I like Rachmnanoff’s Isle of the Dead, its pleasantly menacing
Edit: yall are taking elevator too literally haha, the idea is elevator/background/ambient music that sets a temperature but not a focus
Oh probably Local Forecast by Kevin MacLeod.
Baby shark on loop.
The elevator will take roughly an hour to descend 100m without an access card that only I have.
Are you The Devil™️?
Heavens no, his elevator takes a lifetime and you don’t get to listen to baby shark anywhere as much.
CanadianSuperDevil, Beelzaboot
Girl from ipanema melody. Sorry, it’s the rules.
Why? Just listen to it.
Multiple versions of in the hall of the mountain king.
Hell by the Squirrel Nut Zippers.
It might help to explain that my evil lair is inside an active volcano.
I’m torn between silence and something really happy and upbeat like PonPonPon.
The silence forces then to face their own inner demons, but the upbeat music will ruin their badass aesthetic.
Lullabies shifted into A minor and slowed down. Also that subsonic that they use in horror movies. I want unwanted visitors to be on edge, jumping at shadows.
Alternatively, 7 what’s new pussycats followed by 1 its not unusual. Just for the (in)sanity check.
The stampede music that Simba was caught up in, in the lion king animated film.
Very innocuous, even tongue-in-cheek, but never intimidating, almost verging on almost boring to someone who doesn’t listen closely.
So… something like these:

- https://youtu.be/TTumhdbMRS8 (but instrumental)
- https://youtu.be/gW7RUStsbuc
Edit:
Added two more tunes
The guys who did the Evil Genius soundtrack already had to select music for it.

It would be a smooth jazz cover of Judas Priest’s Breaking the Law
100% this. A Vampiric Tango. I’ve been building my world lately and one nation is the Vampirium of Lemriss. Been listening to this for some inspiration. A beautiful blend of seductive and menacing.
Just a normal elevator with very high buttons, with a midget as bellboy jumping to reach them while this is playing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1z4JfxFb6c
Left Bank Two by the Noveltones. Well known to British people of a certain age. It was used during the gallery section of an art-based TV show for children. The art was sent in by viewers.
It’s jaunty and relatively innocuous. Unless you hear it a few hundred times and then, well. Insert tortured screams here.
