Here's a playlist of Chill Hop songs I've found over the year: https://open.spotify.com/user/iwillscoop/playlist/2kyAGCBe20...
This is awesome! Thank you! I love the vibe. I knew about Tokimonsta and Fat Jon (Soundgirl Personal is an awesome song) but the rest is super new to me. Also Emancipator is in there which I love and completely forgot about - not quite hiphop though :) Check out Sketches in Colour by Kaiori Breathe for something cool like Emancipator-ish. You probably know about Nujabes, but specifically check out the Samurai Champlo…
Nujabes got me into the genre, along with a lot of people I know! I'll look into Kaiori Breathe and Zero Seven.

#313My favorite music for programming is the ambient music of Lucette Bourdin [0] [1]. Horse Heaven , the first album listed on [0], is one of her best and a great starting point if you're new to her music. I like her work because it is (with only a few exceptions) undistracting, yet has enough variety that if I do choose to tune into it for a few moments, it's pleasant. There's lots of other good stuff on the Earth Mant…
Agreed that undistracting ambient is the best coding music :)
My favorite bands / albums are
- AES Dana: Leylines, Perimeters and Pollen
- Astropilot: Solora Walk 2, 3
- Carbon Based Life forms: Hydroponic Garden, Refuge, Twentythree, World of Sleepers
- Connect.Ohm: 9980
- H.U.V.A. Network: Ephemeris
- MIKTEK: Elsewhere
- Solar Fields: Mirror's Edge, Movements, Origin #1 & 2, Random Friday, Until we Meet the Sky
- Stellardrone: Echoes, Invent the Universe, Light Years, A Moment of Stillness, On a Beam of Light, Sublime
- Zero Cult: Where Rivers Have No Name

I have also been loving Brain.fm—no other "focus music" I have tried has worked so well. If anyone here tries it and likes it, there is actually a pretty good discount on various subscription types that expires in a few hours: https://shop.theawesomer.com/sales/brain-fm-lifetime-subscri... The discounts are not actually as steep as the site claims (for example, lifetime is normally $150, not $200), but they are still…
Currently the Digg Store has a lifetime subscription for $39: https://store.digg.com/sales/brain-fm-lifetime-subscription
thanks for the link, purchased!

#317I like to listen to stuff like minimalistic Detroit techno mixes from people like Jeff Mills or Robert Hood. Loopy simple techno that slightly changes over the course of minutes while blending in and out of the previous and next song in a subtle way. Yet it's quite hard and energetic compared to most Berlin styles of minimalistic techno. Lately I've been picking up on retro Wave kind of music, I see Com Truise is on…
I really get inspired by the ideas of Detroit techno that they put into the music. Especially Jeff Mills, he really is an artist in the broadest meaning. It is curious that Detroit techno never really became popular music for the programming scene, since it's themes are related.
>Detroit techno is also scary music, scary precisely because its unforgiving repetition reminds us of our immersion in remorseless mechanised, computerised systems. Detroit fetishises this relationship: take drugs, jack your body to the rhythm of the machines

#318It remind me of the FTL OST Good for programming too !
Re: Music for Programming
#319How great. Can't wait for "Music for tech-savvy young adults with interest in retro games" or "Music for Asian women aged 35-45".
Before these industry-disrupting services emerge though, I guess I'll just stick to music that I like.

#320I have two rules when I’m listening to music while programming: 1. My favourite genres are K-Pop and Industrial – it helps that they are also very energetic genres — and my rule is that I can only listen to them while programming. Helps to really put me in the “you’re working now” space (thanks to Julian Shapiro for this tip) 2. I pick one song and repeat it for the entire day, sometimes for several days in a row. I’…
"My rule is that I can only listen to [my favorite genres] while programming. Helps to really put me in the 'you’re working now' space."
This sounds insanely unpleasant. Why would you do this to yourself?
