It’s been a few years I’ve only listened to music without any vocals in it. My favorite is tuning to SomaFM’s ambient-music stations like Synphaera, Deep Space One, Space Station and, if you are really into the slowest kind of ambient music, Drone Zone. Soma has many instrumental stations with specific genres like Fluid for instrumental trap.
Strong recommend for soma.fm. ONE of their stations will have what you’re looking for.
The French radio station Fip is really good background music. I can pretty much have that on constantly, and even the occasional announcements don’t really break my concentration, as I don’t speak French.
Anything with a fast beat and no lyrics.
I have a Spotify playlist I found called “drum’n’bass no lyrics” that fits the bill.
Also use any of the bonkers releases (favourite is bonkers 14) but they have lyrics… I’ve found that once I’ve listened to them a few times though I don’t notice the lyrics anymore…
Would you be willing to share your playlist link?
Sure thing… It’s not my playlist, I just found it on Spotify.

So many types of electronic music. Trance. EDM. House. A DJ.
Sub focus and Infected mushroom off the top of my head for a couple of good ones that help me pound out the computer work 😁
Awesome, I love this stuff
I have a public playlist on YouTube: The adventures of Bango Skank. It’s really eclectic with something for everyone. Just hit shuffle and enjoy!
I like instrumental electronic songs, stuff with soft emphasis on melody, but a definite beat to rely on and some good atmosphere and mood. Found a good few songs like that out of the demoscene, actually!

LukHash - especially the stuff without vocals sadly it seems I like the older stuff more, so my collection isn’t growing.
Thank you for this thread to get some more suggestions!
Are you me? LukHash is my go to. I can’t imagine how many times I’ve listened to Virtual Burnout and Better Than Reality in the last year.
Cheers to good taste!

White and Pink noise where shown to increase concentration in ADHD people
Of course, I have this tab in Mull lying around for 3 weeks and in one week it will be auto-deleted!
Gotta get some white noise!
I have a playlist on Apple Music of this. Also brown noise. I wonder if I should only uses certain noise “colors?”
Hahaha I have no idea why noises have colors at all
If you think of low frequencies as “red” and high frequencies as “blue”, corresponding to the range of the visible light spectrum, then pink noise has more “red” and less “blue”; white noise has equal amounts of all frequencies, etc.
Brown noise is what I sleep to
Enya can be helpful for me. Otherwise soothing classical music, the fast and loud works can be a little too distracting. It also helps me to listen to the same thing when doing a task to train my brain to focus when listening to it.
Halo soundtracks
Nightcore’d stuff, when I need to get amped up to do something not interesting, stuff like apocalyptica for relaxing/wind down
I have a channel on cytube for that exact purpose, feel free to hop on if that’s your jam ! It doesn’t require you to sign in or anything
