The Needle / Dominican Republic - Underground

Pulling deep cuts and experimental heaters from both sides of the hemisphere, “The Needle / Dominican Republic - Underground” taps into a global mesh of underground sounds. With tracks like Jane Bell’s raw “MOTHER ATE” and Boris Brejcha’s dark techno-leaning “Terminal Zero,” this playlist blends edgy electronica with glitchy pop, leftfield gospel, and Caribbean-influenced remixes. It navigates between sonic extremes—ranging from the hypnotic bounce of “Push Ups” by Spectre to the reggaetón-infused grit of “Estoy Aquí - Remix” by TRAMPA BILLONE and Gatillero 23.

There's a hard-to-pin-down current running through the selections, bridging DIY club cuts like “Look At My Body” and gritty Dominican trap from Andresse with genre-spanning moments like Rina Sawayama’s hyperpop remix, BADBADNOTGOOD’s jazzy collaboration with Baby Rose, and playful K-pop from UNIS. Whether it's Jersey Club pulse (“Bop Anthem”), digital nostalgia (“Hydrocity”), or acoustic turns from Anthrés, this playlist keeps its ear to the ground—exploring what’s new, raw, and just left of center.
