“Music is the heartbeat of my workout,” LA’s HoneyLuv tells Apple Music of her Fitness Mix. “The right track at the right time can either push me through when I want to quit or help me slow down and reconnect with my breath. It is not just background; it sets the tone for the entire session.” As an athlete, and a DJ who regularly puts in multi-hour sets, HoneyLuv, aka Taylor Character, knows a fair bit about endurance and cadence. “My goal was to create a mix that moves like the body does in a workout, with moments of intensity, release, and flow,” she says. “I wanted it to feel like a journey, where each track fuels your energy, challenges your pace, and then gives you space to breathe before ramping up again.” Among these chugging house and techno tracks, HoneyLuv highlights her collaboration with IDRIS, aka Idris Elba, as a favorite, “because it is pure high energy,” she says. “It’s the kind of tune that makes you want to push harder, jump higher, and just keep going.”
