Only where it belongs
Editing alternates between listening and looking. The sessions are for the looking hours, and they are easy to pause because nothing depends on where you are in them.
Music for
Play a flat instrumental session for the parts of editing that do not involve listening: grading, motion graphics, logging, exports and any rough assembly you do with the timeline muted. When you are cutting to sound, pause it; nothing should compete with your audio. Deep Focus fits the long, precise hours, Creative Flow the loose first assembly.

A session with peaks and drops resets your sense of level. Even dynamics leave your ears ready for the next audio pass.
Colour and motion work come in long stretches. A 90 to 120 minute session covers one without a decision in the middle.

The sessions are for listening, not for use in your own work. Each artist keeps the rights to their music; their artist page has their links if you want to ask about licensing a track.
For a first assembly, no; for a fine cut, yes. That is why Deep Focus is the main recommendation and Creative Flow the alternative.
Photo editing has no audio to protect, so any session works. Deep Focus for a long culling and retouching block; Late Shift if it runs past dark.
Every session is built from tracks by emerging artists, paid for the minutes people listen. If your music sits still for an hour, send it.
