Percussion music! I like them too, especially when you are concentrate on your coding, while some people around you are chatting. That's the only time that I must listen to music while working (otherwise I'm fine without it), and no other kind of music can "drown" the distracting chatting better than percussion music.

I've been looking for something like this for a long time. I can't even count the number of spotify playlists I've gone through... Thanks!

It depends on the file type. In my opinion, repetitive patterns in JSON pair best with music like Daft Punk, Swedish House Mafia, or just about any other house or techno. CSS, on the other hand feels a bit more squirrelly, so I pair it with music I find calming, like most anything by Brian Eno, Robert Rich, many of the artists signed to Cryo Chamber, and even a bit of my own work. *t.co/ZJyCpT0lWk

*Famous artists and music labels are easy to find, but, well, I'm not exactly what you'd call famous. Lucky for me, I don't create things in order to become famous; I create because I like making things.

These days I’m liking the “Into the Spider-verse” soundtrack 😊

This one's really great, the track made it to my playlist recently 😊

I love blues and jazz, and that's pretty much all I listen to while I'm coding. Except for those days when it's hard to focus on things, then I type on YouTube "music for programming", and get those ambient music playlists. Not sure why, and how, but it just works!
