The song in the clickbait title is “Weightless” by Marconi Union.

I actually feel more anxious listening to this song. The low synthesizer in background sounds like something is about to happen.

I see what you're saying about the synth, but what really makes me anxious is how the bass drum fades in and out.

It's at a steady ~60 beats/minute, but at about 1 minute 30 seconds, it starts to get quiet, at points becoming inaudible, and the song goes from "this has a definite rhythm" feel to a "this doesn't have a definite rhythm" (or "I'm not sure") feeling. Then it keeps going away and coming back again.
