Get Down Tonight KC & the Sunshine Band

I'd bet that's not quite what KC & the Sunshine Band had in mind...

This is a general revision playlist, with a little bit of everything for everyone. Maybe you can revise from this playlist alone, in which case— great—but if not, find the genre of song that you feel works best for you and either:

i) Create your own revision playlist based around a single genre (BPM, vocal style, volume, etc.) as fewer noticeable changes will less distracting, and thus facilitate concentration.

ii) Try some more of the recommended, genre-specific playlists below.

I personally find that repetitive, non-vocal music is generally my main port of call (crack on Four Tet, Max Richter—job done), but we aren’t all the same; we have different moods, pace, and preferences. So crack on some tunes, crack some spines, and crack on with revision.

Cracking.

______________________________________________________________

Try out some Max Richter for a subtle backwash of eclectic sounds and French art-film music.

Or some Four Tet or Lusine for (mostly) non-vocal remixes.

Minimalism is focussed revision perfection.

Kings of Convenience for more chilled revision/ reading.

Varsity will be releasing a playlist a week every Tuesday. Tune in next week for the next installment, and feel free to e-mail in with suggestions: listings@varsity.co.uk

Varsity is the independent newspaper for the University of Cambridge, established in its current form in 1947. In order to maintain our editorial independence, our print newspaper and news website receives no funding from the University of Cambridge or its constituent Colleges.

We are therefore almost entirely reliant on advertising for funding and we expect to have a tough few months and years ahead.

In spite of this situation, we are going to look at inventive ways to look at serving our readership with digital content and of course in print too!
