WORKOUT WEDNESDAYS: Feeling Good (Part I)
Since I drop the term ‘feel-good’ so much when characterizing some of my fuego, I figured a narrowed and concrete post is necessary. To no surprise, feel-good does for one exactly what one reads. Also it’s a term that’s synonymous with Avicii, a young Swede who has made 2011 (and all of us) his bitches. When I think of feel-good house, what stands out to me? Perhaps it’s the strong and soulful vocals (e.g., Chris Willis, Nadia Ali, and Max’C), warm synths, and soothing house piano strings that totally take my mind off anything stress-related. Isn’t that also a reason why we work out? Thus, it would make perfect sense to throw on a feel-good kickmix for your workout to double the dose of stress-relief. I hope you enjoy this selection as much as I do.
Nadia Ali – Rapture (Avicii New Generation Extended Mix) Avicii has a really unique style because he’s able to complement his signature feel-good elements with moderately hitting bass. But as you will see in one of his more recent hits “Blessed”, the bass is anything but moderately hitting.
Disfunktion – Lost All The Ways feat. Nicky Prince (Original Mix) Having been mistaken as Avicii for their smasher “Galette”, Disfunktion has clearly shown us that they a distinctive style. It’s those filtered synths that come around 2:15 that never fail to give me the goosebumps.
Cristian Marchi and Nari & Milani – I Got You feat. Max’C (Antillas & Dankann Club Mix)
David Guetta – Love Don’t Let Me Go (Walking Away) feat. Chris Willis
Alex Gaudino – I’m In Love (Original Mix)
Dirty South – Phazing feat. Rudy (Original Mix)
Marcus Maison & Will Dragen – Digital Freedom (Original Mix)
Tom Hangs feat. Shermanology – Blessed (Avicii Edit)
Tiesto & Marcel Woods – Don’t Ditch (Original Mix)
Tim Berg – Bromance (The Love You Seek) [Avicii's Extended Vocal Mix] You knew it was coming, you are valiant and fearless!
