The Needle / Latvia

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

"The Needle / Latvia" is a genre-blurring mix that rides the line between moody trap, hyperpop, alt-pop, and edgy electronic sounds. Featuring artists like Urbanstep, Jaxomy, CHAPPELL ROAN, and Conan Gray, the playlist blends high-energy drops with moments of low-fi drift and melodic introspection. Whether it’s the slowed-down beat of “Твоя любовь манила” or the sharp punch of “Gdagdegdagdagdo,” the vibe is consistently dynamic.

With a range that moves from the Latvian indie-pop of “Ataust rīts” to the dense beats of “Hustle” and the flipped electro-rap tone of “get ya money!,” this playlist taps into regional scenes while staying tuned to global underground trends. There’s a cold, late-night energy running through it—disconnected but never dull.
