I highly approve of Burial for programming music, and have some recommendations of my own:

  Clubroot - Clubroot
  Explosions in the Sky - Earth is Not A Cold Dead Place (and everything else)
  Four Tet - There Is Love In You
  Bonobo - Days to Come
  Pretty Lights - Filling Up The City Skies
That said, I find I can listen to just about anything and program; Drum & Bass being one of my favorites to listen to. If you're feeling really adventurous and don't find anything non-ambient distracting, here is another list:

  Unquote - Reverberation Box
  Phace & Misanthrop - From Deep Space
  Calibre - Calibre
  High Contrast - Confidential
Probably too much listed here, but I'm an avid music listener (mostly of EDM); I also find that it keeps me focused when working.


It's funny, I never used to listen to drum & bass except when I went out, but these days it's pretty much all I listen to - while at work, on the bus, wherever. I guess that when you get enough exposure to a certain genre, you can find all different kinds of music to suit every situation just in that genre.

Phace & Misanthrop have been doing some awesome work! The Neosignal music is really great.
