My staples:

- C148

- Deadmau5

- Cave Story

- Crypt of the Necrodancer

- Undertale

- A large number of the OC Remix arranged albums.

- Zelda

- A playlist of music that I've heard performed at Stanford's Memorial Church or Bing Concert Hall.

In all of the above cases, I filter out virtually all of the tracks which have vocals. Unfortunately, that means my favorite band (They Might Be Giants) aren't on the list.

"here's a list of music i like"
Yeah, I would have thought that curated meant there was reasoning and insight into selections.

This isn't very curated at all.

I definitely don't think you are wrong but in practical purposes, "curated" doesn't mean what it used to and I think we can all suffer less when we accept that. It's probably one of the prices society pays for the internet and doesn't have to be a bad thing.
Above & Beyond's Group Therapy Radio is one of my favorites http://www.aboveandbeyond.nu/abgt
Ooo, neat. I've enjoyed several of their songs, but didn't know they had a show.

I spend most of my time listening to the "Vocal Trance" and "Epic Trance" channels on DI.fm, and specifically enjoy several shows that run on there: Mellomania Vocal Trance Anthems with Pedro del Mar, Vocal Vibes by Richiere, More than Words by Ciacomix, and Uplifting Only with Ori Uplift.

Sounds like you would like A&B's old show, Trance Around the World, too.
I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I got into white noise playlists on Spotify and came across some womb noise tracks. They're oddly soothing.
a while back in another thread one of the guys involved with brain.fm gave a discount to HN, I gave it a go, it's pretty good ( no idea whether the theory behind it all works or not, but it's good zoning music for coding)

I have a massive list I've built up over time of electronica/trance/rave type music I use for coding on spotify. If you look for coding music on spotify there's a number of lists that are similar.

Alternatively here's my curated list:

Mozart Erbach Handel

the "Dub Techno" (music genre) in general
