Early Hours can mean a few different things: Are you winding down after being up all night, or are you just rising to meet the sun? But for this edition of Apple Music’s exclusive Early Hours DJ Mix, DJ Plead has another idea. “This is an evening chill-out-before-going-out [set],” he tells Apple Music. Here, the Lebanese Australian producer includes tracks like John Beltran’s “Guitarus Breeze” (“This is an absolute classic for me,” he says), Instra:mental’s “Watching You” (“I find it heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time”), and bambinodj’s “Unfurling” (“Light, smooth, and warm, like a freshly baked coconut macaroon”). So hit play and settle into a meditative, downtempo mood.
