The Needle / Croatia - Emerging

“The Needle / Croatia - Emerging” is a wide-reaching mix that taps into a blend of regional flavor and global energy. With tracks spanning languages and genres—ranging from local trap like "Golf Kec" by Anal Mandica and the punchy "DI JE PARTY" by Dzoni Paranoja, to dark cinematic EDM from Amelie Lens’ “Breathe” and J-pop moods courtesy of ClariS—it captures the pulse of Croatia’s emerging scene while colliding it with international trends.

It includes moody collaborations like "Ultime Parole" from Jack Savoretti and Natalie Imbruglia, hard-hitting tracks like “UNDEFEATED” by XG and Valorant, and the slowed-down introspection of “Pass Out” and “repeat! - slowed.” Serbian and Croatian voices like TNG, Eldorado, Antonio Perina, and Sofija Peric meet artists from across genres and continents, forming a complex, shifting soundtrack that feels just as unpredictable as it is current. It's not locked into one vibe—it flips between edge, calm, introspection, and high-energy, reflecting a transitional moment in sound.
