Ninajirachi announces her debut album, I Love My Computer, out August 8 via NLV Records, alongside her exuberant new release ‘iPod Touch’. LISTEN HERE + PRE-SAVE LP HERE.

I Love My Computer is a record that speaks to the timelessnessof Ninajirachi’s calling card and extension of herself – her computer. Expanding on her seminal girl EDM EP and acclaimed 2022 mixtape Second Nature, I Love My Computer is an album that reflects on the thread between reality and the vivid worlds that computers can uncover; unimaginable worlds that defy boundaries in dance music categories and where virtual limits don’t exist in an unfiltered gen Z EDM revival.

Perpetually influenced by her regional New South Wales upbringing and formative memories of discovering music, I Love My Computer is built on a foundation that reimagines the shiny ‘00s sound Ninajirachi was raised on and re-assembles it into a new super-charged, cathartic shape that captures a poignant time in world-building. “I’ve spent more time with my computer than any one person, it helped me discover who I am and raised me for better or worse. I may never have discovered electronic music without it, because I’m from a town in regional Australia and it’s not really a place where that exists. It’s a big contrast actually. All of my music is computer music, it’s my instrument and I don’t know who I would be without it”.

Following the “glitched ode to screen time” (Rolling Stone ANZ) electroclash single ‘Fuck My Computer’ and golden-era-of-dance-music ‘All I Am’ – which skyrocketed with global support across triple j (reaching #1 Most Played on the station) and marked her debut entry in the ARIA singles charts – today’s single, ‘iPod Touch’ extends the generational narrative of Nina’s early music discovery with sonically canvassed nostalgic tributes.

Of the track, Nina shares, “iPod Touch is about stumbling upon my favourite music online when I was 12 and it cracking my whole world open. None of my friends at school liked electronic music so it felt like a secret or something. I started spending a lot of late nights on the computer trying to soak up everything I could, not realising how much a random discovery and curiosity would end up shaping my life. It’s about high school in Gosford, Supré shorts, sneaking out to smoke, bus to the beach after school, going to the shops, 2nd generation iPod Touch, and it sounds like something I would have loved at that pivotal time which makes me feel soooooo happy.”

Recently named Spotify’s EQUAL Ambassador for April and selected by Rolling Stone AU/NZ as part of their ‘Future of Music’ list, she continues to establish herself as one of the most innovative and distinctive producers emerging today. Continuing to ignite a level of out-of-this-world innovation with a sound that is all her own, Ninajirachi has her feet firmly planted in the international music landscape as “a producer of and for the internet age” (Music Tech).  Described by Billboard as the “female equivalent to Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites-era Skrillex”, Ninajirachi has proven herself capable of opening up her own 2010s-inspired world – a world showcased her 2024 EP girl EDM, which has now grown into an adjective, a genre, a celebrated catchphrase and symbol amongst Nina’s fans across the globe.

Amongst scores of career highlights, from headlining shows across three continents, to her co-headline tour with umru and Australian tour with Porter Robinson, she’s also ticked off three iterations of her flagship club event Dark Crystal, with the fourth edition taking place this August featuring umru and MGNA Crrrta. An artist set on the expansive possibilities of dance music, Ninajirachi has raised a flag for the new generation of Australian electronic artists on the international stage, from appearances at Laneway Festival, Lollapalooza, EDC, Beyond The Valley, Dark Mofo and soon, Spilt Milk to sold out headline shows on both sides of the Pacific Ocean.
