Big up the DnB crew. I like it dirtier when out, but love a bit of liquid to code to.

For sessions:

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.

    Same. My favorite playlist that I made for this is called Break Through The Galaxy [1]. It pushes me to think beyond my boundaries and those boundaries and those boundaries etc.

    It’s 50% DnB and 50% other genres of which the songs/tracks hit the same way. For example, it starts with a calm guitar composition.

      Just a heads up, I'm not seeing your playlist when I click the link. Looks like it's linking straight to the track Beauty of Discipline by Gareth Pearson.
