Apple Music: Presents 2025 Summertime Sounds campaign with CIZA, JAZZWRLD, Nandi Madida
Apple Music’s Summertime Sounds campaign has become the go-to space for all the hottest summer-themed content, and this year they’ve teamed up three electrifying artists – CIZA, JAZZWRLD, and Nandi Madida will all be curating the soundtracks to your festive season.
2025 was a breakout year for producer & DJ JAZZWRLD, who set the charts on fire with his fusion of 3 Step, Afro House and Amapiano. He caps the year off with an Apple Music exclusive DJ mix, crafted especially for summer. “The mix feels like golden-hour energy. It’s for those moments when the sun hits just right and everything slows down, but the groove keeps you lifted. It’s the kind of sound that carries you from daytime chill to late-night motion,” he tells Apple Music. “I want this season to feel like movement, from the dance floor to the streets, it’s about rhythm and emotion working together.”

Singer-songwriter CIZA believes summer should be full of inspiration, an ethos reflected in his Summertime Sounds playlist. “I chose these songs as they bring big positive vibes for the summer,” he tells Apple Music. “They are songs speaking about prosperity and the special moments in our lives that we cherish.” From young artists who freely express their emotions—like Buju, Billie Eilish, and LADIPOE—to classics from The Notorious B.I.G., this is a collection full of round-the-clock confidence.
