Musical Adrenaline: 10 Best EDM Running Songs (Summer Is Coming Edition)

Welcome.

In honor of what we like to call ‘the boom’ (that magical moment in spring when everyone begins acting-a-fool because they realize summer isn’t that far away anymore) – we’ve put together another edition of ‘Musical Adrenaline’ for your audio entertainment.

Like craft beers, the temperature, and your general outlook on life – workout routines change by the season. Every new one brings a different running environment, and of course – every new season demands a fresh playlist.

So, put the shitty winter behind you. And more importantly, stop talking to me about it in the elevator. Your breath smells like old cheese mixed with burnt rubber, and I have no interest in becoming your friend. Seriously, why do people feel so obliged to make conversation in the elevator? Like, come on dude – I’m reading the tag on the bottom of my sweater – does it really seem like I want to talk?

Anyways….

Put on your sneakers, download these songs, and go break a sweat.

Summer is coming.

10. Porter Robinson – ‘Sea of Voices’

I always like to get my run started with something slow. And this track off of Porter’s new album is pretty ideal.

9. Jaytech – ‘Megastructure’

One of many songs from Anjunabeats that I’ve utilized for ‘physical health’ purposes over the last few weeks. And ‘waking up way too fucking early’ purposes.

8. Vicetone – ‘White Lies’

The latest single from Vicetone. These Dutch up-and-comers still continue to find their way onto every list we throw together. Although this doesn’t quite hit the spot like their ‘Clarity’ remix (I don’t know if anything will) – it certainly does the trick.

7. Calvin Harris – ‘Summer’

Need I say more?

6. Bastille – Pompeii (Audien Remix)

‘Hindsight’ (Audien’s newest single) and ‘Circles’ were both true contenders. But Audien’s rendition of Bastille’s smash-hit was unprecedented. It’s definitely the best spin on ‘Pompeii’ (there’s been many), and maybe the best remix of the year so far.

5. Avicii – ‘Liar Liar’ (Avicii by Avicii Remix)

1 of the 2 songs included from Avicii’s upcoming (self) remix EP (True, Avicii by Avicii). I won’t go on about how brilliant Tim Bergling’s latest project is, I’ll just let you hear for yourself. ‘Liar Liar’ was my least favorite song on the original True album.

Not anymore.

4. Ilan Bluestone – ‘Waves Of LA’ & ‘Elysian’

I included Ilan’s entire new mini-EP for two reasons:

1. The individual links weren’t available.

2. I couldn’t decide between ‘Elysian’ and ‘Waves of LA’.

So i’ll let you decide.

3. Progresia feat. Linnea Schossow – ‘Fire, Fire, Fire’ (Ilan Bluestone Remix)

Oh what the hell, this imminent trance sensation deserves the extra attention. This is Ilan Bluestone’s remix of ‘Fire, Fire, Fire’ – and it has single handedly given me numerous stomach cramps and back aches over the last few months. Give it some time to pick up.

After the 2-minute mark you’ll be running on air.

2. Avicii – ‘You Make Me’ (Avicii Remix)

You just can’t go wrong with the 80’s.

1. Kaskade – ‘Atmosphere’

And of course, I always save the best for last. This is a beat I’ve been playing on repeat all month long. And frankly, Kaskade’s masterpiece is one of the most captivating melodies that mankind has ever created. Seriously…I’m not kidding.

Stop laughing at me!

EDX & Leventina – The Tempest (Extended Mix) [Spinnin’ Records]

Music makes me lose control, even if it’s 9:00 AM on a Tuesday.

Two names rarely covered yet happily discovered by Rager Onions, EDX and Leventina have slowly but surely climbed their respective ways up the ladder to stardom. EDX first hit the scene in 1994, releasing various mix tapes that found their way into the hands of some of the biggest names in dance music in the mid-90’s. An Italian native, EDX has remixed songs for the likes of Deadmau5, Axwell, Steve Angello, Laidback Luke, Armin Van Buuren, Kaskade and Funkagenda.

Leventina also know a thing or two about success in their own right. Andrea and Christian encapsulate the defining sound of Spinnin’ Records. Known for their masterful production work in the studio, the two young Swiss musicians find themselves near the top of the electro house charts. With a vast knowledge of the history of house music, the up and coming duo have progressed their unique, niche sound to new heights. With songs released on Unreleased Digital, S2 Records, Strictly Rhythm and Defected, Christian and Andrea have truly made a name for themselves so far in 2013.

With their latest collaboration “The Tempest”, EDX and Leventina continue to prove their worth in the industry of electronic dance music. Their latest single is available for a free download after the break. And don’t forget to support these artists by purchasing the song on Beatport.
