Tim Sweeney is bringing his long-running electronic music radio show Beats in Space to Apple Music 1. Having previously aired on WNYU, the two-hour weekly show comes to Apple Music starting tonight (November 1) at 10 p.m. Eastern. It debuts with a one-hour mix with Sweeney and another one-hour mix from guest Planningtorock; the show will bring exclusive DJ mixes every week. Sweeney said in a statement:

After 21 years on college radio in NYC, it felt time to graduate and take the next step to bring things to a wider audience. I still have the freedom to choose the music and guests DJs I want for the show, but now I have a team of people to help make that vision a reality. I’m really excited about taking the radio show on the road. We can record at a Beats In Space festival in Japan, a warehouse party in São Paulo, or use one of the many Apple Music studios (New York, L.A., London, Paris, Berlin, and Tokyo). It’s a chance to really showcase what’s happening in dance music culture around the world. I’ve been traveling as a DJ for the past 20 years and bringing back what I’ve found to the radio in New York, but now I have a chance to show people what is happening in different cities straight from the source. It opens up so many opportunities to explore what is happening in this thriving and global dance music scene.
