Electrocute the Sound

There is nothing like a good electro/techno beat to spice up your exercise routine. The repetitiveness of the song gives you such a great tempo to work with and really helps keep you motivated. I was thinking about this the other day while I was biking up a pretty steep hill. I was so concentrated on the beat of the music (and breathing!!) that I made it to the top without realizing it.
So, i have scrounged up a couple of the tracks i like (and some of them happen to come with pretty awesome music videos as well). They are in no particular order.

1.) The Chemical Brothers - The Salmon Dance

• Not only informative, this music video also comes with a beatboxing puffer fish and a seriously high kid. I love the creativity and the beat in this one.

2.) Hot Chip - Ready For The Floor

• I wonder how long it took them to wash off all that paint... The chorus is the best.

3.) Bomfunk MC's - Freestyler

• I first heard this song on MTV in a hotel room in Florence, Italy, and man, is it great to dance to! There is no way you can sit still for this one.

4.) DJ Antoine - Work

• Ok, if you ignore what the song is actually talking about for a second, you will find that this is one GREAT workout song! Unfortunately there is no official music video for this, so just sit back and enjoy the music.

5.) Fatboy Slim - Weapon Of Choice

• Christopher Walken dancing. Enough said.

6.) MSTRKRFT - Easy Love

• Gross music video. I actually had never seen it before this posting. Strawberry milkshake aside, what is up with the dentist office?? Anyway...great song. Very similar to Daft Punk.
