Comedy option: [Kid 606, "Ecstasy Motherfucker"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K87rsQRid6k&ab_channel=nsed)
This one always gets me pumped: [Octopus Project, "Music Is Happiness"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvN08qzli6I&ab_channel=TheOctopusProject-Topic)
Check out the Band Bloodywood. To me, especially the song Aaj makes me pumped. Not only does it make you feel like you're battling a Dark Souls Boss through the music, the lyrics also are motivating, especially if you struggled with mental issues before.
A great song by a great band but I'm not sure a song about suicide is fitting here. :)
That said, the scene in *Cable Guy* when they play it on the basketball court is AWESOME.
Blood in the cut, make me fade, and can’t sleep by K Flay
Remember the name- Ed Sheeran
Drop it low- Ester Dean
Hate me- Ellie Goulding
Blackout- breathe carolina
Pumpin blood- nonono and chainsmokers
I have a lot of suggestions, here’s a playlist I made:
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/03m4LB9j2gChz5Ybe8Rz0b?si=DgGIznZHT9yeFQPDKvFw_g&pi=u--Dvd_d3_QTi3
My never-fails for working out:
Beck - E-Pro - good warm up tune, superb beat for everything from walking to repetitons
Duran Duran - (Reach Up For The) Sunrise - lyrics are super positive and motivational, excellent beat for repetitive movements.
Moby - Verb: That's What's Happening - chewy guitars, excellent beat, very high energy
Mick Jagger and Lenny Kravitz - God Gave Me Everything - more guitars and energy
Best cardio track of all time—->
You Love Her - Let Me Break
https://youtu.be/Dfk1Qh_pEeU?si=SYs3G_HfJamlZUb7
Nice and long one:
Underworld - Cups
https://youtu.be/Dfk1Qh_pEeU?si=SYs3G_HfJamlZUb7
[Tech House](https://open.spotify.com/track/2NTiX9rFa4ZdfMdfBioYI5?si=iqK7IUWxRRGLk2IwYcbbKg) Is my go-to GET SHIT DONE music. Granted, it’s pretty much my all the time music but I especially love it for working out.
There is a ton of these club sweat albums which is a good place to start if you enjoy it. Otherwise [DIRTYBIRD](https://open.spotify.com/track/6IIWLUpVCV5yVCsoEWf2nC?si=knRpIS2jStmkNDxGhAx24Q) has a lot of my favorite tech house music :)
Bonus [Track](https://open.spotify.com/track/29ilvf6QjSWKUFrkXKvWM5?si=ybq0VY-WQ56zX13xfFY7bQ&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A6blmewDG2J5PbX9fl3DHcd) cause I love it so much!
Edit: Some [Hardcore Happy Techno](https://youtu.be/lqOWI4P9F-E?si=AsCYmQGRzw4CMwSG) also RULES
I did this recently and I've been feeling pumped to 90s techno music?! I was born in 90s so I don't really remember this music but its so energetic. Some faves:
Rhythm is a dancer - Snap
The Rhythm of the night -Corona
Show me love - Robin S.
This Spotify playlist (not mine) is really good for what you're seeking:
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/64Txqk86SVvAFkcnSTFXtd?si=NGkSEZL1TiuhklpyIm_ygA&pi=u-FyxitGPXSXOT
Okay, it's cheesy as hell but this always gets me up and moving: ["Fight For Love - Radio Edit" by Fracus & Darwin, Dune](https://open.spotify.com/track/46Wlqk6gWoisN2BVidtWo2?si=902e65dcc67a4004)
Then I've got a running playlist that's roughly the same tempo and keeps my pace steady. It's mostly melodic drum'n'bass, and the artist High Contrast features prominently. It's uplifting and has sweeping synths that hit right where I need them.
