Not any particular genre makes me perform better, but I mostly listen to everything when I cube. Hip Hop, R&B, Pop, Rock, Punk, Techno, Trance, etc...
There was one time I was listening to the movie Mean Girls and had great results. =/



Wake up in the morning, feeling like P. Diddy...
 
The song "Silence" by Nobody is what I prefer to be hearing when I cube.
 
I prefer simple, somewhat downtempo electronica. Stuff like FUSE or other early Richie Hawtin stuff, sometimes more soundscapey stuff like Lifeform from FSOL. Uptempo electronica makes me get a little bit jittery. Shpongle can be good for me too, but it usually makes me want to drop the cube and hit the dancefloor. When learning new algorithms I like to listen to early Leonard Cohen or Bob Dylan, nice, melodic soothing stuff.
 
Classical might help go slow and lookahead.
Hey, not all classical music is slow! and sometimes not very relaxing either. :p

Anyway, sorry to bump a 5-day old thread but I made a playlist on YouTube of music that helps me while I cube.

It's mostly just classical, so if you can't stand classical music then I don't recommend that you listen to this playlist.

Try it out and tell me what you think.
