This is great! I now know that "minimal psy" is the name of the genre I like to listen to whilst coding.

I'd love to see something similar for the various sub-genres of drum & bass.

'Psybreaks' really reminds me of the soundtrack to the original Wipeout game, written by Cold Storage (http://www.coldstorage.org.uk/).

Depending on where you are, the sound track may well have included some Orbital, Leftfield and Chemical Brothers also, it was stripped out for the North American release though.

There was also an album of the music released.

IIRC only the Playstation version had licensed music from those artists. Other versions (such as the Saturn version that I owned) had tracks written exclusively by Cold Storage.

PC version also had a coldstorage soundtrack

With D&B being my main love, I might focus some time on this. In the mean time, if you want to know the subgenre of a track, or some tracks in a subgenre, let me know :)

I really love Calyx, and I have some old moving shadow mix cd's (eg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkyRsbTXNuE). Which sub-genre would you call this? And do you have any more recent recommendations along these lines?
