Interested in something new and different to rock your next cycling class? Look no further. Beats Antique just came out with their new album Shadowbox on October 5, and you'll find some interesting tunes to add to your next playlist. They've been around for about ten years, but they're definitely not mainstream. There musical style covers many different genres, so you'll just need to listen for yourself. One of my favorites to use (and probably one of their most popular) has been Beauty Beats from their 2008 album Collide (90 bpm). You can take a listen here:

Here's a great new track that just dropped today from OneRepublic. Their fourth album, Oh My My is expected to be released on October 7th. This song from the album includes a collaboration with one of my favorites singer/songwriters, Peter Gabriel. It's definitely a different sound for OneRepublic, but in a very good way. At 60 rpm, it's going to be on the steeper end of a hill. Enjoy!

Happy New Music Friday! I've got plenty for you to pick from this week with some old and new remixes of a track that was first released in 2010. deadmau5 has just released new remixes of Strobe to coincide with their 100th release. Check out the Feed Me Remix. From :00 to 3:20 you've got a climb at around 65 rpm. At 3:20, it slows way down for a heavy climb in the saddle. At the 6:30 mark it picks back up for nearly 2 minutes before slowing down again so you can finish with a slow steady climb. Do you have a favorite Strobe Remix?

I love finding and sharing the latest music with you each week, but this week I'm going back a few years to share a song I've been loving lately. We'll be riding on a flat road at about 95 RPM with this song from 2001:
