Sweet music goodness

Whenever I need to hibernate for long studying/writing sessions, I have to have the right music to get me through. Especially when I'm writing papers - even dry legal analysis requires something that triggers thought and creativity.

Usually the stuff I've been listening to when studying won't do it for me; I need something new, or something re-discovered, but something that won't be distracting.

This is why I love DJ sets like Dave's Lounge or SomaFM's Groove Salad - it's a collection of tracks I usually have never heard before, but that are lounge-y, mellow electronica that works well as white noise.

Sometimes I come across an artist or track that I instantly love. That just happened with a UK artist going by the name Canedrive. He has an EP and a great single on iTunes plus a collection of free sets available for download here.

His stuff's been on constant rotation, plus some tracks I downloaded from the Verve Remixed Box Set.

So groovy yet inspiring too!
