“This mix reflects a year-long journey through the music of 2025—each song marking a moment in time, each artist telling a story that resonated deeply,” Marshmello tells Apple Music, as he picks his standout tracks of the year. “Records from Calvin Harris, Shaboozey, Justin Bieber, Fred again.., and Turnstile stood out as bold creative statements, inspiring listeners to follow their visions and narratives. As a storyteller myself, I spent this year creating new music shaped by these artists and the worlds they built. My hope is that, while listening to this mix, you’ll hear a song you love reflected back in a new way—reshaped by your own inspiration and perspective.”
