Apple Music has announced the launch of a groundbreaking 24/7 dance music radio station, Apple Music Club, designed to celebrate and amplify the global dance and electronic music scene. The station—a dedicated home for mixes from some of the world’s most influential DJs, curators, and festivals—is a significant addition to Apple Music’s growing radio programming. With its ambitious scope, Apple Music Club promises to transform how fans engage with club culture and electronic music, offering a platform that is always alive, accessible, and evolving.
Apple Music Club will feature exclusive mixes from renowned artists such as Honey Dijon, Nia Archives, FKA twigs, and Jamie xx, alongside curated sets by celebrated platforms like Circoloco, fabric, The Warehouse Project, and Tomorrowland. The station is committed to providing a diverse and inclusive lineup, showcasing everything from underground club nights to massive festival circuits. Tim Sweeney and NAINA, both recognized for their deep knowledge of electronic music, will serve as guides for listeners, offering context and commentary for each mix. These DJ mixes will also be available on-demand, enabling fans to explore at their leisure.
Honey Dijon, a pioneer in house music, expressed her enthusiasm for this global platform: “I come from the south side of Chicago and never imagined house music would become a global phenomenon. To share the culture and club spirit I grew up with on a global stage is an honor.” Similarly, NAINA highlighted the station’s significance: “To spotlight incredible curators, festivals, and labels worldwide is hugely exciting. Dance and electronic music have been at the core of my life, and I’m thrilled to help listeners dive into the energy, history, and creativity of club culture.”
The station’s launch underscores the growing recognition of dance music’s cultural impact, positioning it alongside genres like hip-hop, jazz, and soul. By broadcasting live and curated content around the clock, Apple Music Club ensures that the party never stops, whether listeners are tuning in from Berlin, Brooklyn, or Tokyo. Jamie xx, reflecting on his contributions to the station, shared: “My show features recordings from The Floor, a club I opened in London. Some of my favorite DJs and collaborators played sets there, and I’m thrilled these moments are now accessible to listeners worldwide.”
Apple Music Club is part of a broader expansion of Apple Music Radio, which also includes two other new stations: Apple Music Chill, focused on ambient and downtempo sounds, and Apple Music Úno, dedicated to Latin music. Oliver Schusser, Apple’s vice president of Music, Sports, and Beats, emphasized the importance of these stations in shaping culture: “Apple Music Radio represents the intersection of exceptional human voices and cutting-edge technology. These new stations are highly curated and hosted by some of the world’s best music commentators.”
The introduction of Apple Music Club marks a significant moment for the global dance music community. By creating a platform that celebrates the genre’s past, present, and future, Apple Music is not just broadcasting music—it’s fostering a sense of connection and shared experience. In an era where AI and algorithms dominate, the human touch of Apple Music Club sets it apart, offering listeners a curated journey through the vibrant world of dance music, 24/7.
