You don't have a preference? Nothing stands out as better than the other? Can't even give us a genre?

I think you would like Bonobo. He released a really good album this year. And Flying Lotus as well.

Anything I rate 4 stars or higher in my library I usually play while working. These tend to be songs I’ve listened to a lot so I don’t think about them much while they are playing, a good thing when trying to focus (for this reason I avoid playing Last.fm radio during work… most of the time).

That being said I play BoA (Korean pop), Blutengel (German electronic/dance), Eisbrecher (German industrial) and Velcra (Finnish industrial) the most during that time.

Most of the time i shuffle my music library. I skip tracks that distracts me easyly with gnome do. If i really need to concentrate, i prefer beethoven or dubstep.fm podcasts. In dubstep.fm podcasts, especially there is a dj named jungle visionary. I would recommend him.

Tech house, mostly. Or warp/rephlex/mu stuff.
