Video game music is actually designed to increase your ability to concentrate on the game. I highly recommend listening to some as you're coding. You can get it at Bandcamp [1,2]. Trance music also works, especially Goa Trance.
Binaural beats [3,4] are also worth a try.

- nabusman 5y agoCouldn't agree more, Goa trance/Goa psych is great for this. I usually throw on digitally imported [1] for listening and discovering new genres. My recent favorite is psydub and melodic house. [1] https://di.fm https://di.fm
- mlitwiniuk 5y agoAnd I thought I’m the only freak to listen to goa/psy trance while coding - I’m most likely to get in the flow while listening to it.
- csomar 5y agoThat might make some sense. I've been running Cyberpunk 2077 playlist when starting coding sessions. Kind of get me in the mood to start fighting. It might have helped that these audio clips have been mentally linked to real-life fighting. (in the game, of course).
- amiga1200 5y agoThere’s something to this. I’ve noticed an increase in heart rate, possibly a sympathetic reaction with the effect of pumping more blood to the brain? In any case it is not long before beat fatigue sets in and my mind is worse off.
- nabusman 5y agoThis happens to me with higher BPM music e.g. drum & bass or techno, but with lower BPM and a little melody (but no voices) I can listen for 10-12 hours while coding without beat fatigue.
