    Not a playlist but if I need to tune out the outside world and my own brain, I usually go for psytrance. It’s stupid and repetitive enough not to grab my attention, but varied enough I don’t bore out.

    I also tried techno/schranz but it’s too repetitive, and I enjoy synthwave too much to focus.

        Not to be disparaging but… most psytrance sounds the same. Any 24/7 radio should do the trick.

        I do however have recommendations for synthwave

            Carpenter Brut and Perturbator are amongst my favorite artists. OG French synthwave projects along with Kavinsky, but darker and more aggressive than most.

            Mega Drive is always a safe bet, along with Dance with the Dead, Laserpunk or DEADLIFE.

            For a more '80s-pop sound, you might enjoy Fury Weekend.

            Not synthwave by very adjacent, I’m a huge fan of Master Boot Record and Keygen Church (same guy), but it’s more metal but played by a SoondBlaster 16 sound card from the '90s.
