I can hack/design for hours without even knowing it while listening to Kap Slap. It also helps you run a 5K faster than you might have originally imagined :) Anyone who likes remixes/house/dubstep I'd encourage you check it out! The spring break mix is an hour long and it's full of goodies. http://soundcloud.com/kapslap/kap-slap-spring-break-mix p.s. I'm only evangelizing this stuff so much because honestly if I set…

Love this, any more recco's?

Many already mentioned by others, but also Madeon and Hood Internet perhaps? 2 Many DJs mixes. Oh, and look up Paris DJs and if you like a bit of variety check out the Molested Laura mixes, especially #6. DJ Z Trip too.

For more chilled stuff, Bonobo and DJ Krush.

Di.fm (and its mobile apps) are pretty awesome too. they usually have awesome EDM.

http://musicforprogramming.net/ is much more useful.

I think they really got something right. I tried so many genres but always use their collection when I really need to focus. I especially like the 01(datassette) and 02 (sunjammer) compilations.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Which angry comments?

It's funny, i'm 2/3 of the way down this thread and so far most comments have been of the "i can't believe all these negative comments" ilk. I haven't seen one negative one yet. I guess they're lower down... i think HNers should have more faith in the upvote/downvote process.

true, same experience here often. I'm often reading things here after they've been on for a while, and I often have to read over comments complaining about other people being negative... I would probably agree with them, if only I would have seen any negativity besides the comments about negativity ..

I really like listening to online streams like soma.fm or di.fm when coding. Not just because their sounds are great (they are!) and put me into the zone (they do!), but because it keeps me motivated when I get the inner urge to click around the interwebs. Why? Because I know that while I'm listening and trying to stay focused on my coding, somebody else somewhere in the world is listening to exactly the same tunes at the same moment and is being productive. That really keeps my motivation to produce stuff high!

I like to listen to my turntable while coding. Getting up every ~15 minutes to flip/change a record actually helps me focus because it gives me constant tiny breaks. The mindless nature of the task also doesn't interrupt my thoughts but does give me a change to stretch my legs.

Wow, this application has gone even further. I saw it I think two years ago (or last year?) and you couldn't do that much with it.

It's very enjoyable because the loops are great.

Nothing to program to, as I enjoy alternative music (Limp Bizkit anyone?) and playing my playlists in iTunes while coding.

This is not good for productivity! I've just spent the last hour with my hands in the air.
