BBC Sounds and BBC Radio 1 launch Future Sounds Collective

BBC Sounds and BBC Radio 1 launch the Future Sounds Collective - a monthly evolving music mix curated by artists, producers, and DJs.

This brand new listening experience will allow listeners to discover what their favourite artists and those in the industry are really listening to on their personal playlists, with a message from each contributor about why they just can’t get enough of their chosen track.

Spearheaded by DJ and presenter of BBC Radio 1’s Future Sounds, Annie Mac, (Radio 1, Mon-Fri, 7pm-9pm) the mix brings together artists, producers and DJs across genres to create a totally unique mix of music championed by those at the heart of the industry, with new additions updated monthly.

The first edition of Future Sounds Collective features recommendations from Yungblud, HAIM, Robyn, Bring Me The Horizon’s Oli Sykes, High Contrast, Jordan Rakei, Michael Kiwanuka, Frank Carter, AJ Tracey, Tierra Whack, Blossoms, Martyn, Jamz Supernova, Sea Girls, BBC Radio 1Xtra’s DJ Target, and BBC Radio 1’s Huw Stephens and Annie Mac.

Annie Mac says: “Every weeknight on Radio 1’s Future Sounds we provide two hours of the best new music in the world for our listeners to discover. The Future Sounds Collective playlist is the perfect companion piece to the show, bringing together the tracks our favourite artists love for you to fall in love with too. I can’t wait to listen!”
