The Today’s Hits DJ mix captures the world’s biggest songs in one continuous set. This month it’s helmed by none other than dance music producer, DJ and prankster Dillon Francis. “Aside from wanting to make the greatest mix this universe has ever heard, I’ve also been focusing on making happy music this last year and a half,” Francis tells Apple Music. “I wanted that same energy to come through in this mix, so I featured two tracks off of my new album, Happy Machine. I made ‘Unconditional’ with 220 KID, MNEK and KOLIDESCOPES, and it features Bryn Christopher on vocals. We collabed on this song together over quarantine, with the main goal of making something happy and fun. ‘Real Love’, which features Aleyna Tilki, was a really special record to make because I was able to connect and collaborate with my friends across the globe.” But obviously, there’s plenty more here to keep that energy up, whether it’s dance jams from RÜFÜS DU SOL and Loud Luxury, remixes of Dua Lipa and Ed Sheeran or hip-hop from Young Thug and Don Toliver. Hear it all now and check back each month as other world-class DJs take the reins to mix Today’s Hits.
