triple j, is taking control of Apple Music’s Beats 1 radio station throughout November.

The takeover is part of a residency segment, and is the second of its kind for Beats 1. Beats 1 Director Zane Lowe, of former BBC Radio 1 fame, hands over the reigns to people he believes know what they’re doing in an attempt to expose listeners to something they may not have heard before. The fun starts this Saturday where Zan Rowe and Dom Alessio will spin a genre-spanning mix of new Australian music, including Boy & Bear, DMA’s, Tkay Maidza, Dead Letter Circus and 2015 Unearthed High winners Mosquito Coast. This is a huge deal not only for triple j but also for Australian music. triple j will be hosting a show each Saturday in November on Beats 1, putting Australian music on a station that’s broadcast 24/7 in 100 countries across the world. I wonder if triple j will be able to take over Beats 1 for the Top 100 on Australia Day!
