The Needle / North Macedonia - Emerging

This playlist brings together a mix of genres and sounds, highlighting emerging music from North Macedonia and beyond. It moves from atmospheric electronic beats in tracks like "Remission" by Kasablanca and Lane 8 to high-energy club rhythms from artists like Amelie Lens and Charlotte de Witte. Rock and metal make an appearance with "HOUSE ON SAND" by NOTHING MORE and "Scapegoat" by Benighted, while international pop influences weave through tracks like "Цвето" by Fiki and Azis and "Sənə Nə" by Röya.

Blending rap, alternative, and global influences, the selection moves seamlessly from the melodic vocals of The Irrepressibles to the sharp lyricism in Stickle and Pashanim’s "Augenmaß." Regional hits like Ronela Hajati's "Jepi Gaz" and Petar Sarkanjac’s "Stin Parajlija" bring a local touch, while experimental remixes such as Björk and ROSALÍA’s "Oral - Olof Dreijer Remix" add unique textures. With everything from jazz-infused instrumentals to electronic house grooves, this playlist offers a diverse snapshot of emerging sounds.
