Generally EDM. It's hard because you have to keep finding new tracks. EDM songs don't age well. They get your blood pumping the first few times you hear them, but after that they're pretty boring.

Genuinely interesting songs are bad for my chess, because I start listening to them during the game... so I like to have a somewhat simple song with a strong beat... thus EDM.

But sometimes guitar stuff too like Polyphia or Angel Vivaldi.

Hi there i dont play any music when i play chess.

My favorite drummers are Senri and Kanade; and piano girl Hiromi.

Depends on my mood: sometimes BB King, sometimes Chopin, sometimes Pearl Jam, etc.

Anything but that. I would be too distracted remembering funfairs during childhood.

Two songs I've discovered with Shazam while watching chess on stream/YouTube:

When watching Aman/Chessbrah I found some great chill techno: 

Emmanuel Top - Acid Phase

Somewhere in the Pogchamps 3 tournament, one of the contestants played this battle song, though I don't remember which one. I just remember Levy commenting how epic it sounded. And both commentators talking made a challenging Shazam.

Two steps from Hell (Thomas Bergersen) - Strength of a Thousand Men

Both work well for me when playing chess

Definitely edm is up there for me - and depending on the time controls I have more background type music (still edm - well more trance) for rapid, and more hyper music for blitz/bullet

I have multiple playlists preset... can only really play to music I like

Honestly I’ve also been jamming to my own amalgamation of the most popular songs (pop) really hard recently too

Wow was surprised when I looked up the lyrics of this song and it actually has a deeper meaning of an interacial love affair.  Very cool song  ​​Toto - Africa (Official HD Video) - YouTube             perfplexed
