I don’t know why Wu-Tang Clan is on every list from nearly every developer who recommends music, since the band started. Their music is fine, but trying to code with their music does not work for me.
With that rant out of the way, I recently moved my desk to a window so now the outside noises are keeping me in the zone.
Don't forget their DefCon soundtrack, GrooveSalad, and GrooveSalad Classic channels. The first one is my favorite...they play funny soundbites from actual DefCon presentations.
Oh...and all their channels have streams, so you don't have to worry about closing a browser window or tab and loosing the music...
Highly recommend everything on Ambient Music Guide, in particular the mixes and podcasts. Low on lyrics, big on electronica, but immensely broad coverage of many down-tempo styles.
There's a really nice program for Linux, called Blanket. It can play nature sounds, as well as travel sounds and white/pink noise among others. The really neat thing is that you can mix the sounds and and adjust the volume for each one. You can also add custom sounds.
Oh, thanks for these cool YouTube playlists! The Witcher soundtrack definitely goes to my favs ❤️
Since you are mentionning Pomodoro + background music, I suggest you give a look at Centered. It's an app that's designed to help you get in the Flow faster, and stay there longer. It combines background music + a virtual coach that nudges you from distractions + a rythm of work sessions/breaks and a couple more features…

Arcane's album is pretty much on repeat. Really brings out my inner Jinx. Also depressing piano covers, Rok Nardin and overall film, video games and etc music scores.
When I go out to Youtube for music, especially to code by, I look up the Iron Man Soundtrack(s) and find a playlist. Something about coding next to Tony Stark gets me motivated. :D
Programming is easy like riding a bike. Except the bike is on fire and you're on fire and everything is on fire and you're actually in hell (@matixmatix)
This is a great list! I'll definitely be trying a lot of these out since I usually do movie soundtracks or classical music. Can't handle a lot of music with words because I'll start typing those!
I used a lot of times brain.fm , for focusing it's a great tool.
Now I'm listening all the sets from Blume:

I've found that music specially "designed" to maintain focus works best to me. It allows to keep high productivity and concentration for several hours in a row. For example, this one is my favorite.

Do not forget the
Donkey Kong Countrysoundtrack for SNES.A true masterpiece.
I can really recommend several of the streams from Somafm if you are into electronica.
And you are always welcome to checkout my Spotify playlist /Music/Hacking

I wasn't aware of it, but it looks nice ;)
Yes, that's the one.

Nice list. Also film music is great for focus especially Terminator 2 soundtrack.
Great list, Bas! 💯👍
I also created a fun side project some months ago 📻🎵
That looks promising! Unfortunately, I get a 500 from your API and can't hear anything... Maybe you want to have a look...
Sry, had to redeploy due to maintenance, should be fixed now 😉

My 2 cents: I love “Purified Radio” by Nora En Pure, 1 hour episodes of great music, available in YouTube.

I can relate to that! ;)

Nice compilation!
Definitely going to follow some of these :))
Hi guys, I like so much this playlist: youtube.com/watch?v=-5KAN9_CzSA
I just put a Chopin Spotify playlist..
Also yes, to your suggestion of the Witcher Album! So much love.
I love rock and metal music, but when I really want to get focus I used to listen:
Sim City soundtracks are great. youtu.be/5GCoc893Vt8

Awesome list!!
I love WoW.
Here are more Tracks:
Great list.
But, no post-rock?
You have a playlist you want to share?
I usually listen to Deep Focus playlist on Spotify.
Wu-Tang is for the children.
musicforprogramming.net is a good one
NewRetroWave works for me 😀
take a look on my new migration concept

I found that listening to background ASMR helps me focus on work.
Greate, always with Eminem. I born, grew up and will die with Eminem sounds ^_____^
