Welcome to our Workout Set series, in which we ask some of the most exciting names in underground music to create their ideal workout mix for you to sweat to (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Kicking things off,  we have the multidisciplinary dance music artist Dirty Bird (@db_exe), who has been rocking parties and building a cult following across the country with a fresh blend of new and vintage garage, house, funk & jazz. He brings an undeniably soulful flavor and seamless mixing to this nonstop 45-minute journey through 2-step garage & house. 

On his mix, Dirty Bird says "this is a mix of high-energy old and new school garage. During the warmer months, it's the soundtrack to my mountain bike excursions here in Virginia. Breaking a sweat on the bike or at the skatepark to 2-step tracks is the closest one can get to that SSX Tricky/Freeksyle feeling"

Besides being a gifted DJ, Dirty Bird makes incredible music. Check out his latest here: @db_exe

Workout Set #1: Dirty Bird (￣ー￣)ｂ

For today’s Workout Set,  we are going full turbo mode to this mix from New York-based artist/producer DJ: ReCode (@djrecode), a supremely talented creative innovating the Internet music scene with a bombastic, genre-destroying approach to pop music. In 2022, she captivated the hyperpop underground through releases such as the ReCodePop I & II albums and the SuperPop! double single with Fraxiom (@fraxiom) and RYL0 (@ryl0hen). 

On her mix for Strawberry Western, DJ Re:Code says, “When I'm touring, I’m experimenting; playing the newest hyperpop tearout nonsense to play with my crowd’s expectations. But when I’m working out and traveling? This is what I’m listening to. Funky, vibrant, bloghouse and club hits, shuffled beats and deep rhythm. This mix pulls some of my favorites, from Klaus Veen to Justice, Todd Edwards to Hudson Mohawke. Sweat till you drop with this mix, and don’t stop movin’.”

Workout Set #2: DJ Re:Code 三 ┏ ( ˘ω˘ )┛

For the first Workout Set of 2023, we’re honored to host the groundbreaking artist/producer @umru. Over the past decade, the PC Music-signee has worked with an eclectic cast of artists, including Charli XCX, Tommy Cash, Laura Les, Young Kayo, ericdoa, Petal Supply, 645AR, Fraxiom, and many more. He’s become one of the most beloved individuals in the internet music space, having developed a cacophonous, industrial style that’s helped reshape contemporary pop music and which can be heard all over his 2022 EP, Comfort Noise. Umru will soon be embarking on an international tour with stops in LA, Rome, Paris, London, Reykjavik, and Brooklyn. 

“hi i’m umru, and i like to stay active by living in a Walkable City <3 this is a mix of my recent favs from soundcloud rabbit holes and the charts alike, some classic dj set staples, and a song or 2 about walking.”

GM:) It’s time for a Workout Set! Today’s mix is by Jedwill (@jedwill1999), the singer-songwriter/DJ blowing peoples minds with his energetic EDM-meets-pop punk sound. 

We are huge fans of his original music and wild Twitter presence, so we were so excited that he wanted to make a Workout Set for us:)

This insanely eclectic mix goes harder than we even thought possible… pop morphing into dubstep and EDM at hyperspeed 

On his mix, Jedwill says: “My main source of exercise when I’m not DJing on stage is capoeira, which I learn locally with a master and a small class. This mix represents a lot of those high energy, tense moments I feel when I’m training along with the release of energy as we slow down the tempo of our games and then pick them back up."

Workout Set #4: Jedwill╰( ⊹o⊹)╮

Good morning ya’ll! For today’s Workout Set we have Tokyo-based artist @hirihiri, an insanely talented producer/DJ who’s helping lead the hyperpop movement in Japan. Having released music on epic online imprints such as Japanese net-label @maltine-record and @deskpopmusic, hirihiri has become a beloved fixture in the online music scene :) 
 
Going from baile to dubstep to hardstyle to distorted, blown-out bangers (all mixed with a hint of silliness), this set is sure to jumpstart your week from across the pond. 

On his mix, hirihiri says: “Hi, I'm hirihiri from Japan! My main source of exercise is walking around the city, but every so often I also hit the gym. During my workouts, I listen to heavily distorted, fast-paced music like frenchcore to pump me up for heavy lifting and such. This is a mix about my favorite and meme-y loud music to give you a boost during your working out!”

Workout Set #5: hirihiri ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ

She just announced a new track “If You Want To” ft. Kai Whiston on Friday, February 24, so make sure to check it out! 

On her mix, Petal Supply says, “I like to stay active by dancing around my room listening to my favorite music and kicking my feet around while I text my bf".

Greetings from Strawberry Studios
૮• - •ა ♫♪ We are amped to give you Workout Set #7 from the iconic @moistbreezy ✨

@moistbreezy is a rising performer/producer/DJ from NYC bringing the euphoric energy of late 90s / early 2000s dance music into contemporary club and internet music scenes. 

This mix is certified 100% sweaty, a turned up blend of 00’s euro dance, hard trance, some ravey pop edits and some of moistbreezy’s own songs. 

