Speaking on her mix, Anz says: “This mix is a really small selection of some of my favourite tracks from this year. Lots of UK garage, lots of electro, breakbeat, hardcore- just various bits and bobs to get you in the mood for a big one.
"We have music from the likes of UNIIQU3, Jubilee, and a few of the tracks I’ve released this year too”.

Charli XCX states regarding her mix: “In this set, I mix up a lot of amazing songs that really heavily influenced my upcoming album ‘Crash’.
"Songs from Janet, Prince, Cameo, Mariah Carey – just songs that have a retro sort of rhythmic feel to them. Songs with incredible snare drums often and songs that make you want to dance”.
Over the last year, the tech giant has deepened its entry into the nightlife scene.
Earlier this year Apple Music partnered with Mixmag, DJ-Kicks, Boiler Room and other dance music companies to monetize DJ mixes.
