Apple Music today releases a new collection of exclusive Pride DJ Mixes, celebrating the artists, communities, and dance floors that have shaped queer culture around the world. Available exclusively on Apple Music, the collection features new mixes from Scissor Sisters, Juliana Huxtable, Shea Couleé, Shaun Ross, and more to come, each offering a distinct perspective on Pride through music.

Spanning house, techno, pop, R&B, and club sounds, the mixes honor the longstanding connection between LGBTQ communities and dance music culture. Throughout Pride Month, the mixes will air on Apple Music Club, reinforcing Apple Music's status as the premier destination for DJ mixes. Apple Music 1 will also feature special Pride takeovers from Justin Tranter and Fancy Hagood.

Scissor Sisters contribute a mix built for the peak hours of Pride celebrations, arriving as the group continues work on its first new music in 14 years following its return to touring in 2025. The mix also features the newly released version of "Let's Have a Kiki" by VNSSA and Lushious Massacr featuring Trixie Mattel. "It was so fun to stick a brand-new version of 'Let's Have a Kiki' on here with vocals by Trixie Mattel," says Jake Shears. "It felt great to have a fresh version for a fresh Pride!"

Artist, actor, and model Shaun Ross looks to New York's rich club history for inspiration. Drawing from stories shared by his parents about iconic venues including The Shelter, Zanzibar, Limelight, and Tunnel, Ross crafted a mix that recreates the feeling of liberation found on those dance floors. "When I play, I try to recreate what I thought it felt like, in my mind, to be in a free space in New York City, dancing to sounds, their minds feeling free," he says.

Artist, DJ, and author Juliana Huxtable delivers a mix built for the late-night hours, weaving together techno, house, breakbeats, and beyond. The result is a transportive journey that evokes the feeling of being in the center of a packed queer dance floor, whether in New York, Berlin, or somewhere in between.

Shea Couleé's mix draws inspiration from Chicago's house music legacy and the queer nightlife spaces that helped shape their artistic journey. Moving between classic house grooves and contemporary club sounds, the set reflects both the city's musical history and its enduring influence on queer culture. "It's carefree, sexy, energetic, and a love letter to Chicago house music," they say, highlighting Derrick Carter's remix of their track "Cocky" as a personal favorite and a celebration of the city's queer nightlife legacy.

Available now exclusively on Apple Music, the Pride DJ Mixes invite listeners to celebrate Pride Month through the sounds, stories, and communities that continue to shape dance music culture around the globe.
