I really like to listen to dub techno while programming. It is repetitive, no vocals, long songs (8-10min), relaxed vibe with not a lot of going on, yet very nice and ambiental.

I'll try that I guess. For now I use trance, anything that is happy or energetic, harmonic and wih no words. I have a long playlist that someone created on Spotify with this kind of trance.

  For trance (or a lot of other electronic music genres), [di.fm](http://www.di.fm/trance/ http://www.di.fm/trance/) is nice for when you can't be bothered to select a playlist etc. Edit: [ah.fm](http://ah.fm/player/ http://ah.fm/player/) is also good for trance.

Chain Reaction Records FTW https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUWXoGTMePo&list=PLB851A38A66151EF6 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUWXoGTMePo&list=PLB851A38A6... If you want it more boring even than that you could go for some drone music from the likes of Thomas Köner or Celer, or Gas. Beyond that lies field recording.

    I don't listen to much electronic music. Compared to real instruments, which usually have a lot of softening qualities, the high part of the spectrum (the calabash?) sounds extremely harsh and trebly, to the point of painful.

      That's a modern trend, due to the loudness-war arms race: brightness in that 2-5k area is perceived as loudness and clarity. Also it helps things pop through on the tiny speakers in laptops and mobile devices. Some speakers and headphones have their own bump in this region to increase perceived clarity and sparkle, so things can get very harsh and brittle very quickly. "EDM" is particularly guilty of this. EDIT: also this may be bothering you excessively if you're listening on a system lacking in sub bass: in electronic music, the crack of the snare is often set to balance the (often enormous) boom of the kick, so if you're not hearing the bottom of the kick the snare might stick out way too much.
