Apple Music has taken the global EDM community by storm with the launch of Apple Music Club, a 24-hour electronic dance music station. Designed to keep the rave alive at all hours, the station delivers an eclectic mix of club-ready beats, exclusive sets, and curated showcases from the biggest names and brands in the electronic music scene.
Apple Music Club kicked off its broadcast with Inner City’s iconic anthem “Big Fun” and offers on-demand access to DJ mixes via the platform’s “DJ Mixes” tab. The station features a stellar lineup of exclusive sets from Jamie xx, Honey Dijon, FKA twigs, and Nia Archives, alongside contributions from renowned curators like Tomorrowland, CircoLoco, fabric, and Hï Ibiza.
Guiding listeners through this vibrant world of electronic sound are Apple Music hosts Tim Sweeney and NAINA, who provide insightful commentary and context for each mix. “Dance and electronic music have been at the core of my life,” said Sweeney, “and I’m excited to help listeners dive into the energy, history, and creativity of club culture around the world.”
The station brings a human touch to its cutting-edge programming, a sentiment echoed by Honey Dijon, who reflected on house music’s journey from the Chicago underground to global prominence. “To be able to take my culture and the club culture I grew up in and share that with the world is something I’ve never thought was possible,” she shared.
Expanding Apple Music Radio’s Reach
Apple Music Club’s debut is part of Apple’s broader radio expansion, which includes two other new stations:
- Apple Music Chill, focusing on ambient and downtempo tracks curated by artists like Brian Eno and Stephan Moccio.
- Apple Música Uno, celebrating Latin music with genres like reggaetón, cumbia, and Latin pop, with Latin superstar Becky G as its launch host.
These stations join Apple’s existing lineup of Apple Music 1, Apple Music Hits, and Apple Music Country, delivering curated experiences for diverse audiences.
Zane Lowe, Apple Music’s Global Creative Director, emphasized the importance of human curation in an increasingly digital world: “Apple Music Radio is live. It’s real people, it’s a shared event, and I’m so excited to be broadening that experience to listeners worldwide.”
Listeners can tune into Apple Music Radio for free, across all Apple devices or via the web at music.apple.com.
Jamie xx’s Exclusive Contribution
Jamie xx’s contributions to Apple Music Club are a highlight, with sets recorded during his 10-day London club event, The Floor. Featuring performances by his friends and collaborators, these mixes offer a rare glimpse into Jamie’s vision of dance music’s diverse and ever-evolving culture.
Apple Music Club marks a new chapter in how electronic music is celebrated, curated, and shared globally, making it a must-listen station for fans of both mainstream and underground EDM.
