Not sure what genres you're into (you didn't mention any) but if you enjoy electronic music then ambient/downtempo/dub techno might suit you. Try looking at some of Ultimae Records discography.
Protip: run a big playlist of music like this in random mode and long crossfader (15-20 seconds), preferably also with replaygain on to even out volume between albums. Most tracks will almost perfectly segue into one another, making for a seamless listening experience for hours upon hours on end.
▶ No.899562>>899567

lol what
this would be a recipe to disaster if some of them use different tuning or tempo, I mean, you'll get a real cacophony during these crossfades.
▶ No.899567
>>899562
Not at all. If it didn't work I wouldn't recommend it. Most of the tracks are beatless or even pure ambient in the beginning and end. Many of the albums are mixed so that their tracks crossfade into one another.

Crossfaded playlist emulates a continueous mix of everything that's in the playlist. Key is long fades (like 20 seconds) and music that is suitable for that - techno tracks which have beats at the beginning and end are less suitable, but it works quite well with downtempo tracks where the crossfaded transitions are beatless/ambient. It tends to work good with most of Ultimae's catalogue - so good that if your thoughts are busy with something else you often won't even notice track changes (changing tracks can be distracting, so if OP wants to eliminate any possible distractions then it should serve well).

yeah but beatmatched continuous mixes will have better energy flow from beginning til end, more consistent sound and all round smoother transitions.
Maybe for downtempo it's a little harder to find proper mixes and/or I can understand wanting to pick your own tracks perhaps, but generally if you're going to listen to any sort of 'techno' genre you might as well listen to professionally mixed continuous mixes rather than having a shuffled playlist that goes all over the place with fade ins/outs between tracks and mismatched beats, just tbh tbh.
Obviously do whichever you like and what works for you, but I'd just like to recommend shit like the above mentioned albums/mixes because personally I think it's amazing stuff and the 'zone' you can get into while listening to 40m+ consistent and continuous mixes like that is perfect for getting focused in my experience.
Anyhow I'd also like to recommend all mixes by ASC, which range from pure ambient, to downtempo, to polyrhythmic techno. and dnb. He has a lot of them for free on his blog and mixcloud and they're all top class. (Search "Auxcast" or "ASC Deep Space")
