The Needle / Lithuania

“The Needle / Lithuania” is a winding mix of Lithuanian alt-pop, underground Eastern European beats, and viral international tracks, stitched together with hyperpop, indie electronica, and slowed-down Russian pop. It dances between languages and moods, switching from the washed-out melancholy of tracks like Džiugas Joneikis’ “TU” or Vilius Popendikis’ “Šiurpuliukai” to high-energy pop moments like ARTMS' “Flower Rhythm” and Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!”

The playlist weaves in local gems like Miglė Variakojytė’s “Paraštės” and Kristijonas Ribaitis’ “Apžora” alongside globally recognized names like ZAYN, The Chainsmokers, and JoJo Siwa. Touches of Baltic summer, emotional slowdown edits, and glitchy experiments from NILETTO or mdnght7 give it an unpredictable edge. “The Needle / Lithuania” feels like scrolling through a late-night feed—local, chaotic, and at times unexpectedly sharp.
