I believe taste/preference as the differentiator is missing.

The "intense + focus" music on brain.fm puts me to sleep. My coding music is ASOT weekly series, it's usually couple of hours of house and trance music where I get immersed into coding zone and once finished i take a 10-15min break, repeat.

When I concentrate I don't hear anything that's when I know I'm in the zone. It's my preference and it's surely different from yours, hence why the differentiator is missing.

same. I prefer anything but the relaxing kind of repetitive music they'd suggest. the whole thread above this also has very nice music suggestion, but nothing I'd use to get in the zone.

This is actually great feedback. I can definitely create some trance, house, etc. There is techno/electronic music already in there, but only at around 120bpm, and probably won't be as bass-intensive or dramatic as you're used to.

Junaid my co-founder shares a lot of your taste, and so does my sister, so I have a few willing guinea pigs :)
