I'm working towards that I think. I've done a trail run or two expecting to have music but my headphones haven't worked, so just had the sound of my footsteps and nature - was just as you say, very meditative.. Currently using a 150bpm playlist though to get to a consistent rhythm. So hopefully that'll build and I can start running free of music.
I DJ so have recorded a few sets at my ideal running pace (around 176 BPM) that help a lot with my breathing and cadence when I start to tire. I get where you're coming from with unmixed, varied playlists though. I would rather run without any music (which I do for training runs) than run with varied BPMs and gaps in playback.
