As owner of Vancouver’s premiere concert production company, Malcolm Croome knows his tunes. He and his partner founded Sealed With a Kiss, a.k.a. SWAK,-- famous for delivering shows from internationally acclaimed acts like Interpol, Justice, The Hives, Broken Social Scene, Arcade Fire, Ted Leo, and tons more.

SWAK is locally revered as the company that’s put Vancouver on the map as a must-stop location for what are arguably the world’s hippest musicians—the ones you often read about in Pitchfork--, or Nylon.

I asked Malcolm to compile a stellar workout playlist for us, and he has complied. Below, Mr. Croome’s recipe for picking up the pace:

• Lykke Li - I'm Good, I'm Gone (Black Kids Remix)
• Hercules & Love Affair - Blind
• Chromeo – Tenderoni
• Girl Talk - Hands in the Air / In Step
• Jokers of the Scene - Y'all Know The Name (Flosstradamus remix)
• The Count & Sinden (feat. Kid Sister) - Beeper (A-Trak Remix)
• Crookers - Knobbers
• The Presets - I Go Hard, I Go Home
• Cut Copy - Lights & Music
• Ladyhawke - Back Of The Van
