At my work we usually put generic 10 hour nature loops with music playing but nowadays they’re all AI generated and I’m trying to find good long videos (preferably 4-10 hours) of fun music. Doesn’t have to be jazz, just music without too many words. What do you like to listen to when working?
Congolese 60s club music.
Dronezone, deepspace one, spacestation soma, the dark zone and some other channels like groove salad of Somafm commercial free radio
Server room ambience sounds, space station background noise (without music) or something of that sort. I find nature loops to be quite distracting so I never use them.
I found YouTube links in your comment. Here are links to the same videos on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Bossa Nova playlists are one of my go-tos. Maybe some high life, but that’s more aquired.
here’s my “chill mixes” playlist, mostly jazz and funk and mostly instrumental: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjTwYSdFX0dxvOC558x9gMI-sJQ5yixNn
HELL yeah, I love Ethiopian music
When it comes to “boring music” that you can play over a loudspeaker at your workplace, Paul Mauriat is probably the safest bet. I could also mention Pavel Ovsyannikov (USSR) and Wangjaesan Light Music Band (DPRK) but since these are from AES countries you might be in for an awkward convo if anybody asks about the background of the music. I also personally like listening to folk music from different cultures, especially saung (Burmese harp) music, but who knows if that’s going to be everyone’s cup of tea.
- Paul Mauriat - The Best World Instrumental Hits CD 1 (c. 1 hour)
- Pavel Ovsyannikov - To The Stars (c. 12 minutes)
- Pavel Ovsyannikov - Starry Turn (c. 40 minutes)
- Wangjaesan Light Music Band - Volume 1 (c. 1 hour)
- I can’t read what this video’s called but it’s music by U Ba Than (c. 1 hour)
Edit: Sorry, two of the links are wrong, one moment.
Edit 2: The links should be fixed now.
Makaya mccraven has been my go-to Jazz lately https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_b05lkQ5T4Y&list=RDEMLlhqQkE-M28S3Ja14a8bdQ&start_radio=1
IDK how long that playlist is, but there’s plenty on youtube of him. It’s all gold
