Techno and heavy metal.
Minecraft soundtrack
Deep House
Instrumental heavy metal.
Post rock for me. It’s a wide genre that is sometimes classical in nature to punk metal.
House music. Nearly everyday while I code. Mostly Chris Luno sets.
video game music is designed to pump you up without breaking your concentration.
almost anything with lyrics in it is a no go for me if my goal is to have background music to relax/study to. also lofi.
Psytrance is ideal. Designed for dancing yourself into a trance, perfect for energetic flow state concentration, like studying.
There’s a channel on Youtube called My Analogue Journey, I usually chuck that on.
Drum’n’Bass
Yep. Fast, repetitive, as little vocals as possible.
Usually I hate that kind of music, but if I want to get things done, Gabber is my drug of choice.
Selected Ambient Works
90s electronic, Autechre
Incunabula, their debut album as Autechre, is also fantastic:
I love 90s electronic for concentration. But I’ve gotten into Tycho recently.
Tycho is great! Check out Emancipator as well!
LoFi
beats to concentrate/relax to
Found this playlist on Spotify recently called Creative Flow Music and it is now my go-to.
When I was in the office, always metal. At home I’m more likely to listen to classical, but still metal if I need to be totally focused.
Random playlist from spotify with low-fi, vocal house or vocal lounge.
Been on the lofi Chopin and similar songs lately.
