“The Needle / Qatar” is a genre-blurring, tempo-shifting playlist that moves through global sounds, late-night aesthetics, and modern pop sensibilities without losing momentum. Tracks like Chappell Roan's “Good Luck, Babe!” and Lyn Lapid’s “Cruise Control” bring the indie-pop edge, while UNIS’s “Dopamine” and KISS OF LIFE’s “Midas Touch” add polished K-pop energy. There’s a steady current of Middle Eastern and North African influences running through the list with Elyanna’s “Lel Ya Lel,” Saint Levant’s “5am in Paris,” and Wael Kfoury’s “El Waet Hdiye” weaving regional character into the mix.
Elsewhere, the playlist leans into the underground and atmospheric, from slowed-down tracks like vunes’ “if we being reäl” to the nostalgic haze of “The Mountain Is You” by Chance Peña. There’s also room for high-octane energy with songs like “B2b” by Charli XCX, Tiësto’s remix of “Danza Kuduro,” and NLE Choppa’s “SLUT ME OUT 2.” Whether it's mellow moods, club-ready beats, or cross-border collaborations, this playlist taps into a global mindset that blends cultures, genres, and languages with ease.
