My work day is powered by my SoundCloud mix, “Music to smooth my work days” and one mix by Sam Feldt, in particular, works well for me today:

I really like the change around 20:40 or so but this is the sort of track you can just run for the hour or so it lasts and focus on some work. I like Sam Feldt’s mixes on SoundCloud, really good for those times I don’t want to mess with playlists and let something different run while I work. He often includes quotes in the beginning of these long mixes. I wrote about another one I like a while ago:

Steve Jobs just makes this mix for me

One thing I would love to see is SoundCloud’s playback controls integrated into my Mac’s music playback controls when I am listening to SoundCloud. I keep hitting the “play/pause” button when someone wants to speak to me and it launches iTunes or continues a track in an open iTunes playlist by mistake.

I also just found a playlist with all of Feldt’s “mixtapes” (very retro) on SoundCloud which I am going to dive into one day when I have a big writing project:

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Update (2016-01-26): Sam Feldt replied to my post tweet on Twitter a few minutes after it was published. I get a kick out of quick feedback like this!
