Sounds cliche, silly, etc. but music really is magic. Such an abstract thing that can produce wide ranges of emotions and even help focus and inspire. I find

  I agree music is very useful for switching things up a gear, from down tempo through to very high bpm such as: https://open.spotify.com/album/3f8egS9LhMlx6S3YqJdl3z?si=Fo1EdgrXRBGM_828UJTl0g https://open.spotify.com/album/3f8egS9LhMlx6S3YqJdl3z?si=Fo1...

  DnB is my jam, I’m a fan of sub focus and wilkinson. Here is 37 hours of DnB [1]. Here is 30 hours of mostly house [2].

    Big up the DnB crew. I like it dirtier when out, but love a bit of liquid to code to.

      These replies are fantastic, thanks all. I recently (last few years) discovered that not only do I like DnB, but there is something about it that keeps the anxiety goblin in my brain occupied the same way one might distract an unruly child with a video game or something equally engaging. Contrast to what the poo-poo'ers say, the organized chaos that it brings to my table actually _helps_ me regain a bit of my higher-order thinking, especially when troubleshooting. Calibre is a fav, but already mentioned so I offer up another favorite of mine for those looking for something a bit more fluid with a nostalgia kick.

        > the organized chaos that it brings to my table actually _helps_ me regain a bit of my higher-order thinking Same. My favorite playlist that I made for this is called Break Through The Galaxy [1]. It pushes me to think beyond my boundaries and those boundaries and those boundaries etc. It’s 50% DnB and 50% other genres of which the songs/tracks hit the same way. For example, it starts with a calm guitar composition.

          Just a heads up, I'm not seeing your playlist when I click the link. Looks like it's linking straight to the track Beauty of Discipline by Gareth Pearson.

            Thanks, here it is. I tested the link this time :) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1c3AdAfB4J7iaZ0F9scVC5?si=a21fe1db80c947bc https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1c3AdAfB4J7iaZ0F9scVC5?si=...

    Yoink! Liquid DnB is my goto flow state hack: 18 hours spotify playlist of my faves: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2GKgNjMOLu9GYy1puVknIJ?si=239a25108ff14262 https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2GKgNjMOLu9GYy1puVknIJ?si=... Only thing to be aware of is that Spotify's shuffle is not a true shuffle, it's a shuffle designed to earn them the most money so you might have noticed the same tracks repeat themselves in a massive playlist, others don't play at all. Unfortunately the solution is to use on of those spotify API websites to dupe the playlist with a shuffle and play it with shuffle disabled.

      Fun! I see some overlap. Will check it out :)

  Interesting, I listened to Tidal Wave by Sub Focus on repeat for like a week while coding!
  • Jimpulse 1y ago
    Such fond memories with this song. Check out the Heavy Breathing Liquid DnB mix by Dieselboy. It's one of my staples for coding and chilling out in general.

    Pass from me - no songs with lyrics for coding, and ever worse belting and melisma...
