Pitchfork

The latest installment in Nike's Original Run series, in which mixes are optimized for a 45-minute workout session (wonder how often they get used that way), is by one-time wheels-of-steel prodigy and current Kanye West DJ A-Trak. This single is pulled from the mix and it's not hard to imagine hitting the "adrenaline zone" (or whatever happens to long distance runners when they feel that high they're always talking about) when it comes on. This despite the fact that it comes from the mix's first couple of minutes, when you're supposed to be warming up. Punchy electro-beats, stuttering synths, a bassy voice that's talking about bass-- all you need is a clear road and some running shoes. Which brings us back to Nike...
