Music for working, programming, reading, …
Published and edited .…sleeping, meditating, yoga, after hour…. Mostly ambient, drone, (neo-)classical, dub, minimal techno, deep house, micro house, downtempo, slo-mo house, ketapop, schneckno, jetlagdisco, post-rock, lowfi hip hop…
I constantly update this list if I find something that I like. This collection is nowhere from finished and obviously mostly shaped by my taste in music. Recommendations are always welcome.
