I sort of do this, but I pick one CD. Usually it's Keith Jarrett but Bach works as well. Especially the harpsichord concertos.
or Keith Jarrett playing Shostakovich's Preludes and Fugues?
Try Dixon or Four Tet to start:
I've listened to Brain.fm since this past February, and it is truly amazing. They have Focus, Relax, and Sleep, but I've only ever listened to Focus. It's like this steady stream of some kind of electronically generated music that changes each 30 minutes. I set it to 2 hours, and then I usually take a small break when it ends.

How 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.
I'm all about Chillstep. Repetitive beats and sparse lyrics helps me focus like a champ. I've converted several coworkers to it over the years.

I have to clarify: in which of the possible meanings do you use tge term "EDM" here? The Skrillex type of post-brostep, pop deep house inspired top40 bangers, all electronic club-friendly dance music or all electronic music in general? Like "techno" or "dubstep", this word can mean very different things for different people.
Yes, I find the sub-genres hard to describe. Future Sound of London. Burial. Four Tet. Boards of Canada. Some DJ Shadow. Suggestions welcome, actually, it's all a newish field for me...
