  • Since 2011, Soulection has been a global creative hub for innovative musicians, crate-digging DJs, and open-minded fans. What began as an independent radio show has blossomed into a worldwide community united in a borderless, genre-bending musical movement. It’s a testament to Soulection staying true to its roots in the age of digital music, from putting out independent releases with producers such as Ta-ku, Sango, Dpat, and Atu to being the first collective invited to play Coachella. Today, Soulection exists as an Apple Music show, an independent music label, a festival (Soulection Experience), and a world-touring concert and clothing line.

  • Cosa Nuestra Radio en Apple Música Uno es un viaje íntimo y divertido al mundo de Rauw Alejandro, bajo la personalidad de Emeterio “Colaco,” un DJ puertorriqueño ficticio nacido en Morovis y ahora residente de Harlem, Nueva York. Ambientado en los años 90, el programa nos presenta a Colaco, un DJ de 48 años con una vida llena de historias: emigró a los 17, ha estado divorciado tres veces, es padre de dos hijos, y tiene un gato llamado Mario. A través de este programa, Rauw Alejandro comparte con los oyentes el acceso a su mente, sus raíces y las personas que han sido fundamentales en su vida y carrera. Desde su abuelo y su padre hasta amigos de la infancia y leyendas de la música, Cosa Nuestra Radio explora cómo estos vínculos han moldeado tanto a Raúl (la persona) como al artista (Rauw Alejandro) capaz de llenar conciertos que es hoy. Las conversaciones revelan no solo el proceso creativo detrás de su música, sino también las conexiones personales y los momentos clave que han definido su camino. Sintoniza para escuchar conversaciones con familiares, amigos y figuras influyentes que, de manera entretenida y cercana, nos llevan a conocer la esencia de Rauw Alejandro: sus raíces y huellas, sus inspiraciones, y el equipo que ha estado a su lado en la creación de su identidad artística.

  • Every music lover has personal classics that have been forgotten to time. You know the ones—the tracks that take you back to a particular time and place almost as soon as the first notes get played. Whether they were chart-toppers or lost personal favorites, you’ll hear those songs—from all variety of genres—on I Miss Radio. Tune in to Apple Music Hits and Apple Music Country to hear the music that left its mark, only on I Miss Radio.

  • Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig is one of indie’s most thoughtful frontmen, and on TIME CRISIS, he digs into today’s politics and pop culture headlines. Some episodes are serious (he hits the campaign trail with Bernie Sanders, and teaches a masterclass on sampling) and some aren’t (you’ll hear heated debates about Cheetos, Yeezys, and Seinfeld), but each show gets an eclectic soundtrack that spans Drake, David Bowie, Diplo, and Def Leppard. Regular guests include Jonah Hill, Mike D, Alana Haim, and co-host Jake Longstreth, but you never know who could stop by. What you can be sure of: No topic is too high-or-low-brow for Ezra’s hot take.
