Apple Music announces new curators for Summertime Sounds 2025

Producer and DJ JAZZWRLD, who gained significant traction in 2025 with a blend of 3 Step, Afro-house and amapiano, has released an exclusive DJ mix for the campaign.

“The mix feels like golden-hour energy,” JAZZWRLD told Apple Music. “It’s for those moments when the sun hits just right and everything slows down, but the groove keeps you lifted. It’s the kind of sound that carries you from daytime chill to late-night motion. I want this season to feel like movement; from the dance floor to the streets, it’s about rhythm and emotion working together.”

Singer and songwriter CIZA has curated a playlist centred on positivity and reflection. “I chose these songs as they bring big positive vibes for the summer,” he said. “They are songs speaking about prosperity and the special moments in our lives that we cherish.” His selection features emerging international artists such as Buju, Billie Eilish and LADIPOE, alongside classics from The Notorious B.I.G.

Nandi Madida, an Apple Music 1 host, has compiled a playlist featuring tracks by Tems, Wizkid, CKay and others. “This collection is perfect for good times in the sun, and it celebrates the sheer musical experience coming out of the motherland,” she said. “I’m so proud of the artists for making these timeless pieces of music.”

The Summertime Sounds 2025 campaign is now available on Apple Music, with each curator offering a distinct musical perspective for the summer season.
