Zane Lowe opened with Spring King‘s track ‘City‘ as he launched the new Beats 1 radio service yesterday (June 30th).

The band, one of our essential acts of 2014, were immediately on Twitter to thank Lowe for the exposure, as the former Radio 1 DJ settled in to his new role at the forefront of Apple’s latest venture into the music world.

“I was in the studio and got a text saying, ‘You’re the first song on Beats 1’ and I was like, ‘What the fuck?’,” mainman Tarek Musa later told NME.

“It was crazy, I thought my friend was joking. I’ve had a lot of emails and positive tweets from people who have never heard the band before. I tweeted Zane because it’s so cool that he’s gone with a small band. We weren’t expecting it at all. I’m blown away right now. If I see him I’ll have to buy him a rum and coke.”