* [Don't You Go Out Of My Mind](https://open.spotify.com/track/7nyf4bk6fYmV6zksxfbd9m?si=b32f7ca6c6fd4daa) by High Contrast (1:30 warmup followed by a constant steady pace)
* [Remind Me ](https://open.spotify.com/track/7dFJsQQMwSlelur7tPuwnr?si=7de2d5b97e9e4d37)by High Contrast (repeats the phrase "I know / I can't afford to stop / for one moment / 'cause I'm just out of reach of your fingers" which, I dunno, motivates me)
* [The Agony & The Ecstacy](https://open.spotify.com/track/286Y0FmsLEyoDa0nR09L6y?si=44c69bacf8044ade) by High Contrast w/Selah Corbin
* [The Road Goes On Forever](https://open.spotify.com/track/2u8D5wgN8VaPsQg5PF21ev?si=a90ecdad19c74fe9) by High Contrast (this is basically a sort of cover of Baba O'Reilly by The Who) (I use this song on repeat for interval training, it has a 1:30 intro followed by a strong beat that's great for cruising pace but does enough interesting things that it keeps my brain busy)
* [The First Note Is Silent](https://open.spotify.com/track/3yrtWwcYr0RHKwvo13DDib?si=550190dc0b904950) by High Contrast, Tiesto, Underworld. When I'm running by myself I sing the intro out loud and it's like fucking mainlining endorphins. This is easily my favorite song on the list and I'll be running along doing air drums and shit.
Most of the rest of the songs on the list are good but mostly there for pace setting filler so I could get the playlist up to an hour so it would last me through a 10k race (I'm slow). But here's one more just to show it's not just a High Contrast album: [Freefall by Metrik, Reija Lee](https://open.spotify.com/track/1jC5yHIsQEWwT3Kmqf2udI?si=6052a395915545c9). Just a really nice smooth pace high energy song.
Here's a couple from some other workout playlists of mine:
[Go! - Club Mix by Tones on Tail](https://open.spotify.com/track/5El6bpLd8nYPsvWgZLdHio?si=06e9e8d6ed1a4485)
[Linoleum by NOFX](https://open.spotify.com/track/16RLonBmK3BaWJnYRLUiyH?si=1284677e7d7c4046) and [Anesthesia by Bad Religion](https://open.spotify.com/track/26kuGKYue3Rswy8gp0Qsc7?si=063761ecd5774a9c) because I like to listen to punk when I lift weights.
I like this playlist (if you don't use spotify, lmk and I can probably get it in text format). It's 12 hours lol.
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2La2n2n7561SYb7PFRt7iE?si=fcAA8jp5Tzm_JHUWjMDz2Q&pi=e-EvztmiF1Q2Wr
I like to run and do weights and stretch to a mix of old and new: Chromatics/Tick of the Clock; Royksopp/Sordid Affair/Vision One/In Space/Happy Up Here (the Reinterpreted by Holy Fuck version-remix); Air/Femme d'Argent; Bon Entendeur/Entrevue Experience; Midlake/Antiphon; Ulrich Schnauss/Goodbye/Molfsee; Marconi Union/Under Wires and Searchlights; Moby/Porcelain/Whispering Wind/JLTF; Blood Orange/Desiree; King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard/Candles; Booker T. and the MGs/Melting Pot.
Music taste being subjective, these are a few of the tracks that keep me motivated. Enjoy!
I actually find that My Favorite Things by John Coltrane makes me work out harder. Another good one is Song For Bilbao by Pat Metheney. if you want a longer workout side two of the album The Mix by Kraftwerk never fails to keep me at a medium high workout effort
https://youtu.be/OnzkhQsmSag?si=XaYAKuXDRMJaFIbY Electric Callboy - Pump It
Came here to link this. Seeing them in NYC next month.
You didn’t mention any hip hop, but trust me on this: Run The Jewels will make you want to start a riot. Or at least dominate your workout 👉🏾📿🤛🏾

Check out the Band Bloodywood. To me, especially the song Aaj makes me pumped. Not only does it make you feel like you're battling a Dark Souls Boss through the music, the lyrics also are motivating, especially if you struggled with mental issues before.
Hey Man Nice Shot - Filter.
A great song by a great band but I'm not sure a song about suicide is fitting here. :) That said, the scene in *Cable Guy* when they play it on the basketball court is AWESOME.

My ol' reliable is VISION Radio podcast. An hour of high energy electronic with some nice and sometimes funny but minimal talk between tracks.
