Music genres when coding

Downtempo, trip-hop, chillout, psybient, ambient type stuff.

Carbon Based Lifeforms, Solar Fields, Emancipator, Bonobo, Hammock, Eluvium, Harold Budd, Brian Eno etc.

Carbon based is cool, Gadium is another nice one.
 
I burn through music while coding O.o

Here is what I usually go through:

- ASOT radio shows
- Armin Van Buuren
- Gareth Emery
- Dash Berlin
- Classical Piano (mostly)

If I run out of (new / not overlistened) content for the above, I resort to:

- AH.FM stream
- Something on DI.FM
- Anything posted by Kabbage1977 on SoundCloud
 
Dubstep all the way.Silence for intense problem solving and algorithm work.
 
This is an interesting choice. Has it ever made you fade into a dreamy world at any point?

Not really, but what I do find sometimes is the need to switch to something more uptempo after a few hours.
 
I'm surprised to see so many Armin fans :D

I dig the ASOT radio shows. Slapping that on keeps me working strong for 2 hours (with brief fetching coffee breaks). The only downside is when it ends and I'm left with that "now what" feeling.
 
Do any of you listen to deep (non-vocal) house either when coding or in general?

We seem to have a huge market for deep house music in SA, but perhaps the audience is a different demographic.
 
Been listening to VSQ (Vitamin String Quartet). Really been digging it.

YouTube channel here, but been listening on Spotify.

Was listening to some today. For grunt work it's fine but more thought intensive, I'm not sure.

^Listen to that when you get the chance.

The next episode ;)
 
Hehe. A forum member made the mix. Listen to his other ones. Good stuff.

It's not as 'deep' as the other kinda house I hear, but it's still quite good. +1

More upbeat, feels like a DJ Kent mix, except he isn't repeating the tracks like Kent does every Friday.

12.56 - Definitely very similar to Kent.
 
I enjoy the odd Dream Theater album (their self-titled being particularly good), but some of my favourite bands include Anubis Gate, Circus Maximus (specifically their album Nine) and Darkwater.

More on the prog rock side, I enjoy anything Neal Morse is involved in.
