The Ultimate Playlist for a Dance Party That Doubles as a Workout

The Ultimate Playlist for a Dance Party That Doubles as a Workout

Daybreaker wants you to sub out some of your pre-work sweat sessions for early-morning dance-fests.

Every week, Your New Favorite Playlist introduces you to workout-worthy tunes from a different fitness brand. This week, Daybreaker shares one of its recent playlists.

Radha Agrawal and her friend Matt Brimer were eating late-night falafel in Brooklyn when an idea occurred to them: Instead of hitting the club scene to dance—which left them feeling exhausted at best and hungover at worst—why not introduce an early-morning version that could replace a pre-work cycling or yoga class?

"We said, 'How can we turn the morning into a carnival-like experience that people won't ever forget and will carry into their day and bring that creativity into their workplace?" says Agrawal. The first Daybreaker event, a two-hour sober dance party with a live DJ, various other performers, and healthy breakfast options, took place last December in New York—and it was an instant hit. Now, the festivities are held twice monthly in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles—and they're expanding to even more cities. To attend a Daybreaker event near you ($25 per ticket), sign up to receive local newsletters at dybrkr.com. In the meantime, you can enjoy your own sweat-infused dance party with this mix, which DJ and producer Eric Sharp played at Daybreaker's Los Angeles launch:
