Re: Need some new mixes for working out!
[QUOTE=Weizy;993907]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]
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:
- digweed @ global gathering (that Phunky track is nutz! so is that Mashtronic - Beloved track which almost always helps me hit PR's)
- [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=501"]Underworld[/url] e-mix from amnesia last year.
- [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)
- [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.
