It's not free, but I listen to brain.fm while writing code at work: https://www.brain.fm/app

I have found my ability to focus is increased when listening to their "Focus" music.

Opeth Bloodbath Leprous Soen Haken

Mostly prog metal that I know well already. I find it hard to focus with music I have not heard before, but can quickly go into very deep focus mode with something well known.

I listen to almost any music I know well, typically in album order. Novelty in the background is terrible for my attention.

When lines > quality, deep/tech house is good: Stimming, and Oliver Schories

While thinking/reviewing/learning, generally instrumental jazzy/stoner trip-hop stuff:

Jan Jelinek - Loop Finding Jazz Records: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hIgBEXuQD8

Fila Brazillia - A Touch Of Cloth: https://youtu.be/RjuP9cvgLic?t=4m56s

Also Kruder & Dorfmeister/Peace Orchestra, John Abercrombie, Hidden Orchestra (highly recommend the albums Archipelago and Wingbeats).
