Podrunner
Fixed-BPM Music Mixes for Any Fast-Paced Workout

"Upward Mobility" (135-175 BPM)
Before we start a new series on the "sixes," I thought it'd be fun to do a "ramp" mix, since there isn't one available in the current archive. If you're new to ramp mixes, these accelerate steadily over the course of the hour, reaching 25% of the target at 15 minutes, 50% at 30 minutes, 75% at 45 minutes, and 100% at 55 minutes, giving you a good run at the peak BPM.

The responses to the ramp mixes have been terrific. As training devices they cause your body to steadily increase its energy consumption, and many people tell me they increase both distance and time, often starting much slower than they usually go and ending up much faster than normal.

Groovelectric
Welcome to the New Old Funk

"Celestial Navigation"
"Celestial Navigation"
Some mixes move you below the waist, some move you above the neck. This one tries to do both, with a result that's somehow cosmic and danceable at the same time. Pretend you're at a very cool party being held in a planetarium. Whoah — wikkid kewl lazerz, bro. Got any Floyd?

The Terrible Twos
Separated at Birth — But Not Enough

As they approach their second birthday, the twins have sure grown into very separate identities: Podrunner is one of the biggest podcasts in the world, and is about to get its own website, a spinoff podcast ("Podrunner: Intervals"), new sponsorship, and a buttboatload of other things. Groovelectric is one of the biggest music podcasts in the world, and it's gonna keep on keepin' on because it more represents me as a DJ than Podrunner can, if only by virtue of Groovelectric's freedom from Podrunner's format restrictions.

With such separate identities, events, news, and even listenership, there are now practical (not to mention legal) reasons to have one newsletter for all things Podrunner, and a separate, biweekly newsletter for Groovelectric and other earth-shatteringly important dj steve boyett news.

When that happens in a few weeks, this newsletter and my website will provide links so you can subscribe to the new Groovelectric/dj steve boyett newsletter. (I haven't thought of a Rilly Kewl name for it yet, but I'll try.)

I know it's hard to believe, but some people actually want to know about one podcast and not the other. One positive effect of the separate newsletters is that Groovelectric won't have to jump up and down and wave its arms for attention while Podrunner's in the same room taking up all that space, grinnin' a yard wide and cracking jokes and drinking a Jack & Coke with a babe on each metal elbow. Blue Robots — they think they own the world.

Meantime, take care, thanks for reading and downloading, and have a great week!
