She smiled and guided me back. The lighting was warm, the sofa was soft… but music in the wellness center sounded like the soundtrack from a futuristic aquarium. Ambient sounds well intentioned and safe, but when mixed with the medicine, only made me empty and a little sad.

I dug deep into my memory, and deeper into the record bins and came up with a wellness soundtrack that stimulated my memory and provoked optimism.

For the upcoming San Francisco half marathon, running mix sixty opens with a love letter to the 90's San Francisco house scene: We used to dance.

Starting off low and slow. A pavement pounder with a build up at the end.  And...I finally answered the question...how can I get Monster Magnet, Moby and Trio to dovetail together on a running mix. This may or may not have worked... let me know.  For the rest, I drew inspiration 90s and 00s for much of this one, deep cuts and remixes. I did surface to the present day with "I miss you" by Elypsis.

Run safe. Run happy.

Hi, how are you? Hope you are well and staying safe. Mix running number 57 starts with the theme song of the world. But that is all of the symbolism I can muster at the moment. What follows are just songs I listened to social distance running along the great highway with my daughter ...The song that is crowd pleaser you never remember the name of. A track from the 20 something bass goddess, Kinga Glyk. Basement jax... because. The ever reliable Eric Prydz. A Japanese house guy. A Dutch house guy. A Utah house guy (I used to party with at the Manhattan Club). A Pet shops boy track that songs sounds like all and none of their other stuff.
