OT: workout music


Recommended Posts

Being stuck at home thanks to the covid i started to use an elliptical bike to try to not get more weight, and to listen music during the workout.

 

Well, i never really danced in my whole life, and it is the first time i discover the relationship between (my) physical movement and music, and i must admit i re-evaluted dance music :).

 

Anyway, i'll never be a drum and bass guy, but i listen music with a clear beat and a lot of energy, but still with a lot of musical content inside. Abraham Inc, Joe Zawinul, SoulJazz Orchestra, James Brown.

 

Any suggestion :-> ?

I tend to like harder rock when doing weights (audioslave, tool etc). Nothing approaching "metal" but like something to impart some badass-ness to my lifting (or so I think of it!)

 

For cardio I listen to DJs like John Digweed, Sacha etc....

^ King Kunta is a good track. Personally because I do a lot of DJ work it's usually a mix of mine. It means more to me if assembled and mixed the tracks myself rather than just let them play one at a time.

 

 

I like Kendrick a lot because he uses a lot of musicians creating tracks and not just samples and beats being orchestrated.
