Quite a few good streams on http://somafm.com/

I definitely recommend the defcon station - literal music for hacking https://somafm.com/defcon/

defcon is great! another really cool one is Mission Control

I should really donate on monthly basis, i listen to that radio a lot

Goats yelling like humans in G major.

Can you hook me up with a source? I'd check the torrent sites, but I want to support the artists ya'know.

Trip hop, metal, or asmr. I don’t really feel like music I enjoy with discernible lyrics distract me though.

Ozric Tentacles. No vocals in 30 albums except for 1 or 2 songs. I can't code well with words going on. Some would say I can't code well without words going on, either. LOL.

Tycho. Also no vocals.

https://mynoise.net which is a fantastic source of ambient sounds to block out outside noise or help to focus/relax. Made by a very knowledgable sound engineer.

I'll just leave this here. 8 hours of concentration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zk26FUe38y0

Helped me work through many a days.

Otherwise anything ambient that I find on youtube :)
