Club Drifters presents Ninajirachi
At only 24 years old, Ninajirachi is raising the flag for a new generation of Australian electronic artists on the international stage, from festival appearances at Lollapalooza, EDC, Laneway and Spilt Milk, to sold out headline shows on both sides of the Pacific Ocean.
Prior to releasing 2024's girl EDM, milestone moments of Nina's career include discrete firsts - first magazine cover (NME) in 2022 for her mixtape Second Nature, first Triple J #1 with 2023's 1x1, first US headline tour in January 2024. However, it's the release of girl EDM that most clearly marks the breakout moment for Ninajirachi, serendipitously arriving on the same day she made her EDC Las Vegas debut on the mainstage. The project arrived via long-term mentor and label partner Nina Las Vegas’ NLV Records, and in the wake of it’s release, girl EDM has evolved into an adjective, a genre, a celebrated catchphrase and symbol amongst Nina's fans across the globe.
Following the arrival of girl EDM, Nina made on good one her "one to watch" promises with a cover story for Music Tech magazine, blazing through a series of headline dates from Tokyo to Shenzhen on the girl EDM Asia tour, and a single (Angel Music with MGNA Crrrta) in Billboard's Best of 2024, with Billboard declaring "the female equivalent of Scary Monster's era Skrillex"
With girl EDM seated in a spread of year end wraps, Nina entered 2025 with extraordinary momentum, touring Australia with Porter Robinson, immediately again with Laneway Festival, and embarking on a sold-out US co-headline tour with PC Music's umru, all within six weeks between February and March. The same period saw her release the anthemic All I Am, which propelled to the top of triple j's most played chart and landed her an ARIA Singles Charts debut. A fan-favourite ID from her shows across the world throughout 2024, the song's official release marks the start of a new chapter for Ninajirachi; the first glimpse of a larger project from across the horizon.
With a sound and style ‘simultaneously garnering respect from the experimental underground and the mainstream’ (Rolling Stone), Nina has remixed Princess Nokia, Deadmau5 and The Neptunes and opened for the likes of Charli XCX, Cashmere Cat and Porter Robinson. Her production prowess has seen her tapped by Nike, Sega and even Ableton themselves to produce the official demo project for the Ableton Live software.
Growing up in Australia's small-town Central Coast, Nina remains tethered to her curiosity and appetite for discovery born out of an adolescence spent on the internet, trawling Youtube, Soundcloud and forums for the neoteric electronic music that inspired her earliest productions. This manifests in collaborations with peers from all corners of the internet as well as her annual Australian headline event Dark Crystal; a dream-lineup event made manifest, platforming singular and developing artists from a variety of genres and Australian underground niches.
2024's edition welcomed New York producer/DJ legend Doss to Australia for the first time, and since the event's debut in 2022, Dark Crystal has become a touchstone for Australia's new generation of underground EDM fans.
