My kind of Running Playlist : Dance & Electronic - Paul Oakenfold

I have written about my favorite running playlist before which is the Funktion Won from Paul Oakenfold's Perfecto Vegas album. By far, I would really think that Dance-Electronic or Club music is probably one of the best running music that you can have playing in your MP3/iPod playlist. Personally I just love any genre that has  Dance, Electronic and Club tunes. The effect of having great vibrating music pumping next to your ears is liberating, energetic and powerful. It gives away just about the right amount of energy boost to motivate you to stride and run.

Besides Funktion Won, here are a couple of songs that you may want to add on to your running playlist mix :

Left Alone - really good morning run music. The beat intensify gradually as the song goes.

Awaken (Torin Schmitt Remix) - it has fast beat starting from the start of the song and have lots of lyrics to 'wake you up'.

Ultimately, anything from the Perfecto Vegas Album by Paul Oakenfold is worth to have in your running playlist. I can guarantee  you a great running experience when you have a real spectacular running music playlist to accompany you with. If you have never checked out on any of Oakenfold's awesome, energetic music, you must have a go at it. Try out listening here and have a feel on their great tunes. Oakenfold simply kicks ass!

Don't hold back-Galvanize by The Chemical Brothers

It's a gloomy, slightly chilly Friday and if you 'wake up in the morning with the initiative to move' but can't seem to get yourself moving, I got your fix. Listen up, full blast on your headphones this energy vibrating song called Galvanize by The Chemical Brothers.

If a full blast of this plus a huge mug of black coffee still won't help get you going, you are so going to be in trouble at work today! :). Enjoy the beat yo!



An excerpt of the Galvanize Lyrics - Chemical Brothers

(Don't hold back)
cuz you woke up in the morning with initiative to move,
so why make it harder

(Don't hold back)
If you think about it so many people do, be cool man, look smarter,

(Don't hold back)
and you shouldn't even care, about the losers in the air,
and their crooked stares,

(Don't hold back)
cuz there's a party over here, so you might aswell be here,
where the people care,

The world is holding back
the time has come to...

Galvanize,

(Don't hold back)
If you think about it too much you may stumble,
trip up fall on your face,

(Don't hold back)
You think it is time you get up fresh style
like a sit-up come on keep pace

(Don't hold back)
Put apprehension on the back burner,
let it sit, don't even get it lit,

(Don't hold back)
Get involved with the jam,
don't be a prick, hot chick

(Don't hold back)
The World
The time has come to -
Push the button

My finger is on the button
Push the button
The time has come to...
Galvanize
