The Best EDM Songs for Exercising At Home
It’s no big secret that music is the key to a more productive home workout. True enough, a study by post-doctoral scholar Cassie Ellis found that people do in fact play music to motivate them to exercise. Additionally, Ellis discovered that music guides counting, so the tempo greatly matters depending on your routine. For instance, music with a tempo of 120 to 140 BPM pumps more people up during aerobic workouts. However, slow exercises are much more appropriate for music below 120 BPM. In terms of tempo, there’s no genre more diverse than EDM. As such, it’s definitely possible to create a playlist with music that compliments every phase of your routine. Here are five of the best EDM songs you need to boost your home workout routine. M.I.A. – Sunshowers For many people, the har...
“Expedition Unknown” Host Josh Gates on Driving Beaters and Off-Roaders Around the World
Every Wednesday night, Josh Gates takes his fans around the world to investigate the greatest legends and mysteries in history on his show Expedition Unknown. Getting to dig sites, tombs, and lost cities isn’t like taking a vacation, though. Flying commercial is just the first step, followed by a lot of driving in a lot of cool vehicles. Although the show could just jump straight into the legend, a big part of its charm is the journey. Traveling deep into the deserts, forests, swamps, and mountains requires cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, ATVs, helicopters, boats, snowmobiles, and even military vehicles, and that’s all part of the story. Whatever Josh is driving, riding, or piloting, you’ll hear about how good, bad, or just plain odd it is. We got Josh on a video call di...
Driving While Black: Chronicling a Chapter in America’s History on the Road
“Undoubtedly the right of locomotion, the right to move from one place to another according to inclination, is an attribute of personal liberty, and … a right secured by the Fourteenth Amendment and by other provisions of the Constitution.” —Williams v. Fears, 1900 Green Book—the Oscar-winning Hollywood movie loosely based on the life of African American virtuoso pianist Don Shirley and his white driver and bodyguard, Frank “Tony Lip” Vallelonga—introduced white filmgoers to The Negro Motorist Green Book, one of several travel guides used by Black families and business travelers in the Jim Crow era. Many white audiences were startled by the idea that Black Americans driving a car in the supposedly civilized postwar United States could be fraught with racial hazards,...

NGHTMRE, Louis The Child, Dyro, More Share Their Most Precious Memories of Their Dads [Exclusive]
EDM.com wishes a Happy Father’s Day not only to all the dads out there, but also the moms who took on both roles for their kids. To celebrate Father’s Day this year, we connected with some of the biggest artists in dance music, who shared their fondest memories of their father or their children. Break out the tissues because there are some tearjerkers. NGHTMRE “A few years back it somehow worked out that I was playing Sunday of EDC and it was Father’s Day! I flew him out for the weekend and had him hop on stage as a special guest for 1 song. Without thinking much about it I called him “Papa NGHTMRE” over the mic and he has since adopted the nickname. As we walked around the festival after, fans came up to ask for pictures with him! It was a great memory for both of us.” c...
Acura VP Hints at Additional Type S Models During 2021 TLX Walk-Around
The 2021 Acura TLX takes a big step forward for the brand’s mid-size model thanks to its new platform, turbocharged engines, and bold styling. Needless to say, there’s a lot to see and talk about. That’s exactly why MotorTrend’s own Miguel Cortina took a trip out to Honda Proving Center in the Mojave Desert to pore over the new TLX with Acura’s vice president and brand officer Jon Ikeda. The new Acura TLX is immediately distinguishable from the old model by its low-slung front end and long dash-to-axle ratio. Acura claims the latter feature increases by 7.8 inches over the previous model, giving the sedan a long hood and cab-rearward profile. Though its new proportions suggest a rear-wheel-drive layout, the base TLX continues to route its powers to t...
2021 BMW M5 vs. 2021 Mercedes-AMG E 63 S: Spec Check
The high-performance sedan niche is one of the very best in the automotive kingdom. It’s so very unnecessary but so easy to love at the same time. Why wouldn’t you take a massive V-8 and cram it into a midsize sedan? Exactly. Now the good people at M and AMG are battling it out for super-sedan supremacy once more with the refreshed M5 and the updated E 63 S. Coincidentally—or, perhaps not so coincidentally—the mid-cycle refreshes of these two beasts were announced within one day of each other. If that doesn’t scream rivalry, perhaps everything else about these two cars will. Both now have massive, touchscreen infotainment displays, redesigned fascias and exterior lights, and improved tech: The Merc gets the three-pointed star’s MBUX infotainment system and the Bimme...
Watch This 11-Year-Old Perform Spine-Chilling Dance to Excision Song on America’s Got Talent
At the age of 11, most kids are playing soccer, collecting comic books, or playing video games. Noah Epps, though, is dropping the collective jaw of our country after a mind-boggling performance on America’s Got Talent. Noah recently appeared on the famed competition show to perform his patented dance routine, which no one saw coming. The performance started out innocuously with the typical contestant-judge repartee, when Noah informed the judges of his age and the fact that he started dancing in first grade after he tried to enter a dance battle but was stifled by kids who said “he sucked.” Dressed to the nines in a badass marionette outfit and astonishingly realistic makeup, Noah then flung headlong into his routine, in which he languidly dances in robotic fashion to a ...

Energy Storage Technology Could Put an End to Africa’s Blackouts
Sourced from The Times UK. A shift from Africa’s traditional approach to power generation is needed to unleash the continent’s clean energy potential and secure an African future free from blackouts. A strategy centred around energy storage and flexible power systems will be the key to guaranteeing the reliability of a high-renewable grid, while also lowering the cost of electricity for Africans. As Africa’s economies and populations steadily grow, so too does the demand for reliable electricity. Simply put, new power plants need to be built, and the reliability of electrical systems needs to be vastly improved. But here is the challenge: How can African countries build an electrical system that can both integrate a large amount of inexpensive but intermittent renewable energy, while at th...
