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

"Go At Throttle Up" (172 BPM)
Rocket-fueled tribal beats bookending a solid-core engine of high-energy psy trance, and coming back to Earth with two gorgeous progressive house tracks. (This is known in literary and advertising circles as exhausting your metaphor.) This mix was a challenge, not because of the speed but because many of the tracks here were recorded at 125 BPM. But we like challenges, yah?

Groovelectric
Welcome to the New Old Funk

"The Heart's Chambered Nautilus"
"The heart that grows outgrows itself, but leaves its past behind for all to see." Much like our chambered nautilus pal depicted below. This mix is mostly very uplifting, but with an odd vein of wistfulness throughout that makes the whole thing kind of melancholy. Me, I Iike melancholy. We drama queens know it's the most refined emotion, especially when you need to justify being arty.

DJ Enters Derby

I'll be spinning at The Derby in Los Angeles on Saturday, March 8, at midnight. Our old pals Techno Squirrels, whose tracks have been featured in Podrunner & Groovelectric, will also be on the bill. Should be a fun night! (Sorry for the short notice; I just picked up the gig at the last minute!)
