9831976686b77&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing
