I logged in just to say that letter animation on the main page is absolutely brilliant! Reloaded the page like 5 times to just see it again and again :) Great job! Haven't listened to the music yet though.

I use Endel.

(Sorry, meant to reply to the main thread.)

I guess I'm in the minority but all these "music for programming" mixes make me apathetic and sleepy. Which is great for relaxation, but not so great for working. I need something with the beat, even if it's chill. Dark techno FTW :)

Have the same feeling

Highly recommend Ricky Ryan. Argentian DJ.

His textures mixes are a bit more laid back, perfect for the early morning: https://m.soundcloud.com/rickyryan/sets/textures

His mixtapes mixes are a bit more clubby, but still not too fast: https://m.soundcloud.com/rickyryan/sets/mixtapes

He releases a polished mix once a month, and he's been DJing for a very long time.

I simply fire up [insert music streaming provider of your choice] set one of my favorite (possibly Scandinavian) death metal bands and let it play.

Mgła is my favourite band for concentration.

I'm a man of simple pleasures - I see Aphex Twin, I upvote

i still fall asleep to the selected ambient works. aphex twin was truly ahead of his time. If you want another awesome ambient album, i highly suggest BT's If the Starts Are Eternal, So Are You and I for awesome ambience.

I love the minimal text theme style of the site.

I use jam bands like Phish as background. No danger of hearing something I might start singing to, just music.

Tip: Add vim hjkl bindings for prev/next up/down.

This website is so beautiful. I love it !!

Need to update that link to Google podcast
