Brand new track with a brand new video to match, which took me literally weeks to animate on Blender and edit, so y'all better enjoy it! One for the classic witch house people, but also maybe trance and breaks and 90s rave vibes www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAY2... #witchhouse #darkwave #goth #music

The first track 'Union' from my forthcoming album is dropping everywhere this Thursday Apr 10th.

Waterproof socks!?! I'm curious but also sounds like it's gonna be a gross sweaty mess inside. Are they actually comfortable?

Here in Berlin we have a fresh layer of snowy slush on the ground. Asphalt seems too slippery and grass too wet to run. When it's proper icy I can put the spikes on and run ok, but anyone have good tips for #running in the slush without getting freezing wet feet?

By this taxonomy I'd be a Mindful Runner; which at first glance doesn't sound like me at all, but actually now that I think it through it does make sense, as I often go for a run to "clear my head", running alone for the solitude but race because I need a goal to work towards.

Good to know that a maximum of 170 probably isn't fast enough. For me 180 seems crazy fast but then I also have very long legs so maybe that's a factor.

What kind of music gets you motivated when #running? I always like something that can trigger a bit of euphoria, like late 90s trance records and mixes, but many people have told me they find the right kind of vocals really motivating. Do you have a favourite track, album, artist or DJ mix?

Let me know how it goes if you give it a try, I'm thinking of what to do next on this theme so all feedback is useful :-)

Here's a little silly commercial spoof I made for the project. Silly as it may be, I stand fully behind the joy of running with cadence-synced music.

In my own testing it's extremely clear what BPM music I was listening to πŸ˜€ Matching strides to beats not only creates a great feeling, it's also great for maintaining pace in training and regulating your stride cadence.

vitling: Cadence 12-track seamless loopable album at multiple tempos by Vitling

Last year, after many years of creating custom mixtapes for my running workouts, I decided to create my own original music with running in mind. It's a seamless loopable 1 hour album, available in 150, 160 and 170bpm. I've been running with it ever since www.vitling.xyz/cadence/
