Any Spotify Playlist you can recommend to boost coding concentration? Thank you!

I created a Spotify playlist for just this purpose: open.spotify.com/user/1178336656/p.... Has a variety of styles, so give it a whirl.

I recently discovered brain.fm, but haven't used it enough to give a conclusive opinion. Seems great, though!

Funny-- I was just thinking the other day that I should look around on Spotify for some new stuff to listen to.

I'm a fan of this one, but I often prefer just having a playlist on my phone. That's mostly comprised of:

• Boards of Canada
• Trentemøller
• Cocteau Twins (Mostly "Heaven or Las Vegas")
• Múm

I've also come to really like noise generators that mimic the ambiance of the interior of an aircraft cabin. (My favorite is no longer available, but included randomized in-flight noises like the ping of the "fasten seatbelts" light coming on, muffled in-flight announcements, etc.)

If you find some great stuff, let us know!

I love listening to chilled out hip-hop open.spotify.com/user/spotify/play...

Not Spotify, but I frequently listen to musicforprogramming.net

It's a bunch of mixes by a bunch of electronic musicians.

I'll let the website description speak for itself:

function musicForProgramming(task) 
{
  task = (task === undefined) ? 'programming' : task;
  return 'A series of mixes intended for listening while '+task+' to aid concentration and increase productivity (also compatible with other activities).';
}

Not specifically a Spotify playlist but various video game soundtracks work a charm for me! Usually ends up being a nostalgia trip then some good ol concentration.

I made it about two weeks ago for a friend who went back to NYC from Boston. She took the bus and it was my contribution to keep her busy -or at least relaxed- during the trip.

It features ambient tracks with a rather wide variety of influences (Techno, Jazz, Experimental music...)

Also this EP from Damaskin & Seraphim Rytm is absolutely incredible. It is incredibly progressive so no distraction and its mechanical atmosphere always leaves me speechless. I recommend a good soundsystem for this one, plenty of details hide in the low range.

Also soft Drum'n'Bass might be great for you if you enjoy higher BPMs. This playlist features pretty much all the sub-genres of DnB (Jungle, Liquid, Neurofunk, even some Footwork) but always either atmospheric or chill, nothing too aggressive.

Hope you enjoy these !

PS; Almost forgot about this incredible website : Police scanners mixed with random ambient music, absolutely gorgeous and definitely safe for work.

I've got a huge one full of instrumental music: open.spotify.com/user/isaaclyman/p...

It's non-distracting, but interesting enough to keep my brain from getting bored.

My new go-to is this: open.spotify.com/user/newretrowave...

And Mike's Basement Beats from Stranger Things 2: open.spotify.com/user/spotify/play...

Also any playlist made by signalnoise is gold: open.spotify.com/user/signalnoise?...

I've found Synthwave music to be the best for concentration.

Power Glove's Far Cry: Blood Dragon soundtrack is a good starting point. After that you can move into Kavinsky

I’m all about JPop when it comes to coding 8 have some other tips on music and concentrating on code in my most recent article
