Music Suggestion Requests

in Style

I often find myself wanting to hear some new music, but I'm overwhelmed by the choices that exist now that I use both Spotify and Pandora.
I wonder if, given Icrontic's diverse music taste, I or others could ask for suggestions based on some criteria?

For example:
I'm working right now, and I want some good mellow and rhythmic background music. What do you guys recommend?

    You might try Steromood. You type in your mood or what you're doing, it starts playing appropriate music.

    I have a spotify playlist for Ambient Postrock stuff, most of which meets your criteria.

    I would particularly recommend the artist: Explosions in the Sky

    I really like Blue Sky Black Death. Their albums have decent variety, I think you'd enjoy their NOIR album quite a bit.

    Fennec's new album is pretty mellow. (Spotify URI.)

    Might I suggest something Latin like Electrotango.

    INexus or OMG & Shoackwave. It's the stuff I have on while studying

    Its not really a streaming site. They've got articles, videos, and loads of free mp3's.
    I've found some of my favorite bands through there and rediscovered old bands I forgot about.

    Some of it is not quite my taste, but its been totally worth it for the random bands I probably never would have discovered.

    Lately I've been hooked on the band Haim thanks to them.

    the morning benders (aka "Pop etc") is a pretty mellow band I found there.

    digitallyimported.com for anything electronic - the ambient stuff is great to listen to while at work. I'm a fan of little/no vocals, so the selection there really hits the spot.

    Maybe not rhythmic but definitely good for background music.

    I frequently go to my favorite albums on the iTunes Store and browse the "Listeners Also Bought" section. It's worked surprisingly well and I've found some really amazing albums that way. I'm not keen on singles so that works better for me than most streaming things.

    The very definition of that is the album Audio by Blue Man Group.

    I want to thank everyone for their awesome suggestions. I settled on DI.fm per @NiGHTS‌. It's pretty great, keeps me in touch with my eurotrash roots.