On her mix, moistbreezy says, “Staying active is a major priority in my life. I love trying out different action and acrobatic sports, from surfing to tricking to trampoline. Cardio is also an essential part of my routine. I try to run a 5k a few times a week. It helps me stay fit enough to maintain a high energy on stage during a live performance, but also helps regulate my mood so I can infuse my music with a good vibe! One of my favorite new physical activities though has been biking around the city. And that's what I'm pulling inspiration from for this mix. It's a genre-blending mix that captures the rush of biking through NYC, all the chaos included!”

Siblings Lulu & Angel are giving a blog house-inspired take on contemporary alternative pop music. They just dropped their new album SPEED RUN via @truepanther and will be going on tour with @yvestumor next month.

This Frostberry Western mix is a steamy blend of oddball rave remixes, crazy mashups, and a collection of the duo’s own tracks.

On their mix, Frost Children says, “Yo this is Frost Children welcome to our Frostberry Mix. We included some epic snippets of our new record SPEED RUN, as well as some super even more epic remixes that we have made. We're able to do all this so effortlessly because of our willingness to stay active by taking daily Iron pills since we are vegetarians. We are also about to start a Tennis Club in New York so stay tuned. So grab some Frostberries from your nearest tree and simply vibe!”

Happy Monday ૮• - •ა ♫♪ Strawberry Western is back this week to bring you a heart-pumping mix from popstar @ryl0hen.

After making noise in the hyperpop scene and becoming a regular performer at parties like Subculture & Heav3n, the New Jersey-born, LA-based singer-songwriter/producer has embraced her popstar persona with a recent batch of infectious pop bangers. Last week, RYL0 released “What U Need,” feat. B4DFRi3ND & @koakakoala and produced by @taydex & @yungxansei, ahead of a new mixtape next month. 

Bouncing between all sorts of genres, her mix is a sweaty sample of her favorite tracks - a creative, high-energy blend of songs perfect for your next workout. 

On her mix, RYL0 says: “Working out feels so much harder when you’re listening to the wrong music, so I like to keep everything upbeat, & kind of clubby. Outside of performing, I gravitate towards low-impact activities to keep it easy on my joints - I mainly focus on cardio and walk on the treadmill. It’s a really simple routine, but it’s a very swift walk on a steep incline so when it gets really intense, I really need the right song to set the pace. I love to dance too so I’ll also go wild on a dancefloor, but only when the music is completely spot on.”

In her mix, Sophie shows off her eclectic tastes, from high-energy mashups, heart-pumping club beats and SOPHIE x Fergie remixes.

On staying active, Sophie says, “I try to switch it up in how I stay active, I get bored really easily. So I’ll go to the gym, play pickle ball with friends, walk to the Silverlake reservoir, take a yoga class.  What keeps me consistent with staying active is not putting pressure on it. If all I want to do is stretch, that’s all I’m gonna do that day. Oh and rewarding myself with smoothies too. 💝”

Hometown workout set!

We’re stoked to host Brooklyn-bred artist Bayli, the multi-talented singer-songwriter known for her undeniable bops and celebration of the queer music community. 

Bayli had a big 2023, guest performing with Mura Masa at Coachella and supporting Slayyyter on her US four. the genre-blending artist is just getting started though - she’s working on her debut album and we can’t wait to hear it!!

Bayli’s Workout Set is our most eclectic mix yet, weaving through Afro-dance genres, funk, and even jazz - a combination that’s sure to stimulate your mind as you exercise your body. 

On her mix, Bayli says, “I like to stay active by doing mostly cardio because it keeps me stage ready - so cycling, running, morning walks and hot/ vinyasa yoga, which used to be my main but I’ve slowed down with it a bit recently, though I’m trying to get yoga popping again! I also do little things everyday, like stand on the subway or take the stairs to keep my body active, which isn’t super hard in an active-ass city like NYC. 

This mix shares perspective on what’s been inspiring me lately. aAlot of African music (amapiano, and house. with a few analog oldies sprinkled in because I’ve always been an old soul, IYKYK). And since i was in my Strawberry Western work out mode I wanted to create a lively and healing mix that you could work out or move your body to. Every song in this mix is super rooted and rhythmic, and you just can’t help but move your feet to it… that’s how i want people to feel listening to my mix. Inspired + healed + sexy/ that bitch, always that bitch."

Workout Set #16: Bayli

Hello everyone! It’s an honor to host the Somali, Oslo-based artist @swankmami-music for our newest Workout Set. The up-and-coming singer-songwriter made a huge splash last year with her Eurostar EP (out via Honeymoon), which was one of the most refreshing takes on pop/dance music that we’ve heard recently. 

Known for her “crying in the club” anthems, Swank Mami is already rubbing shoulders with industry big shots, having featured in Travis Scott’s Circus Maximus movie, and is soon to be opening for 21 Savage in Norway. 

Her mix for Strawberry Western is a vibey, bouncy blend of rap classics (both new and older), amapiano beats, and icy European club bliss. 

On her curruent workout routine, Swank Mami says “I stay active by going to the gym! Right now my obsession is pilates and strength training so when I work out, the music needs to be a good balance of “oop i wanna dance" but also motivating enough to finish your reps. Summer right around the corner so we gotta get tewww it 🤭”
