We've been down this path once before in August of last year, but today I'm running low on ideas and figured I'd recycle an old goodie. I often like to toss on chill, instrumental music when I'm working and seeing the massive success that the Lofi Girl YouTube station has had, it appears I'm not alone. Anywho, I'm eager to hear y'all's suggestions and if anybody has ideas for next week's topic, lemme hear it!
How we do
In this weekly series, folks can chime in and drop links to whatever it is they've been listening to recently + browse others suggestions.
If you like talking about music, consider following the org #music discussions for more conversations about music!
Gimme your best chill tunes! Note: you can embed a link to your song using the following syntax {% embed https://... %}. This should work for most common platforms!
Really looking forward to listening to y'all's suggestions! 🎶

LoFi stations on YouTube are 🔥 I have this Deep Light channel on heavy rotation lately (they run multiple similar live streams at a time). It's a bit more EDM-ish than LoFi though.
Nothing beats reggae on chill vibes for me... Even if I can't avoid focusing on the lyrics 😅 💆🏻♂️
Some suggestions without knowing if they've already been used in past weeks:
downloadedbought"Thanks for chiming in Fernando!
I really love house music and reggae... both are very fitting to bring up in this list.
And oooo, these are some great suggestions for upcoming topics to focus on. I love all these ideas, especially "tunes from your teenage days" ... you can expect these to all make an appearance soon! 😀
👏🏼
Chilllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Some playlists, I'm eating Chill music at the lunch. 🤩
Haha oh yeah! Nutritional and very chill. 😌
At this moment I listening that with a good cappuccino ☕
What you feel when listening this kind of music?
Or this punchline!!!
Oooo I dig the Tashoora tunes! I don't know how I'd describe them exactly, but they all feel really positive and give me airy, floaty vibes (that's not a musical term, just how I feel, haha). The way that the male and female vocals blend together kinda reminds me of Of Monsters and Men.
Anthera similarly gives me that airy, floaty feel. It's really nice. 🙂
This is cool stuff!
Not your body move when hear that kinda music. But your soul dance on it!
Anthera is the album name, Rubah Di Selatan (Fox In The South in english) is the band name.
Aha! I gotcha now. Thanks for clearing that up.
And right on! It does indeed make ya dance on the inside.
Cheers and Chill
Ooo I love some Future Islands! So glad you brought them up here.
I agree that they sit somewhere in the middle between chill and amped up... But, certain songs are pretty dang chill, like "A Song For Our Grandfathers"
I also think "Where I Found You" is pretty chill. It's like a torch ballad.
I'm a *tad* late, but I've been enjoying these absolutely amazing chiptune covers of Still Alive and Want You Gone from Portal and Portal 2 respectively.
Drinking coffee and listening to this fantastic version of "Coffee" by Sylvan Esso. ☕️🎶
These two..
Nice!! Appreciate ya chiming in with these. 🙌
Is this David Goggins approved?
