We present three new Bodymusic collections - guaranteed to help you get back into shape after the inevitable excesses of the festive season.
House music beats are synonymous with fitness workouts in a wide variety of formats. Whether as the soundtrack to a formal fitness class or within a more personal playlist, house music can often be the key to staying motivated.
Bodymusic is the ultimate fitness music proposition. It is a collection of quality music for fitness enthusiasts who love their music as much as their exercise, whether it’s hundreds of miles or millions of reps.
Following this summer’s release of the first Defected Bodymusic edition, ‘I Like Exercise, But I Love Music’, Defected’s Sam Divine has spent the Autumn honing the sound of fitness Defected-style with three new volumes: Bodymusic Run, Bodymusic Gym and Bodymusic Chillout – Stretch & Tone.
“My BodyMusic mixes feature around 80 minutes of house music of various kinds" she explains “and these three new editions are suitable for aerobic fitness like running, dance classes or cycling, a weights/cardio session in the gym as well as lower impact activities such as Power Plate,Yoga or Pilates. I always created my own fitness sets for my iPod and DJing globally, my gym kit is as precious to me as my CDs when I travel. I find the music invigorates me whether it’s a quick run on the beach in Goa or an outdoor fitness class in Ibiza!”
Defected presents Bodymusic Run (DJ Workout 2) contains a main workout mix plus bonus warm up and cool down mixes. Based around classic uplifting house vocals from ATFC, Dennis Ferrer, The Shapeshifters and Kings Of Tomorrow amongst many others, there are plenty of house anthems and familiar disco hooks to keep energy levels high for more miles on running, cycling and general cardio workouts.
Defected presents Bodymusic Gym (DJ Workout 3) contains a main workout mix plus bonus warm up and cool down mixes. More suited to a gym workout on machines or with free weights and interval training, the music is a little tougher and certainly more epic. Once again, there’s plenty to be familiar with: Bob Sinclar is joined by Sandy Rivera, Haji & Emanuel and Tensnake and with many of the vocal tracks there’s plenty lyrically to get inside your head and really push you to achieve the ultimate training goal.
Defected presents Bodymusic Chillout, Stretch & Tone (DJ Workout 4) contains two de-stressing DJ mixes. With this edition we explore another side to fitness with slowed down sounds for a more relaxed workout. Better suited to stretching, Yoga and Pilates the focus is on well-being with house music for the mind, body and soul and includes favourites from Afterlife, Louie Vega, Guitarra G, DJ Gregory and Dubtribe Sound System.
