I’ve enjoyed listening to psychedelic electronic music while programming since discovering Shpongle twenty years ago. I feel like it helps my brain get into the right mode somehow. I’m not familiar with the definitions of a lot of these sub-taxonomies but interested in listening to them!

I have a coding playlist I’ve put together over the years that is more towards the psybient/chillout end but includes some trance as well, I like the variation in speed and intensity: https://spotify.link/CHSvf399YDb

Is there something like this I can find for techno/trance/acid etc.? BPM, example songs, where to find more, lineage This site is awesome.

Beatport is the main hub for digging for electronic music. A lot of producers are active on soundcloud and bandcamp. Looking at specific labels in particular is usually pretty good to find similar-but-different music.

thanks, my only comment on this topic was going to be "where can I find more like shpongle". Well, I guess the second comment would be "when will somebody make a Generative Shpongle?"

It's great to see a link specifically about Psytrance on Hacker News. I enjoy trying to understand how Psytrance is made and if that is something you find interesting too checkout @Projector_music on youtube (no affiliation).

Any chance you typo'd that? I can't find it.

I use this site fairly often to just browse stuff that comes up for bands I like. YMMV.
