Strong beats for strengthening mind, body, and soul. What's the word for today?

This week we put a bunch of different styles in a blender and come up with an eclectic mix of electric toonz for athletic fun.

Not a device for hurling cats, but a jet-assisted takeoff that'll move you fast enough to get windburn.

A varied mix with some seriously funky stuff, one of my favorite dark & tribal tracks, a terrific remix of a funk classic, and one of my favorite melodic enders.

A hellacious percussion barrage that transitions to house for the peak, then takes you the rest of the way with a big slab o' psy trance. Just like Mom used to mix.

Several tracks featuring guitar, which is one reason I called this "Troubador." The other is because many troubadors were travelling musicians. Works for me!

It's fun when music conjures landscapes. It's even more fun when you can travel across them.

Rocket-fueled tribal beats bookending a solid-core engine of high-energy psy trance, and coming back to Earth with two gorgeous progressive house tracks.

We lure you in with nice opening tracks, then push you along with seriously dark tribal percussion.

This Podrunner birthday present from dj beatsmith is a high-energy ramp mix that's a musical gale at your back.

A frenzied hour of plugged-in Code Blue jolt juice.

This starts out amped up and builds from there. It's also fairly trippy, especially at the peak. Don't fall down!

Funky house toonz familiar, new, and classic to get body and soul heading in the right direction.

Driving, percussive tribal house bookended by progressive house and uplifting trance.

A guided tour with terrific remixes of "I Feel Love," "She Blinded Me with Science," and "Our House," as well as an epic ending track from Head Honcho, "Waters of Jericho."

This asks the burning question, Why don't they allow dancing at the philharmonic?

Straight-up tribal house for the first half, then after the peak it turns into a long, uplifting section that's one Podrunner's best ending sequences.

This "ramp" mix accelerates steadily over the hour, reaching 25% of the target at 15 minutes, 50% at 30 minutes, 75% at 45 minutes, and 100% at 55 minutes, for a great conditioning workout.

A driving hour with remixes of Janet Jackson, Oingo Boingo, Suzanne Palmer, and a bluesy harmonica loop mix opener by yours truly.

This one seems to get faster as it goes, but it doesn't. Around 40 minutes in it's invaded by a band of hallucinating psy goa trance musicians and it just gets crazy.

This first mix of the 2008 is driven, pushing forward, and full of promise by the end.

A smooth, driving mix that intensifies over the hour with a classic late-90s trance and progressive-house sound that doesn't let up until around minute 50.

Straightforward house to funky tech-house to progressive house, with a solid energy building throughout.

A solid hour of great vocals, irresistible hooks, and relatively unembarrassing lyrics.

A nice build to a solid progressive-house midpoint, and then utterly lunacy for the last half.

An hour stuffed with classic dance tracks and surprising new takes on familiar songs. Obey the Machine.

Some older favorites running along with you at a pretty good clip down a dark tunnel until you all emerge into the light.

A great selection of music influenced by a wide variety of cultures. One nation, underground.

This mix was made by Martians who heard about Podrunner but never listened to it. The wheels come off around minute 19; the brakes fail right about the time it peaks and starts downhill.

A fairly downtempo mix that feels like a dark landscape. Prog house, breakbeat, classic house from Angel Moraes, and a killer tribal tech house track from Slim Yelow, one of LA's best-kept secrets.
