The Needle / Guatemala

A curious machine for collecting the scattered outbursts of Guatemala's love.

“The Needle / Guatemala” is a genre-hopping playlist that balances vibrant Latin hits, indie flair, and sleek electronic production. It moves easily from the rhythmic bounce of songs like "Pedro" by Jaxomy and Agatino Romero and "GUAPÍSIMA BUENÍSIMA" by DAAZ to the darker, introspective energy of ZAYN’s "Alienated" and Hozier’s soulful "Too Sweet." There’s a strong sense of global influence here, stitched together with tracks in Spanish and English that dip into alternative pop, urbano, and dreamy synths.

Whether it’s the breezy mood of “São Paulo” by Elijah Fox, the pulsing groove in “Feeling Good” by Hypaton and David Guetta, or the regional textures of “Porque Te Vas” by Victor Cibrian and Gabito Ballesteros, the playlist creates a shifting landscape. It’s got a bit of nostalgia, a bit of edge, and a lot of genre crossover—ideal for a late night listen or drifting through city streets.
