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
Battle without honor or humanity, just so whichever hero is coming to kick my ass is forced to walk in slow motion so I have time to release the murderbots.
Or if we’re going for wtf-factor, probably https://youtu.be/V2ydY-iRPX0
Probably like some Brian Eno
Oh probably Local Forecast by Kevin MacLeod.
MacLeod is so great! Good pick.
I would probably go for Urban Conspiracy by Jules Gaia. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=3_6ka9EV1i4
Maybe just alternate between these two.
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.
Multiple versions of in the hall of the mountain king.
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.
The stampede music that Simba was caught up in, in the lion king animated film.
It would be a smooth jazz cover of Judas Priest’s Breaking the Law
Why? Just listen to it.
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:

The guys who did the Evil Genius soundtrack already had to select music for it.

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.
Hell by the Squirrel Nut Zippers.
It might help to explain that my evil lair is inside an active volcano.
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
