An important part of any scene is its environment, and little makes as much difference as Lighting and Music. A common question asked is what kind of music works for a dungeon. While that certainly depends on personal tastes, I can certainly recommend some music that I’ve used or have heard played at a variety of events. The below aren’t categorized in any way, but merely reflect a variety of options I have used or have enjoyed at various events and play parties. Usually these tracks or artists will evoke a very sensual experience, or possesses an darker edge to underscore the intensity or dynamics of a scene.
