The Needle / Botswana - Emerging

“The Needle / Botswana - Emerging” is a genre-spanning collection spotlighting fresh sounds and rising artists, with a strong thread of influence from Southern Africa and beyond. The playlist blends local energy with global styles, moving from the vibey amapiano of “Anatomy” by Tsebebe Moroke and Major League Djz to the hazy alt-R&B of Cruza’s “Supa Anxious.” It includes a range of underground cuts and regionally buzzing tracks, showcasing voices that are carving out new sonic directions—from Botswana-flavored Sesotho vibes on “Bahale” to gritty U.K. grime on “Next Up S5-E39.”

The mix moves in and out of moods and textures, balancing spiritual depth on “Managing My Breath, What Fear Had Become” with experimental instrumentals like “Refilwe’s (Interlude).” There are also moments of pop polish and emotional songwriting like Perrie’s “Forget About Us” and Greta Jaime’s “Hot, Rich & Funny.” It’s a snapshot of where emerging artists, especially within and around Botswana, are heading stylistically—pulling in influences from hip-hop, dancehall, gospel, electronica, and piano-driven house.
