The Needle - Emerging

"The Needle - Emerging" is a genre-spanning mix that highlights fresh voices and bold sounds from across the musical landscape. With tracks ranging from the ethereal jazz-infused stylings of Baby Rose and BADBADNOTGOOD's "On My Mind" to the bass-heavy remix of "Calm in Your Eyes" by Bleep Bloop, this playlist leans into both atmosphere and experimentation. Rap and hip-hop selections like "Smoke Up" by Tha Dogg Pound and Snoop Dogg balance against indie and alternative entries such as Aaron West and The Roaring Twenties' "Smoking Rooms" and Belmont's "Two's A Party."

Electronic and international influences are also woven throughout, with Genix's trance-heavy "On & On (ABGT574)," Sindicato Del Ritmo's Latin-inspired "En Peligro De Extinción," and the meditative tones of Lincoln Jesser's "Om Mani Padme Hum." Unexpected moments—like the offbeat humor of Obscurest Vinyl’s "I Glued My Balls to My Butthole Again" or the folk-inflected harmonies of Rising Appalachia’s "The Bones"—keep things unpredictable. "The Needle - Emerging" is a varied and engaging collection that spotlights artists pushing boundaries and crafting distinct sonic identities.
