The Crate
Apple Music
Some of the best new music was actually recorded decades ago, but only recently saw the broader light of day—a testament to the work of archivists, collectors and reissue labels the world over. Here’s a playlist collecting some of the most interesting stuff from the dusty corners of the crate-digging community, from Ethio-jazz to city pop and Afro-funk to eccentric English folk and loads more. Our editors update picks here regularly, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
