I've spent hours listening to this kind of ambience while working, but for me it's a little too bland. Video game music on the other hand is perfect for working. I've had this one on repeat for the past 10 days.

If you like video game music in the background, you might like these sites:

Rainwave (general VGM): https://rainwave.cc/all/

Jet Set Radio (more high-energy, but they have a lo-fi station or two now): https://jetsetradio.live/

Nightwave Plaza (not exactly VGM, but vaporwave makes good ambient music IMO): https://plaza.one/

I used to love Jet Set Radio Future, and the music was a big part of that.

You should like the JSR site then! The creators have put a lot of love into their site.

They have multiple music stations, multiple “TV” channels, a graffiti board, and a chat box that all try to recreate that Jet Set vibe. Just be cautious opening that graffiti board at work...

Same for me. I've found maybe a dozen or so creators who put together large (2-10 hour) playlists of game music, mostly from older RPGs (or even better, custom remixes.) Some also have mixed in ambient thunderstorm/rainstorm effects

They've been fantastic for helping me both stay relaxed and focus in on whatever I happen to be doing

Upvote for video game music, my go to is final fantasy sound track:

Also, the Watch Dogs 2 soundtrack, literally all of it.
