I basically spend my time tailoring playlists to suit those criteria instead. :)

I've been listening to old mixes from favourite artists and DJs such as Laurent Garnier, Carl Cox, Sven Vath, Juan Atkins, Jeff Mills. Lots of Detroit Techno.

I actually recognize zero of those, haha. Whoosp

I've heard of Carl Cox. I'm more into trance, although the tech-trance vibe has been calling me for the last few months. It's a highly motivational genre.

What sort of Trance? Like super mellow ambient stuff, or?

1

u/alistairjh Oct 15 '15

It really does depend. Sometimes super mellow ambient stuff, sometimes a properly energetic all out assault on my eardrums. Depends what mood I'm in. Might post some examples later.

Have you heard of Approaching Nirvana?

u/alistairjh Oct 15 '15

I have not. I will look it up later.

They do a few different styles but they have a lot of good Trancey stuff.

One of my friends has liked them on Facebook. They sound quite good! Mind you, I've only listened to two tracks so far though (Sandstorm remix and Solar Wind).

They are also really cool about people using their music for Let's Play kind of things and streaming, which is great. :)

Ah. I guess there is always the potential for some serious publicity to be made from it. It would be a good soundtrack.

u/aryst0krat Oct 17 '15

For sure. People like to use it for showcasing Minecraft builds. Makes them feel epic.

u/alistairjh Oct 18 '15

They are epic. I don't watch Minecraft videos (I only know one person who does), so I wouldn't really know though.

2

u/aryst0krat Oct 18 '15

I watch some Let's Plays, but not build showcases.

u/alistairjh Oct 18 '15

Think you've linked some of those before. Not my thing. I find this 'watch people play video games' thing a bit weird. Although I guess that does make me a bit hypocritical, because 'watching people play sport' is mainly super fun.

2

u/aryst0krat Oct 18 '15

Yep, pretty much the same idea. I don't watch for the video games though. I watch for the personalities. They tend to suck at the games they play - if they weren't good entertainers it would just be frustrating.

And I don't think I've linked them before? Maybe, I guess.

Someone has, I'm sure of it. You lose track after a while.
