The Needle / Chile - Emerging

"The Needle / Chile - Emerging" taps into the pulse of underground and new wave sounds coming out of Chile and beyond, blending Latin trap, reggaeton, electronic, indie pop, and experimental beats. This playlist digs into hybrid styles — from VINNI’s hypnotic "Nueva York" and Dhanvantri Dub’s atmospheric rework of "Atlantis" to raw entries like Dollar West’s "Fuck, No Me Mentalicé ;(" and FiltraMafia’s "FORNIKAMOS RIKO." The mix captures a snapshot of artists pushing genre boundaries and embracing a DIY energy.

You'll also find moments of softness and groove, whether it's the smooth melancholy of Margarita’s "Mucho, poquito o nada" or the hazy late-night attitude of "Playa De Noche" by DJ Maff and Amenazzy. Tracks like "Ciudad de Dios" and "Pobre Diablo" reflect the grit and storytelling of urban Latin music, while surprise additions like "Song For Amy" by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis lend a cinematic texture. Altogether, it’s a rotating cast of voices and moods capturing what’s surfacing now in a shifting soundscape.
