Same. I've found trailer music [1] works well for me while programming (needs to be relatively upbeat and without words, which I find distracting). You can find a lot of it on spotify.

I love programming to dark prog (~135bpm) or forest (~150bpm).

A good friend of mine and one of my favorite DJ artist has a nice selection of sets [1] to get you started, let me know if you want more.

You might like DJ Bolivia's Music to Code By , which seems to run about 132 bpm:

You might enjoy DI FM [1] which I've found has an excellent range of faster and slower tempo music for programming.

Some of it sounds like the old ambient genre people were experimenting with in the late 90s early 2ks (perhaps before but thats when i become aware of it). For faster tempo, go dnb.

I also just played a few samles, and it’s not for me. It found the few I tried to be noisy and distracting.
