Apple ships three new radio channels: Chill, Club, Latin
Apple has introduced three new music channels catering for Latin music, clubbing and chilled out tunes. Each of the channels features seriously impressive names from within those genres, including Brian Eno and many more. The channels are available for free to anyone through Apple Music Radio – you don’t need a subscription.
What Apple said
“Apple Music Radio is the beating heart of our service, representing the intersection of exceptional human voices and curation with cutting-edge technology that shapes and influences culture,” said Oliver Schusser, Apple’s vice president of Music, Sports, and Beats. “We put a lot of time and care into making sure these new radio stations are really bespoke, highly curated, and hosted by some of the world’s best music commentators with unique programming that we know our listeners will love.”
“Music is crucial to our health and happiness, and what Apple Music Radio brings is a sense that your music is always there for you, always on, and waiting for you to just tap in,” said Zane Lowe, Apple Music’s global creative director and lead anchor for Apple Music 1. “In a world of AI and algorithms, 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 with three new stations.”

Apple Música Uno
Apple Música Uno showcases Latin music around the world, led by big current names from the genre, including: Becky G, Rauw Alejandro, Grupo Frontera, Evelyn Sicairos and Lechero. Artists will frequently provide track-by-track breakdowns of their own albums, as well as a look into the songs that have most recently inspired them. On-air talent will speak Spanish and English.
Apple Music Club
Apple Music Club is dedicated to dance and electronic music, as well as club culture. It will feature mixes from DJs across the world’s clubs, with Tim Sweeney and NAINA as guides, providing context around each mix. New and exclusive mixes from Honey Dijon, Jamie xx, FKA twigs, and Nia Archives have also been confirmed, in addition to sets from Apple Music curators Circoloco, Tomorrowland, The Warehouse Project, fabric, Hï Ibiza, Stone Island Sound, and more.
Apple Music Chill
Apple Music Chill will be a continuous flow of chill highlights across genres, interspersed with mindful moments to remind listeners to make the time to find center and calm. Brian Eno, Stephan Moccio, and Zane Lowe will host their own shows, while Apple Music’s Sabi will act as station guide throughout the week. “All my listening life I’ve been drawn to the slower, quieter, more mysterious end of the musical spectrum,” said Eno. “My radio show gives me the chance to share with others some of the things I’ve found there.”
