This mix was made for my girlfriend's dad, Bill Weidner, who is helping a friend put on 5k run/walks in the Chicago area this summer. The mix is 182 minutes and is designed to be started one hour before race time, when everything is being set up. The music starts slow, building in tempo to pump runners up until the one hour mark hits and the starting-line gun fires. Then, for the next two hours, the music stays uptempo and celebratory to cheer on race participants crossing the finish line. Keep an ear out for references to running, walking, shoes, and Chicago. The selections were quantized, arranged, and fussed over with Ableton Live. Tracklist:
