Alexander Wang’s music is no secret. Having collaborated with the likes of The Weeknd, Madonna, M.I.A., Kanye West, Alice Glass, Die Antwoord, A$AP Rocky, the New York designer weaves his sonic tastes into his design aesthetic with maximum volume.

Now, Alexander Wang shifts his craft to the decks as the inaugural presenter of Apple Music’s new fashion curator program, in which they invite designers to curate playlists that inspire and motivate their work – merging and celebrating the inherent relationship between the two mediums.

Wang’s debut DJ outing features three playlists, entitled CHILL, HYPE and VIBE. Each mix covers an eclectic spectrum, ranging across hip hop, R&B, dance and jungle trap. And as if the fashion channel wasn’t enough, the drop comes alongside a video featuring Wang prepping for a house party in a luxe penthouse – complete with signature black balloons, glitter balls and champagne on ice. Where’s our invite?
