Originally posted by SYSTEM-J I've been getting back into my running recently after a few years break, and I'm in need of some fresh mixes to soundtrack my jaunts. I've got a trusty pool of Essential Mixes that I've absolutely battered to death down the years, as well as my Rapid Transit series I created just for this purpose. So, recommend me your finest pumping energetic progressive house/trance sets. Preferably in good sound quality and ideally downloadable. Please don't bother with any cheesy bollocks from Tiesto/Armin/Ferry Corsten/etc. And nothing after 2002.

I was really surprised to see you post this given your extensive knowledge in exactly that sound. Frankly you'd be one of the people I'd reach out to if I was searching. Nevertheless I'll make my recommendation but I feel a tad uncomfortable as you may have heard this compilation and I'd hate to be that person who always points out the obvious.

Yeah, I know this compilation, and a fine one it is. Very underrated actually.

My knowledge in the field of pumping prog is reasonably extensive, but I last did any serious running about four years ago, and I haven't really put anything new on my phone for that purpose since then. And there are always mixes out there I haven't discovered.

Huge memories with this CD.
I went camping with a few mates 2005 and played Ferry's Remix of Adagio For Strings. A couple walk past saying 'good song' (we're in NZ this doesn't come by often let alone camping). Me and a mate end up spending the rest of the night in their car listening to J00F and Paul Oakenfold essential mixes.
They gave us a CD that had this Renaissance compilation and it changed my music life. Vidapura kicked my love of Marc Mitchell into gear.

If you want it banging and rather trancy (though overlapping quite a bit with what prog jocks like Foort and Kleinenberg played at the time), and don't mind a modest sprinkling of grated cheese in one or two places, this is quite nice, too.

The radio compression makes everything banging though.

Tracklist mostly by moi:

Marco V - Dance Department, Radio 538 (NL), 31 March 2001

01. Medway - Release (Andy Moor Remix) [Hooj Choons]
02. Float - Nothing Seems Real (Original) [Superstition]
03. Timo Maas - Maasmellow (Casseopaya Remix) [Casseopaya Recordings]
04. Stateform - Rio (Main Mix) [PRG]
05. ID
06. Planet Funk - Chase The Sun (Marco V Remix) [Unreleased]
07. Mundo - My Life (Original Mix) [Acetate Ltd]
08. ID
09. ID
10. Breeder - New York FM (Tilt Remix) [Rhythm Syndicate Records]

This is exactly the kind of thing I'm after. Shame there's no download link though. The Bluetooth connection between my shitty phone and my earphones doesn't work properly if I have 4G turned on, hence my need for downloads.

Hopefully I'll get a new phone soon and rectify this daft problem.

You might be interested in these. A journey through the early years of trance and pumping progressive. Most definitely great running music.
