For intense modeling:

  • G Jones albums start to finish or his live sets on soundcloud - these make me think in ways I didn’t know I could while simultaneously making me semi lose my mind. Definitely very intense and drastic tempo changes
  • Mersiv: same as above
  • Rezz & deathpact albums or live sets - less intense and great for any type of modeling - consistent bpms
  • Flumes Hi this is Flume mixtape - also great for any type of modeling

For data entry:

  • really any type of house music is great but Fisher gets me in a groove

Whenever I have to read a lot:

  • Odesza
  • slow magic
  • motifv
 
Andrey Kolmogorov
  • Odesza

not related to modeling, but saw them live recently, absolutely killed it.

Donkey kong country - King K Rool final stage

 

EDM

No love for Bicep on here?

Real talk - the Industry HBO tv show soundtrack is pretty dope. Nathan Micay did the whole 1st season official OST. 

Not for everyone, but Synthwave for when I need to get a model stood up is rocket fuel. Personally really like Futurecop but there are a billion others
