I love OST's and background score used in movie trailers.

Have you checked out Samuel Kim's channel, especially his LOTR and Star Wars ones. He took the already epic Rise of Skywalker trailer music and made it even more epic.

I have a feeling you would love his stuff if you love the above, same as me.

Depending on my mood. A collection of OST's, DnB, Electro, Metal, Rock :D

Right now, I particularly like listening to League of Legends playlists. I'm yet to play the game, but the music gets me pumped up 😄

Every time I revisit the game, I can immediately feel the toxic community 😅

This is why I haven't played yet 😂

Live an anger-free life without LoL 🤣

Shiloh Dynasty 24/7 stream is my absolute favorite ❤
Especially if you love Lo-Fi, as well 😉

Very cool! I usually listen to one of the Chillhop stations on YT.

Chillhop works best for me, at least on easy day-by-day work.

Mladen Macanović • Nov 11 '20

Lately, Chillhop or Lofi HipHop works best for me.

Synthwave music like The Midnight, FM-84, Timecop1983.

And sometimes like Daft-Punk, Parcels, Roosevelt.

I like game musics too only instruments my preference is Mass Effect and Halo, but sometimes i hear 80's rock.

I do not normally listen to any music while coding. Silence helps me focus.
If I'm in a noisy hardware lab, I use an iPad nano that contains my entire music collection. It contains many genres from Mozart to Backstreet Boys.

OST's, Chillhop, chiptunes, or Dark Noise! I have to have some sort of music or white noise going on it seems. Really helps me think.

I tend to stick to video game, film scores, or orchestral/brass band music. There are days where I am fine to put on some Avett Brothers, The Mars Volta, or anything with lyrics, but usually it's too distracting. Here are a few that are in constant rotation for me. Let me know if you find something like!

Playlists

Coding and Crushing It
This playlist is a decent mix between video game and film score music. There isn't one central theme like the others.

Jazztronica
If you were making an attempt to homogenizing this playlist into just a few genres, it seems evenly balanced between Lo-Fi EDM and Cool Jazz.

*This is Snarky Puppy
I mean … to be honest, I find myself rewinding to catch things I hear in the background.

Lo-fi Video Game Music
Just as the title says. This is almost more of a compilation than a playlist. It takes me back to the OverClocked ReMix days (still going strong, actually).

dark classical
I'll just leave you with the playlist description: brood in a hedonistic and boundless despair / dark academia blessed

Japanese Lofi Chill
Lo-Fi is a thing when coding, I swear.

Albums

FEZ by Disasterpeace
This one seems to help me think.

Brass from the Masters, Vol. 2 by Grimethorpe Colliery Band
When there isn't a pandemic, I perform in a British brass band in the DMV, and while I would love to spend a ton of energy educating more Americans about this tradition, I'll just leave this fantastic album here. Fantasy for Brass Band is what I put on when absolutely need to get myself going.

Fitzcarraldo by The Frames
The lyrics are great, but they can easily fade into the background of this very 90's soundtrack, and that makes it easy to code. Any album by this band for me!
