The Needle / Venezuela - Current

“The Needle / Venezuela - Current” is a mix of fresh sounds coming out of Venezuela and beyond, touching everything from Latin pop and urbano to alt-rock and electronic blends. With tracks like "Fácil" by Sanluis and Noreh and "Carruyo" by LOS MENOR3S, the playlist shines a light on Venezuelan artists pushing genre boundaries, while songs like “Desconocidos” by Alan Wittels and Micro TDH add melodic grit and introspection. There's also a good dose of regional remixes and rising voices crossing into global appeal, including "Santa" by Rvssian and Rauw Alejandro and "Shein" by Jonathan Moly.

The selections stretch further with indie alt-pop from names like Judeline and Chappell Roan, crossover experiments like Björk & ROSALÍA’s "Oral" remix, and high-energy tracks like “Pound for Pound” by Baddcitizen and “Party In My Cup” by Kidd Keo. From introspective deep-cuts like “lucy~” by Corbon Amodio to powerhouse collaborations such as J. Cole and Bas on “H.Y.B.,” this playlist feels current without sticking to one lane. It's a snapshot of what’s circulating right now—from the Venezuelan scene to global corners—all tied together with bass, texture, and a shifting pulse.
