Sounds cliche, silly, etc. but music really is magic. Such an abstract thing that can produce wide ranges of emotions and even help focus and inspire.
I find a lot of electronic music helpful for coding.
Some bangers for anyone interested:
Age Of Love - The Age Of Love (Charlotte de Witte & Enrico Sangiuliano Remix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YVvcTIGy40
Nero - My Eyes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiojdDs8wwk
SUB FOCUS x WILKINSON @ Corfe Castle, Dorset https://youtu.be/TRh-amAhOEw?si=jCx1V7jkciB3h4kh
Adventure Club - Gold (Ft. Yuna) https://youtu.be/09wdQP1FFR0?si=r7hfA6w3qfhXzL30
DnB is my jam, I’m a fan of sub focus and wilkinson.
Here is 37 hours of DnB [1]. Here is 30 hours of mostly house [2].

Big up the DnB crew. I like it dirtier when out, but love a bit of liquid to code to.
For sessions:
Big Bud: Infinity + Infinity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYEuCcMZB_o
LTJ Bukem: Logical Progressions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZK_0dgj43s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYqDVqYSTxs
And a few select cuts:
Calibre & High Contrast: Mr Majestic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nswe73umPQk
Hybrid Minds / Daughter: Youth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RUWkv4Ray8
Hybrid Minds: Touch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AKSpPkZAuE
These replies are fantastic, thanks all.
I recently (last few years) discovered that not only do I like DnB, but there is something about it that keeps the anxiety goblin in my brain occupied the same way one might distract an unruly child with a video game or something equally engaging. Contrast to what the poo-poo'ers say, the organized chaos that it brings to my table actually _helps_ me regain a bit of my higher-order thinking, especially when troubleshooting.
Calibre is a fav, but already mentioned so I offer up another favorite of mine for those looking for something a bit more fluid with a nostalgia kick.

Yoink!
Liquid DnB is my goto flow state hack:
18 hours spotify playlist of my faves: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2GKgNjMOLu9GYy1puVknIJ?si=...
Only thing to be aware of is that Spotify's shuffle is not a true shuffle, it's a shuffle designed to earn them the most money so you might have noticed the same tracks repeat themselves in a massive playlist, others don't play at all. Unfortunately the solution is to use on of those spotify API websites to dupe the playlist with a shuffle and play it with shuffle disabled.
Fun! I see some overlap. Will check it out :)
I agree music is very useful for switching things up a gear, from down tempo through to very high bpm such as: https://open.spotify.com/album/3f8egS9LhMlx6S3YqJdl3z?si=Fo1...
Interesting, I listened to Tidal Wave by Sub Focus on repeat for like a week while coding!
Pass from me - no songs with lyrics for coding, and ever worse belting and melisma...
Such fond memories with this song.
Check out the Heavy Breathing Liquid DnB mix by Dieselboy. It's one of my staples for coding and chilling out in general.
