Curators Apple Music: who they are and why you should listen to them. Part 1

I went seventh day use Apple Music. Despite the fact that I constantly laykayu dislaykayu and songs and albums, the tab "For You" offers a frankly bad music. However, every day I find dozens of tracks that one's soul. How? With the help of curators. We decided to tell whom Apple has chosen as curator and why you should listen to them.

Curators - is known and proven publishing and radio, for which Apple has created a separate category in the Apple Music. In exchange for advertising (and perhaps something else), each curator offers dozens of playlists for different moods.

Total 20 curators. And if you're not interested in music, it is unlikely to have heard of someone other than Rolling Stone, or Shazam. However, each issue focuses on a particular style of music, and if you want to find something new, that's for any style meets every one of them.

Alternative Press

Styles: indie, rock, ambient electronics.

Alternative Press, or AP - this is one of the most popular music blogs on the independent and electronic music. The AP playlists mainly specific collections like "Best drum entry" or "The Future of metalcore."

Complex

Styles: RnB, rap, pop.

Complex - a blog not only about music, but pop culture in general. Here are the highlights recent news, as well as things, movies and music that are most popular among young people.

Dancing Astronaut

Styles: techno, dubstep, the EDM, house.

All about electronic music. Among other blogs that talk about dance music, DA could differentiate feed materials and really high-quality sample of music.

Decibel Magazine

Styles: Metal, Hardcore.

The largest blog about heavy music. It became popular due to the absence of censorship and bright feed materials. The playlists can be found a lot of driving music for workouts.

DJ Mag

Styles: Dance music.

From the name of the magazine immediately clear for what music is worth going to this supervisor. The playlist has both dance styles like House, and so relaxing like Deep Vibes.

DownBeat Magazine

Styles: jazz, blues.

The Apple Music a lot of electronic music, so DownBeat become an outlet for those who like sophisticated jazz and blues guitar.

The FADER

Styles: hip-hop, reggae, alternative.

It is difficult to identify the styles that illuminates The FADER. Magazine itself says little about everything, but in the Apple Music had a total of 12 playlists. Basis to make them hip-hop and alternative.

GQ

Styles: everything and nothing.

Perhaps the only magazine to which there are questions. In the American GQ materials music come infrequently. Collections from Apple Music is also not encouraging: there are only four, and they leave a lot to be desired. Would you listen to a playlist The Best of the Best of the Newest of the New? I - no, but such a selection there. In GQ popular brand, but to see them in the list of music experts, at least, strange.

Grand Ole Opry

Styles: Country music.

If you like the music created by the US white population in the XX century, the Grand Ole Opry for you - this is the perfect radio station and curator. At first I wanted to count the number of country music playlists, but lost in the twenty and decided not to continue.

MOJO Magazine

Styles: rock, blues, jazz.

MOJO - This British magazine, which began publication in 1993. Main specialization - rock, but many Apple Music playlists and other styles. By the way, this magazine obliged popular The White Stripes - MOJO first pay attention to them.
