The Power – Duke Dumont (ft. Zak Abel) (2019)

I chanced across this new tune via YouTube and it could just about be the perfect running tune.

I liked the British producers previous tunes Need U (100%) and I Got You from a few years back but his new one, The Power, is an absolute stomper. Continue reading “The Awesome Running Playlist – Track 33”

Another Chance – Roger Sanchez (2001)

We are not moving very far away in time from the last week’s tune but we are moving across the Atlantic, for producer  Roger Sanchez’s smash, Another Chance. Continue reading “The Awesome Running Playlist – Track 32”

Feeling for You – Cassius (1999)

Last month was marked by the recent passing of another influential DJ. French DJ and producer Philippe Zdar, who accidentally fell from a building in Paris in June 2019. Zdar was one half of the dance music duo, Cassius. Continue reading “The Awesome Running Playlist – Track 31”

Numb/Encore – Jay Z and Linkin Park (2004)

The Grammy award winning collaboration between two different genres that’s a mash-up combining lyrics from Linkin Park’s “Numb” and “Encore” by Jay-Z, both released in 2003, but from their EP Collision Course from 2004. Continue reading “The Awesome Running Playlist – Track 30”

Track 29 – I Write Sins Not Tragedies – Panic at the Disco(2006)

There is not many rock tunes on this list, if any. It’s not that I’m just an old school house head. It’s trying to find good rock tunes to run to. I’ve been through plenty of bands, but most songs are not quick enough or at least not quick enough for me and this playlist. Continue reading “The Awesome Running Playlist – Track 29”

Track 28 – A Sky Full of Stars – Coldplay

Welcome back to the Unofficial Avicii appreciation society. This track is from 2014 off Coldplay’s sixth album, Ghost Stories and produced by the late Swedish EDM supremo. Continue reading “The Awesome Running Playlist – Track 28”

Track 27 – Only Human – KH (aka Four Tet)

Again, I’m not entirely sure how I can across this track, but it was only a few months ago. Most probably YouTube. This is under Four Tet’s pseudonym, KH. Four Tet is an English musician and prominent remixer, who recently wowed people at Alexandra Palace, London with his gig and light show. Continue reading “The Awesome Running Playlist – Track 27”

Track 26 – Mo Money Mo Problems – The Notorious B.I.G. featuring Puff Daddy, Kelly Price and Mase (1997)

This is one of my all-time favourite tunes and an excellent party track. The upbeat-ness of the tune makes it a great running track. Much of this is down to the genius of the Chic duo Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers and their hook written for the Diana Ross classic “I’m Coming Out”. Continue reading “The Awesome Running Playlist – Track 26”

Track 25 – Falling (Duke Dumont Remix) – HAIM (2013)

I slightly slower tune but still with some beats to keep you rumbling. This track is a remix of the opening tune off Haim’s debut album, Days Are Gone from 2013. I probably came across this tune about a year ago on YouTube as I was randomly searching for music. Continue reading “The Awesome Running Playlist – Track 25”

Track 24 – For What You Dream Of – Bedrock (1993)

Dropping back to an all-out dance classic this week. Off one of the best dance complication albums ever and part of the classic Trainspotting soundtrack, is the British electronic music duo (John Digweed and Nick Muir) with their dance floor stomper from the early 90s.
