A peculiar mixing of genera. Works for me though. Sometimes the soundtrack even syncs with what I'm doing at the moment ...

I usually listen to podcasts or audiobooks, really - depends what I'm doing. If I'm doing a lot of talking to characters and such, then I listen to old game soundtracks. If I'm looking for fights, podcasts don't split my attention too bad.

I find the Zelda OSTs to be very fitting. I generally listen to tabletop podcasts like Oneshot.

[Abyssmo]

While I don't really think some of them fit in with Dwarf Fortress, these are my personal favorite soundtracks to listen to:
LISA: The Painful RPG
LISA: The Joyful
Red Haze
Monster Hunter World
Fallout 1 & 2
Kenshi

But by the end of the day it really depends on what kind of character I'm in the mood to play as. Whether it be a murderous vampire overlord, a brave traveler who aspires to become their own hero, or a stranger exploring an unfamiliar land the list never really ends with soundtracks I listed.

Good to see someone mention Lisa soundtracks - some of the tracks from those games aren't entirely fitting for a fantasy setting but others definitely still work. I'd recommend the Pointless' soundtrack as well.

"Epic music", live or some couple hours long collection, from YouTube.
Keep in mind, I play vanilla DF without any addons, and its musical repertoire is kind of short.
What do you think, does "epic music" fit DF?

Anything instrumental so words don't F with my focus, lately this has grown on me:

Someone mentioned Monster Hunter World OST. It's hecking splendid as a self contained album, it fits DF pretty well too

[PlumpHelmetMan]

Recently been listening to the Divinity: Original Sin 2 soundtrack during my adventures and found that certain tracks really enhance the DF atmosphere (that both games have cannibal elves is merely a bonus).

[Loud Whispers]

Dungeon synth is such a good recommendation. Two of my favourites for adventure mode are Aokigahara and A letter for Carmilla. They get that fairy, tragic, otherworldly quality I usually experience when imagining my adventures, sitting around a campfire in the dark

[Untrustedlife]

I listen to this playlist on shuffle, it has over 1000 songs.

edit: someone nabbed my password and posted "Black Metal"

[ArrowThunder]

I generally mix it up. Sometimes I just listen to whatever music I've been crunching on recently, but oftentimes I pick stuff that sets the mood. Personally I am fond of pokemon emerald's title theme when I am starting a quest/setting off with a new adventurer. I listen to open world game music for exploration (skyrim, witcher, etc) but whenever challenging/dangerous combat rolls around I generally switch to FPS soundtracks/metal.

[Superdorf]

Ooh, I just remembered these two beauties!

[Nidilap]

I like to use Zelda music and other rpg videogame tunes.

Whenever I'm in an inn I play either the inn music from WoW or "Around the Fire" from the Skyrim soundtrack.

The Conan OST(s) adds a lot to the low-fantasy elements of going into a lair and killing a giant monster too.

[Nil Udoskosh]

Anything by Vàli is unintrusive  and soothing, while also reminding me of the original soundtrack.
Skogslandskap
Forlatt

Black Hill also does great instrumentals. Here's my absolute favourite album of theirs:
Rivers&Shores

Ensemble Galilei is great if you want something medievalesque.
Following the Moon

If you want some New Age in your medieval fantasy, David Arkenstone is your choice:
Celtic Journeys

[Magistrum]

For dwarf fortress in general, everything by Wind Rose.
