I got tagged by Max Pool of {codesqueeze} regarding my choice of tunes while coding.
For me, it’s all about down tempo beats and no lyrics. And it started on DI.fm in the Chillout Channel.
I was listening to a mix that just really got the juices flowing called Ott Times. It was mixed by Morlack. The song lead me on a quest to find the artists in the mix, which included:
- Shpongle
- Ott
- Younger Brother
- Entheogenic
- Shulman
- Hallucinogen
Since then, I’ve managed to acquire almost every physical CD of each of these artists. I’ve put together a few of my favorite playlists that I enjoy while coding, chilling, or doing whatever. So that’s my flavor, one that’s worked for a while. I’ve since added some new artists to the roster, including Phutureprimitive and a few others. It’s amazing what you can find just lying in bed searching through the iTunes music store on your iPhone.

Then you probably know that Hallucinogen and Shpongle is the same guy
He has a few different names for his different acts.
Also look at Astral Projection and Green Nuns of the Revolution - they’re two I get into, anything that’s labelled as Goa, really

I know who Simon Posford is, and Raja Ram, and the various other personalities that make up the various collaborations (Benji, et. al.).
I will check out the two you mentioned, I’m always looking for some new beats!
