I do wish for a return of Jeff Gilbert's "Brain Pain" on KCMU which aired in the late 80's. He's the only DJ I could ever stand to listen to. His banter was as entertaining as his selections. Gilbert would sometimes appear as a guest star on "Almost Live". I'm surprised he wasn't more successful in showbiz.

When I was younger I could not start programming until I got some music going. Now I rarely ever listen to music while programming... I feel like it disrupts my thought process when I'm trying to concentrate. The exception is work where I listen to music to cover the noise around me.

If we're talking about the classics:

I also like to listen to fast, aggressive music while coding. It gets the adrenaline flowing which counter-intuitively seems to afford me better focus.

And then there's vapourwave... I can't stop listening to this genre; I'm not sure what's so appealing about it. It's certainly easy listening for when I'm trying to concentrate.

When coding, it is either old school electro : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpDn4-Na5co https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DY1s9SmrQRE (this one is not actually old, but the style). Or classic rock like airbourne. The harder the problems gets, the harder the music needs to be :) For hard problem, I suggest http://schizoid.in/ 's psychedelic trance channel.

Speaking about electronic music: I'm completely hooked on progressive house. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R24ZqcOtVrY https://soundcloud.com/rogermartinez/roger-martinez-live-oh-cha-bombay-india-24-04-2016-final https://soundcloud.com/guy-mantzur/guy-mantzur-live-mix-for-the-coalition-23-07-14
