“I’ve always been a fan of R3HAB since we worked together a while back so when I suggested to Peloton, we reach out we were so glad he answered the call. I’ve loved seeing him take this song in an exciting new direction and reinventing “It’s A Vibe” as a Pride anthem for the Peloton members and beyond. I’m obsessed with Peloton and how they’ve raised a community movement like no other and I’m thrilled that they chose “It’s A Vibe” as their Pride Month theme.”– RIP Youth
“Music is essential to my workout routine – the right mix can really make or break a session. The opportunity to develop a remix specifically for workouts was invigorating and really got me thinking about my process, and how I could produce in a way that fits perfectly for a great cycling session. Working with Peloton on the “It’s A Vibe” remix has been a great time and I can’t wait to see the Peloton community connect with it.” – R3HAB
