For me nothing beats 90s ambient dnb for coding. There's something about drum and bass that really gets me in flow.

Also Big Beat, for me. Crystal Method's Vegas reaches into my brain and flips the time to code switch.

Also Fluke - Risotto. Similar vibes.

I love progressive techno for this. No vocals and sounds are in the lower frequency range. Easy to tune out.

then you'll adore this "deep progressive techno" mix playlist by artist "Dub Element" with 50 hours of the finest rolling deep pumping oldschool rave techno. Also does d'n'b and dub techno..

I discovered long ago that psytrance/goa was perfect for me. It works almost as well as caffeine and I can work for hours and hours as long as it’s blaring.

same.

before it was a job, I was programming exclusively to trance.fm (sadly gone)

I've had three main tracks that I've used for the past 8 months or so. The first one is a 1-hour mix of "In Motion" from the soundtrack to The Social Network: https://youtu.be/bCxPmMbZjuk The second is a 1-hour mix of "It Has to be This Way" from the soundtrack to Metal Gear Rising Revengance: https://youtu.be/jKGDib6qZBo The third is a 1-hour mix of "Clock Tower" from the soundtrack to Dead Cells: https://youtu.be/p…

You're my kind of person

I think you meant "standing here, I realize, you are just like me, trying to make history"

When I'm really trying to get shit done I'll put on some German industrial music like Bagger 258. The lyrics don't bother me because I don't understand them. I find the harsh aesthetic helps to keep me from getting distracted with side quests. Those little voices in my head become inaudible over the nonsensical (to me) lyrics.
