What music (or sounds) do you like to listen to when you’re in focus mode?
I’m a lofi fan, but one of my all-time favorite work-to playlists is the soundtrack from the Ping Pong anime: Spotify
High energy, no lyrics. Only downside is I feel deep in my soul that I need to watch it as soon as humanly possible every time I listen 
If I’m writing (words or code), it’s usually jazz or classical.
If I’m debugging, it’s usually something heavy: especially grungy grunge, or thrash metal, etc.
It’s definitely lofi for me. I would say I learn more toward chillhop- hip hop beats. However, I could totally be down for some FKJ or Pink Martini.
The chillhop playlist + ambient coffeehouse combo that is available in the Virtual Workspace is straight magic for me. I never focus better than when I’ve got that going.
That Ping Pong anime soundtrack sounds good, though, @Francesca ! I might need to pull that out when I need some extra motivation.
This is a good point–I can’t listen to lyrics when I’m doing most things, but if I’m drawing or illustrating, lyrics are great.
lol Iistening to deep-anger-music while debugging is perfect.
I haven’t listened to M83 in awhile! I’m adding this to my Spotify–good stuff
You know I’m the same 
Thank you for sharing this Sam, I’m fav-ing for listening later today when I’m in head-down mode 
I really like adding that coffee shop sound with my focus music, too–I don’t work in coffee shops so much these days, and I miss having just ambient people sounds around me while I’m working.
Btw, welcome to the community! 
Music is very personal, so one person’s chill list may not work for others.
Here’s a few lists that I listen to:
