A Gigawatt Jukebox Themed Work Day Playlist
Today’s geeks work hard and play hard. Some are studying, eyes crossed from hours of endless reading. Some are earning a wage in the office after a long commute. Others are at home, exhausted from running a household. Whatever you’ve been slaving away at lately, you deserve an extra day off. Enjoy your Labor Day Holiday. When you get back, we’ve got a fresh playlist to make your work days go smoothly. Gone are the days of Muzak and easy listening. Time to relax and focus on your tasks at hand with some chill, movie soundtrack, and retro tunes.

A chilled happy/dreamy remix of a Neil Young classic.

An elegant mix of ambient and techno-electronic music with lamenting vocals and complex beats.
