It's very similar for me. My music is EDM like many other coders, but it's more live performances, as they just don't end. Generally i'll grab a playlist of like 3 or 4 live shows from the same producer and i'll play them back to back.

But the multitasking thing is a bit different for me, it's more one-sense-at-a-time for me. My wife has laughed at me before because she'll come home and i'll be watching a youtube talk on one screen, playing music over the speakers, and programming something mundane all at the same time, but if 2 people are talking at the same time I have trouble hearing anything.

this. I find stuff like brain.fm too minimal, and not engaging enough, personally.

Interesting how everyone has a personal threshold of not engaging enough / too engaging.

I wish there was some reliable resource I could go to to find 3-5 hour blocks of edm type music.
