BBC Sounds and BBC Radio 1 have announced the launch of the Future Sounds Collective, a new monthly mix led by Annie Mac and curated by artists, producers and DJs.
The initiative is designed to give fans a window into what artists and the music industry are listening to, with a personal message from each contributor describing why they chose a particular song.
The project is led by former Music Week cover star and presenter of BBC Radio 1’s Future Sounds, Annie Mac.
