When it came time to assemble his cycling-oriented Apple Music Fitness Mix, Joe Kay looked for inspiration in his work as the host of the Apple Music radio show Soulection. “I [included] a lot of my favourite blends that I’ve been playing out the last few months—ones I’ve discovered through the radio show, jam sessions and live sets,” he tells Apple Music. The mix leans heavily on drill and UK samples, which Kay says helped him segue into stretches of light jungle and drum ’n’ bass. “Similar to the way a workout gets your blood flowing, the mix starts off high-energy, transitions into a recovery period, and then paces out to a progressive momentum,” he says. Among his favourite moments: MDU aka TRP’s “Message” featuring Kabza De Small, a sultry amapiano track that Kay has on heavy rotation. “It’s extremely soulful, all-day music,” he says. “It’s a great way to start the day and it helps me calm my anxiety. And it’s a good bridge or middle ground to go into those deeper sounds.”
