pretty much everything, hiphop, drum'n'bass, breakz, pop, rock... In the office i'm always listening to music while coding, makes it easier to filter out background noise.

#34filtermusic.net - has a radio station for every mood. I usually listen to hard rock, drum N bass and 80s music. Evenings are a good time for movie soundtracks. There's a station for that, too.

#35I'm a big fan of Zoe Keating for coding music, and as a bonus she recently switched to bandcamp so there's quite a lot of it streaming: http://music.zoekeating.com/
Quite a lot of layers to concentrate on, but for some reason it also just works to get me in the zone.

Wow that's exactly what I listen to. It's a good combination isn't it, electronica and classical?
Indeed. Can you list yours that I haven't listed already? One can never have enough. Edit: also, yeah. I thought my combo was pretty rare.
I mix heavy metal and classical. Which usually raises eyebrows.

Justice, Digitalism, and Hypnotic Brass Ensemble
Hypnotic Brass Ensemble isn't strictly electronica but their music is really cool (no words too). http://vimeo.com/1418890
I have a Ratatat station and Justice station on Pandora which I've tuned individually over the past year.

#40I switch between alternative and new metal, electronic (house / trance), and hip-hop / rnb. Pandora.com is awesome.
