If you want non-stop energetic, yet "smooth" techno with some soothing vocals, I recommend you check into trance. Specifically, "A State of Trance". There was a 6-city, 6 week tour that just ended last weekend. All of the music is playable here: http://soundcloud.com/edmtunestv http://soundcloud.com/edmtunestv And downloadable here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=316887 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=316... (I code to this music EVERY day)

Another smooth genre is "deep house", also found in genres like slowmo, nu disco. An example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tD74t6K7mI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tD74t6K7mI

  You'd appreciate http://www.deepmix.eu http://www.deepmix.eu - a massive amount of 1-hour deephouse mixes from Moscow for download and looping on internet radio.

    That's good, thanks. While we're here, I'd like to drop a link to every BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix from 1993-2011 on Soundcloud: http://soundcloud.com/das-boy/sets/essential-mix http://soundcloud.com/das-boy/sets/essential-mix.

Hey, so do I! In fact I went to the London part of the tour where it was recorded live. Trance.fm is also pretty good source, they play non stop trance with no interruptions. Great for coding against as long as it isn't too loud!

OMGosh that is great stuff. Great! I just wish I could find it on pandora.

Another good source, the trance tag on mixcloud.com. I particularly like Paul Oakenfold's "Planet Perfecto".

I also like Psytrance. I just search for Psytrance on shoutcast and go with one of the top 3. The nice thing about these kind of genres is they're loud and monotonous and drown out the world, whilst not being too much work to listen to.

I also recommend the podcast, "Trance Around the World" -- two hours of awesome trance. I program with it on, I go to sleep with it playing, we just had a party with it playing in the background. (Also, if you are a Spotify user, try the Radio/Trance mix.)

  I tried that once, but found it a bit too distracting -- too much overenthusiastic DJ voice over in it to really get into the zone while programming.
