How House Music is Getting Healthier
The house music scene isn’t just about late nights anymore. More and more, people are finding ways to keep their energy charged and stay healthy while still enjoying themselves at the function. Here’s how the culture is fusing well-being with the music:
1. Balancing Movement, Mindfulness, and Community
If there’s one brand that’s truly blending wellness with house music, it’s Daybreaker. In partnership with PARCH, they’ve created a morning drink that mixes turmeric, Yaupon tea, and adaptogens for a vitality boost and stress relief. But it doesn’t stop there—they also host sober events, yoga classes, and blissful parties featuring saunas and cold plunges, all designed to keep your mind and body in sync.
To take it a step further, Daybreaker launched the Belong Center, a non-profit dedicated to tackling loneliness and fostering a sense of belonging through public arts, culture, and experience design. Their mission? Building stronger connections and supporting mental health in communities.
2. DJs Running
Some DJs, like John Summit, have been stepping off the decks and into run clubs. It’s not just about dancing anymore – it’s about getting active with your favorite artists. These run clubs are a great way to get moving while still being part of the music community. John also tracks his runs on Strava, where fans can follow his fitness journey and share their own.
3. Clubs That Don’t Just Serve Spirits
In addition to the usual club drinks, venues are offering cleaner options like ginger shots and coconut water straight from the nut. Our beloved rooftop at Superior Ingredients offers fresh coconut water, while other spots serve up throat-kicking ginger shots to give you the boost you need to dive back into the chaos.
4. Meditation on the dance floor?
Club Space hosts 4:20 Space Yoga every Saturday, where yoga and music come together in a unique way. Led by Tiffany April Levy, the class has a laid-back vibe with music playing in the background. It’s a great way to stretch, unwind, and connect with others before the night kicks off. The same dance floor you’ll be partying on later is where you’ll be doing yoga now.

5. Healthier Snacks Are Making Their Way In
Gone are the days of greasy pizza and energy drinks. Nowadays, events are offering healthier options like fresh juices, matcha, acai bowls, electrolytes, and protein bars. It’s not about ditching the fun, but making sure you’re fueling up properly while you're at it.
