I need some appropriate music for my campaign that I'm running right now.
Themes for my campaign:
>D&D
>Mononoke-esque fantasy with spirits of nature, at least in the location they're in
>Disappeared race (elven) with left-behind arcane magitech
>Noblebright knight kingdom inspired by French and Spanish knights
>nomadic druids, spellwarriors and shamans inspired by celtic folk
>African/Middle Eastern kingdom to the far south of the continent specializing in mechanisms, science and human ingenuity
>Imperial German/Chinese/Fire Nation to the far west across the sea, anti-magic
I'm leaning towards Yoshida Brothers for the part they're in right now, and maybe some Two Steps into Hell for some more of the epic moments, but I'm stuck on where to look otherwise. Anyone got any recommendations?
Posting character art that's part of my inspiration.

Here's the same stuff I always post...
Dead Can Dance--
Mysterious and tribal transitioning to spiritual and Medieval. Good for setting a spooky scene. Recommended albums: Into the Labyrinth, Aion, Spirit Chaser.
>Nierika -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPOj58fNwrA
>The Arrival and the Reunion -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOauyq9Upxo
>Yulunga -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJqUbb-WuPQ&feature=youtu.be&t=2m31s
Tuatara--
Haunting. Jazzier than Dead Can Dance, but with similar applications. Recommended albums: Breaking the Ethers, Cinemathique (Trading with the Enemy is pretty decent too).
>Dark State of Mind -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfHV-KhjaJ0
>The Melting Sun – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nYP1LZRpZQ
>The Streets of New Delhi – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekpS4SfuBxE
Conan the Barbarian Soundtrack--
Powerful orchestral music. Makes you want to walk through doors without opening them first. Great for battle.
>Riders of Doom -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onGWF8mz1Zw&feature=youtu.be&t=1m36s
>The Orgy -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOUs6er51bI
>Anvil of Crom -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9j6nyEcIk98
Ian Anderson's album, Divinities:12 Dances with God--
Light orchestral music: sometimes whimsical, sometimes soaring, but usually fairly minimalist. Good for exotic foreign ports and travel when danger isn't menacing.
>In the Pay of Spain -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHJEe4oqc1M
>In Sight of the Minaret -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK6ue0vD4gI
>In The Moneylender's Temple -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQjkSbTKBv4
Chris Poland--
Instrumental thrash moving towards jazz; a bit Satriani-esque. Haunting and wistful but nevertheless energetic. Good for riding into the lost ruins of Kyzanaek trailed by saber-wielding ghouls.
>Alexandria -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIHY0xAR4jo
>Apparition Station -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXY_fRDF2pc
>Khazad Dum -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbL3imaBeYw

I'm not sure exactly what will be useful to you, but there's bound to be something you like. In any case, here are the best or most appropriate albums for those bands:
Dead Can Dance -- Into the Labyrinth, Aion, and Spirit Chaser
Tuatara -- Breaking the Ethers, and Cinemathique (Trading with the Enemy is pretty good too)
Ian Anderson -- Divinities: 12 Dances with God
Conan -- The original Conan the Barbarian Soundtrack (Conan the Destroyer is pretty decent too)
Chris Poland -- Return to Metalopolis

Looks like the 1st link is dead (but the others seem okay), so here's another one for it:
Dead Can Dance, Nierika -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhbQfQfoLEw

I recommend looking into tuvan throat singing, there's a few video on youtube you can download, turn into mp3 and dissect with Audacity.
The Witcher 3 has an excellent eastern-european themed ost, look into that too
Homeworld & Deserts of Kharak also have some memorable and exotic-sounding pieces
Finally, Myst 3 & 4' OST by Jack Wall are generally excellent ambient pieces and cover a variety of, well, ambiances
Do you guys just run playlists off Youtube or a music player, or do you use some actual software to handle sound clips and crossfades? I'd like to have the latter, but I'm too retarded to find a good one.

I just play mp3's on my laptop or mp3 player, but I gather that having your own music collection, even in pirated mp3 form, is becoming rarer these days.
I have folders where i sort my music to easily change music depending on situation or location.

I just run youtube playlists
The interstellar soundtrack!

Dark souls have some kick ass tunes for intense battles.
https://youtu.be/DzWFWCH_lTE
https://youtu.be/xr54gJZk_nM
https://youtu.be/m3CTxI_zbeU < most intense imo.
Shadow of colossus has alot of kick ass songs as well. But guess my overall taste is for more fantasy like fights against massive beings.

Anyone has something similar to share?

I once had a setting similar to your first one, used the theme of sword of the stranger as the theme just before the climactic fight. Party was on the edge of their seats.
Just look it up on youtube, its absolutely fantastic.
