Music That Matters, Vol. 708 - Love & Fire

We believe that everyone who runs should have a great soundtrack. Not one curated by an algorithm, but one that&rsquo;s hand-picked by a DJ who runs too. The Runcast with John Richards brings you a dynamic mix of music and inspiration to keep you company and motivate you on your run, no matter what your level.

Music

On our first Runcast of 2024, John spotlights how dangerous it can be for women and female identifying runners to simply go out for a run, and what it means to be a good ally. Soundtracking this run is a powerful range of artists, from Empress Of and AURORA to Hana Vu and Beth Gibbons.

Middle Kids - Bend
Brimheim - No Liver, No Lungs
GEMZ - Younger
Salt Cathedral - Terminal Woes
Empress Of - Femenine
Ibibio Sound Machine - Mama Say
AURORA - Some Type of Skin
Tinsley - Distract Me
Hana Vu - Hammer
Blondshell - Docket (feat. Bully)
