Seeking New Focus Music For Coding? Try Loopsy Dazy

Follow Loopsy Dazy on Spotify

Loopsy Dazy is a live-looping acoustic-electronic project led by Mikey Dorje on acoustic guitar, synth, beats and effects, with frequent accompaniment by Eleanor Edgar on violin and effects, Brad Weber (aka Pick a Piper, aka Coy Haste, member of Caribou) on drums and synth and Adam Jenkins on bass.

This has been my go-to focus music of late, so I'd definitely recommend it either way, but I'm also recommending it because they are led by my brother Mikey. Mikey also writes code and is a DEV member @mikeydorje.

Follow them on Spotify or wherever you listen to music. It's great headphone music.

Hey @ben , thanks for sharing this! Super cool to hear my music is good coding music. Cool to see so many suggestions here as well.

I'm getting back into some coding projects after a few month of a music hiatus, so finally replying to this!

If you like coding to ambient music, this artist, Lowercase Noises is EXCELLENT:

Fittingly, I discovered Lowercase Noises on tonethreads.com (website I built / run)

Great reminder! I used to use brain.fm/. Their music is designed for reaching mental states. You can get more informations here: brain.fm/science
I had the luck to buy a lifetime membership for less than a year costs now when they were in their beginnings. But 50$ / yr is also fair in my opinion. I recommend to give it a try.

You could also use zenmix.io or spaces.fm . Both provide a selection of ambient sounds and you can mix your own. Also good for meditations :-)

Most of presented playlists is not suitable for programming, specially when you work at pressure. so i think it is better for each developer to progressively listen tracks and delete ones who not good for him at work. sorry for english.

I just heard "underground," "sounds," and "La Lune".
Definitely worth adding to my playlists and following him!
Just awesome how the combination of so simple beats creates a nice variety that doesn't get boring over time πŸ‘

If nothing else, I just love the name. Will give this a listen, I think it's just as important to change up the background audio while working just like any other play list.
