The Needle / Morocco - Current

“The Needle / Morocco - Current” blends a wide-ranging mix of voices and styles that ride today's soundwave from North Africa to global playlists. Featuring names like Saint Levant, Maz, and Kamil Ghaouti, it pulls in Arabic, French, and English language tracks layered over drill, house, R&B, and slowcore. Whether it's the understated groove of "5am in Paris" or the percussive bounce of "Wasitkom" by Samara, the curation captures a snapshot of transcontinental music that feels both rooted and modern.

The playlist weaves through smoky late-night vibes, bass-heavy club textures, and stripped-down, reverb-driven edits. Songs like Josman and Arma Jackson’s "BBL" sit comfortably alongside slower, emotional cuts like "Older" by bullish or even a slowed rework of "Softcore." With tracks from artists like Chappell Roan, ZAYN, and Tinashe also in the mix, this collection feels like a zoomed-in take on the pulse of Moroccan-influenced and diasporic pop right now—loosely defined, but consistently on point.
