Each month, the Apple Music Fitness Mix is helmed by one of dance and electronic music’s best DJs to deliver the perfect set of tunes for your next workout. This mix, curated by the Italian trio Meduza (composed of Luca De Gregorio, Mattia Vitale and Simone Giani), is specifically geared toward your next ride. “I wanted to recreate the same feeling you have when you go to a club,” De Gregorio tells Apple Music. “You start out with a warm-up, then your rhythm grows step-by-step, and then you wind down toward the end of the session.” This mix, which grows from a relaxed 128 BPM to a steady 135 before sliding back down, features a range of heart-pumping selections tailored toward each phase of the workout. Among De Gregorio’s favourites: “Sandstorm” by Darude (“When I listen to this song, I feel like something is about to explode,” he says) and “Piece of Your Heart”, Meduza’s collaboration with Goodboys. De Gregorio says they like to serve it up as the finale in their live sets. It’s one of those songs that helps you ride the wave of adrenaline that you’ve been on and “helps everyone go home happy”, he says.
