The Needle / Russia - Underground

Blending gritty electronica, underground hip-hop, post-Soviet experimentalism, and unexpected global fusions, "The Needle / Russia - Underground" feels like tuning into a pirate radio broadcast from every corner of the underground scene. The playlist moves through distorted techno pulses like µ-Ziq’s “Rave Whistle” and Overmono’s “Cash Romantic,” balances them with the lo-fi melancholy of yvel’s “cigarettes out the window,” and drops into gritty local rap from artists like saycheesee, ИНВОЙС, and Мама сказала нет.

Unexpected turns add texture: Vietnamese folk-pop (“Về Nghe Mẹ Ru”), Arabic protest ballads (Wegz’s “بعودة يا بلادى”), and cosmic funk from COSMO CROT. There’s a clear Russian and post-Soviet influence throughout, with tracks heavy on atmosphere, cold ambiance, and lyrical realism. At the same time, detours into Latin trap, dreamy J-pop, and Eastern European techno keep things fluid. This is a playlist for after-hours bus rides, concrete skateparks, or staring at city lights—curated chaos on a global frequency.
