The Needle / Switzerland - Emerging

With "The Needle / Switzerland - Emerging," you're diving into a sharp cross-section of Switzerland's freshest and most dynamic new sounds. The playlist moves across genres and languages, featuring everything from moody French- and German-language hip-hop like Alphastein & schmockyyy’s “Konto leer” and gapman’s “B.A.B” to genre-bending tracks like FlexFab’s “I had a call” and the industrial-tinged “Die Maus - Hard Edit” by The Holy Santa Barbara and AERO. There’s also room for melodic pop (“Love Me” by Nesta And The Blondes), cinematic instrumentals like Andrea Farri’s “Fabbricante di Lacrime - Nica’s Theme,” and high-energy dance bangers like “I Like the Way You Kiss Me (Techno Mix)” by KOSKA.

This is a mix that shows the eclectic and evolving nature of the Swiss music scene. Whether it's the introspective electronic feel of “Underwater Bubbles” by TerraAura, the gritty attitude of tracks like “Ragemode” by Julz and Fabree, or the multilingual flair of entries like “Amanet” by Kali and “YeYe” by $aiD and Jenva, the collection captures voices just starting to break through. Great for browsing what’s happening below the radar.
