Zane Lowe just kicked off Beats 1 radio on Apple Music with a short and sweet introduction and a little bit of hype for the first song, which was... "City," by Spring King. Haven't heard of them? That's right in line with the whole vibe of the station, which is all about human curators and tastemakers. It is not clear if those tastemakers will be screaming "worldwide!" and "here we go!" over the rest of the tracks, but here we are.

Here is a YouTube embed of "City," for the sake of reader edification and also irony.
