Pass the Aux

Get pumped bro

Tys Paterson

Now, this is for the enthusiastic gym lovers who need a little bit of musical ecstasy to liven up their day, whether that's before or after a workout to get your blood pumping. I've been an advocate of trying to listen to music for the last 3 months almost everyday at Unirec and have found that these satisfy my adrenaline.

Checking U - Dillon Nathaniel

If you thought I would just bring out a 125 EDM playlist that generic gyms play all the time, think again. But, I'm not a hater, so last but not least, we should praise the EDM category. This ties in with electro/dubstep and techno which is just beautiful; it's so different to most of the techno I hear, even if it's simplistic to an extent. If you just wanna rave in your head, this is gonna work, providing energy until the very end of the song which will leave you in a rush. You can use this with all workouts, but mostly lifting would be good for this. Don't Make - 8Ball & MJG

This is a banger, but don't act like a psychopath when you hear these bars. Bringing back the 2000's crunk Lil Jon vibes, this song makes you want to shake your body. My suggestion? Find a boxing bag and let loose to this song. Or honestly, just do some lifting as it's still powerful either way. Warning: parental advisory, explicit content.

The Wave - Amorphous Feat. Brandy & James Fauntleroy

I found this song by just letting my Soundcloud play random songs, and this brings back the Timbaland/Aaliyah vibes of the early 2000's, which I love. I would say that you could fit this song into any area of working out – matching the lyric, "ride the wave". The song is so simple yet diverse, leading beatboxing with drums and whistles without fucking up Brandy's beautiful vocals. Also if you haven't seen the show Moesha, Brandy at her finest, what are you doing with your life? Watch n' Learn - Rihanna

For the ladies, can't leave them out. This song is hella underrated and honestly just a banger that I couldn’t NOT add it. The genre fits dancehall & reggae matched with r&b, somehow working its way into a trance tune. I would say that you could just run to this for cardio, but honestly who said you couldn't twerk or dance to this?

Hardcoreness - Brodinski

The title says it all; a heavy metal and trap sounding beat, combined to make you want to just stomp or yell and let all your energy go. This would be more appropriate for cardio and specifically sprinting on cardios. But please make sure you drink water.
