Re:Ask HN: best music to code to? by user_235711 on Wednesday January 15, 2014 @12:41PM (#7064712)
I would recommend Boards of Canada[1] and Thievery Corporation[2] most of all. But really anything in the vein of what has been dubbed "chill" music works great for me due to the awesome atmospheres and driving beats. Here[3] is a list I made of some of the best albums IMO in that genre.

I also listen to these when I am coding. Repetitive techno-like music can be also good, it depends on the mood.
