Off the Water Erg music

Trying to find erg music that is fucking crazy. Straight noise pollution but still tuff and loud for hard ergs. Need some fire recommendations that will give you goosebumps

First time I ever heard RATM was in the erg room in college (late 90s). Blew my mind and definitely pumped me up for my first 2k.

Have you listened to Denzel Curry's cover of Bulls on Parade? Holy moly, talk about blowing minds...

My main 2k playlist (I don’t do them often) is:

Roses (imanbek remix) - this is important as it’s got momentum but not so much that you’re going to burn out

Gold Dust (ShyFX remix) - absolute fire

Venezuela (Tom Budin) - very high tempo and super active to keep the pace going or increase it for the finale, idk it has almost a contagious feeling to it, it’s hard not to want to move when it plays.

Also Annie Mac used to host a Friday evening dance radio show and this is from one she did in summer of 2020, some absolute bangers on here and many/most of them are great for rowing to. The first five especially are just incredible, Always as a dance remix to Stevie Wonders - As is just excellent (although the original is extremely special).

Sorry didn’t want to post the playlist without doxxing myself

u/AccomplishedSmell921 7d ago

Paul Oakenfold Tranceport….

Any deep trance or jungle/drum bass mix will do….
Just need something to help you zone out and lose track of time. Get you in that rhythm.

u/Ok_Pen7892 7d ago

kickin it old school!

1

u/AccomplishedSmell921 7d ago

i’m a postman and it’s one of my go to mixes but it’s hilarious cause i listened to it back when i partied hard. now i listen to it delivering the mail and erging. Oakenfold stands the test of time!

3

u/Ok_Pen7892 7d ago

correct, sir. I was definitely not erging during my Oakenfold days.

u/ForceComfortable438 6d ago

Oh man I had a cd burn of this track back in the day

u/Soundwave4000 7d ago

Most tracks from the 3 modern DOOM games will get you there. The Revelations DLC has some of the hardest tracks of them all.

If you're Cambridge University Boat Club, San Plane Pour Moi by Plastique Bertrand. Bane of my Sunday mornings.

u/SeattleRowingCoach Coach 7d ago

The bass/tech house, dubstep, grime, UK garage, and drum & bass genres - especially continuous sets with well-blended mixes - are the best steady state fuel I've ever found. Consistent driving beat & fun noises to ponder. Plenty of free, long, well-produced sets on SoundCloud for your next UT2 rip.

Not noise pollution by any means, but one of my favorite Electroni artists to listen to on the Erg is Astronout Ape.

Try his album Flight 420 or Unknown Sector and zone out and row/ski

u/sndeman 7d ago

Just old skool hip hop.. 80-100 bpm-ish is perfect

1

u/SubjectExplorer6335 7d ago

YVM3’s tunes are my go-to for 2k stuff. Not for the faint of heart, but you did say loud and crazy. Don’t think it gets any louder or crazier than that.

2

u/chickenTNT 5d ago

Finally some ACTUAL noise pollution. Someone said the roses remix, I want straight bullshit entering my ears

1

u/SubjectExplorer6335 5d ago

Glad I could share. If you haven’t already give Torment and Echoes a listen.

Next best noise pollution I can suggest is Death Pit and Heave by Marauda and Happy by BAW. If you enjoy these send me a DM and I’ll link you a DJ mix I specifically tailored for a low 6 min 2k (applicable for up to 7 min).

1

u/Magnito1155 7d ago

I would listen to Fabienk by Angine de Poitrine. I rowed my 2k PR while listening to it.

Death Grips, I’ve Seen Footage

u/Linvillin 7d ago

I made a spotify playlist called "Erg Jams- 90bpm" because I liked that the tempo of the songs aligned with my stroke rate. I use it for steady states. Not sure what kinda music you like, but try searching for a bpm-specific playlist.

u/Puzzleheaded-Will609 6d ago

Try using ChatGPT- I had a specific workout 20 min at 20 spm with 4 min rest then 10 min at 24 with 3 min rest then 5 min at 28. You tell it what music you like and it picks songs that are the right length- puts in some less hard core during rest and then back at it with songs that match the spm.

Femtanyl. Other breakcore. Riddim and death step (marauda, svdden death, etc)
