Need some new mixes for working out!

Something relatively upbeat, doesn't have to be very upbeat though, just something with a good pace to it... Oddly enough, I've been listening to sbando's recommendation of [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=194"]Silinder[/url]'s "Smiths Mix" but I've played it too many times now :lol:.

Anyway, I'm open to suggestions...

The latest Facundor Mohrr has a nice heavy beat to it, might load that next.

CLR = [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=216"]Chris Liebing[/url], techno, he rotates with his own studio, live, and guest mixes. Drumcode = [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=88"]Adam Beyer[/url], techno, also rotates with studio, live, and guest mixes.

I used to like putting on some trance but these days good trance is far and few between.

I don't keep up with trance either so I have no idea if there is anything good... There was one BT track I thought was cool, but that's it. I really hate trance to be honest, as I'm sure most people on here do...BUT! if it's good it's good :lol:

Can you post a reference or cover, or link where I can sample this my friend.

#1551618Post 19 of 38

Re: Need some new mixes for working out!

It's was a joke, and in poor taste :). Carcass used to be a grind-core band with little musical skills and repulsive lyrics.

Talking Heads - More Songs About Buildings And Food will have you sweating like a monkey, or Blake Grape - It's great to be straight, yeah.

Some of those never get old.

Don't dismiss trance out of hand, a lot of it is great.

Don't know if you've ever heard of techno but this maybe the kind of style you're after FLorida?

Re: Need some new mixes for working out!

Well more importantly it drowns out the shitty music they play in the gym which is distracting, it puts in you a zone and helps you focus.

[QUOTE=feather;993669]Well more importantly[/QUOTE]

I workout at home and outside. :lol: but yes, in addition to making working out fun, it drowns out shitty music at gyms, this is true.

Ditto on this one, Maybe I take it a little too serious. Tend to think: You [I]focus[/I] on your reps and [I]concentrate[/I] on your breathing. Making sure the body does it right, and is able to recover right. Last thing I need is some bopin' 130bpm techno in the background.

But if it's something like step Aerobics etc. yeah why not?

Last thing you need is a Vortex in the middle of a workout :shock::twisted::lol:

Re: Need some new mixes for working out!

i prefer listening to music after my workout, i dont pump iron that much anymore tho, mainly swimming laps or on a punching bag.,,but if its to not hear the shitty stuff they play in gym, then yah forsure....

when i tried listening to digweed once while workinout i couldnt help but move to it, and since i was trying not to be obvious it seemed like i was twitching

I used to walk 5 miles to work each day with headphones on, usually something fairly chilled. I put some [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=133"]Dave Clarke[/url] on one day and arrived 15 minutes early :OhMy:

Re: Need some new mixes for working out!

As dumb as it may sound I've had some great cardios and lifts while getting after Oakey's 1999 EM World Tour...you even get Tongy pushing you along LOL

I usually load up on Transitions shows, but to be honest they don't add much to the workout itself. Just trying to keep up with new sounds, which ain't easy these days.

Non-EDM stuff...Metallica's first few albums always do the trick. Also AC/DC, Rage Against The Machine, Tool, etc. You can also never go wrong with Pantera or Slayer if you don't mind a little headbang to your workout.

[QUOTE=Illuminate;993559]Why do we need music whilst working out? I can never figure that out?[/QUOTE]

i honestly can't work out unless i have music on. i tried it a few times without music, but it was pointless. couldn't get a good pump. couldn't hit that extra rep or two.

THIS. also linkin park.

i'm seriously laughing out loud at the whole 'tongy pushing you' because...i'm not sure why this is...but there's truth to that statement.

"it's the last major festival dance-wise of '99 ....CREAMFIELDS! [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=154"]Paul Oakenfold[/url] on the turntables on the turntables for the essential mix exclusively for Radio 1...." cue Flaming June. I just crank up the speed or the tension on the machines....

definitely NOT dumb bro. i'm with you 100% on that.

some of the older more obscure transitions are good ones, but the newer ones just don't do it for me.

a few other recommendations: subfocus, dannybyrd, london elekrticity, and [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=996"]high contrast[/url] e-mixes.

a few other emixes that i use:

  1. digweed @ global gathering (that Phunky track is nutz! so is that Mashtronic - Beloved track which almost always helps me hit PR's)
  2. [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=501"]Underworld[/url] e-mix from amnesia last year.
  3. [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=155"]Pete Tong[/url]/[url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=628"]Paul van Dyk[/url] e-mix from (er, forgetting. starts with Love Tatoo, has some fun housey shit on there)
  4. [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=155"]Pete Tong[/url]/[url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=190"]Dave Seaman[/url] (starting with the creamer & k remix of Hide U.

btw, if nobody has posted this yet, i might as well do so [url]http://soundcloud.com/das-boy/sets/essential-mix/[/url]

^ i'm pretty sure that guy has uploaded every essential mix ever on to his soundcloud page. i'm not sure who he is, but muchos muchos thanks to him for doing that (he might be a member here but i'm not sure?) also got some great live sets and, for whenever i need a dose of Northern Exposures East or West or Expeditions...tha'ts on there too. good shit.

one more good one: [url]http://soundcloud.com/das-boy/1999-12-31-essential-mix-va-the-essential-millennium/[/url]

put that on the mp3 player and burn 3500 calories on the treadmill. hah

Re: Need some new mixes for working out!

I can recommend background music for workout - [URL]http://www.melodyloops.com/music-for/workout/[/URL]. I do myself workout for the background music. This has been going on for six months. I'm quite happy.:D
