I’ve been in mad work mode for the last 2 weeks and haven’t really been vibing to anything new.

Usually while working [writing/editing] I get distracted if the music is too ‘organic’. If there are too many words or complex melodies or singer / songwriters ‘bearing their souls’ then I’ll find myself stopping to listen.

I work better to straight up beats or hip hop.

The problem though is that it’s hard listening to drum and bass or whatever really early in the morning. Lately I’ve been ‘easing’ into the day with a little dub / steppers / rockers / reggae. It gets a positive vibe going. I’ve found some good work session music at dub session podcasts.

Here’s a link to one.

Each one is long, like an hour of music–and you can fast forward past the cheesy opening sound-effects.

Happy skanking.
