Eventhough i don't listen to this style of music myself, that did remind me of some other few mappers that do.

Good find Stojke

Yeah, great choice. This sort of simple beat with great rhythmic flow has been a staple of working songs for decades; perhaps even centuries. The textile industry was built on a thumping beat and even sea shanties were used to get crews working in unison, not to mention the old railroad & cotton field working songs that would just about get slaves through the day. They all share similar characteristics.

A good beat is just a wonderful way to get a rhythm into your work, and mapping does seem to be especially susceptible to it.

Your favourite mapping song.

Mine is a fairly recent addition to my library, but it's a track that really gets me into a flow with my mapping. Note the similarities to Stojke's. It's a very simple beat at its core with a thumping drum leading everything else, and at a similar tempo.

True, plus with addition of some lyrics (Human voice) that's no too loud (louder than instruments) tends to relax me.

Usually I listen to some 2004-2007 house music (30H!3 Starstrukk), but some times I find a random DVD with music when I search for something in my room and play the songs from there (I have no idea how I got most of them).

I found that song on one of my old computer hard drives (which is now part of an Period Correct middle year 2000 build).

When I am trying to figure out some mechanics and general game play/level design specifics I mostly listen to known songs that fit the map theme.

I love to listen to some classic Serbian songs when resting like : Zravko Colic - Jedna zima sa Kristinom (One winter with Cristina)

I find this highly subjective.

Of course, it's music.
