It’s a bit of a crescendo, with the higher-energy tracks towards the later stages of the mix. “I wanted to keep the energy high, while still selecting tracks that were pleasant to listen to-to play in any setting. For most people, it’s almost a requirement to any fitness regimen.” As such, the LA-based DJ/producer assembled the first-ever Fitness Mix for the gym, a nearly hour-long set to guide you through weight training, a HIIT workout, or any other equally challenging fitness routine. “It’s a pretty crazy idea, but it’s so obvious.
“We hope it provides listeners with some degree of calm and solace in these wild times,” says Siljamäki.Īt their core, there’s a philosophy that drives all Apple Music Fitness Mixes: “Music is this primal tool that gives us that extra boost of energy during our workouts,” Valentino Khan tells Apple Music. “It was the opening track of our first yoga set at Robot Heart, Burning Man in 2014, and sets the mood instantly.” This mix is created for students and teachers alike to guide their practice or class instruction. We try to structure our mindfulness mixes with a smaller, intimate opening before stretching out to more string-based records.” Case in point: the inclusion of Jon Hopkins’ gorgeous ambient track “Abandon Window,” which “always finds its way into our downtempo sets,” says Siljamäki. “That's always been the goal with our Flow State albums and mixes. “Through raised awareness, being more present, one can reach a state of flow: a creative and free state of mind where time, fear, and stress dissipate,” says Siljamäki. So the group, which has collaborated with fellow yoga practitioners Elena Brower and ChauKei Ngai in the past, was a natural choice to design the inaugural Apple Music Fitness Mix for yoga, which follows the energy and tempo of a vinyasa flow practice. Since launching their Flow State project in 2019, Above and Beyond have released three albums “to bring people's attention and focus towards helping themselves find better mental fitness and overall happiness in life,” Paavo Siljamäki, one third of the UK trance trio, tells Apple Music. You can listen to the mixes below and find out more about each via the accompanying blurbs, which were sourced from a press release shared with EDM.com. The first collection features exclusive sets from Aluna, Loud Luxury, Valentino Khan, and Above & Beyond, each of whom tailored their selections to a specific fitness setting: Aluna's for riding, Khan's for the gym, Luxury's for running, and Above & Beyond's for yoga. Moving forward, fans can expect one new mix each month.
