Björk - Apple Music Live_ NYE 2025 (DJ Mix) (2024)

Held in the smoky corridors of The Cause, a DIY venue in London’s Docklands neighborhood, Apple Music’s sophomore New Year’s Eve party proved, once again, that the best nights out are rooted in talent. Few musicians possess the power and mystique of Björk, who can send your brain spinning in a hundred different directions over the course of an hour-long DJ set. In this expansive mix, the endlessly curious Icelandic musician weaves through entire regions of sound, showing how local musicians are referencing and recontextualizing traditional folk music in modern, club-oriented settings. You’ll hear new wave gqom from the South African trio Omagoqa, Bugandan drumming by the Ugandan techno outfit Nihiloxica, and a dark-edged fusion of gabber and grindcore courtesy of Gabber Modus Operandi. Believe us when we say that is just scratching the surface.
