IREC: Playlist

The essence of my music tastes can be boiled down to two categories: electronic, and “anything-playing-in-the-background-of-a-YouTube-video”. There are, of course, exceptions to this.

The links here are of digital downloads, physical stores, or streaming links, prioritising official uploads where possible.
