| PRAISE FOR NINAJIRACHI “Ninajirachi is an artist constantly pushing forward” triple j “Glassy and exhilarating” The Guardian “Signature ethereal twist” NME “Over-the-top production” PAPER Mag “Her music has a shimmery, fractal, fantastical quality balanced with the toughness of bass that bangs in a way that makes you want to get off your butt and get moving” Billboard “Hyperpop perfection” Junkee “It’s Ninajirachi’s world, and we’re all just living in it” Purple Sneakers “Impressive genre-bending oeuvre” EDM.com |
Eora/Sydney triple threat producer, songwriter and DJ Ninajirachi today shares her first taste of new music for 2022, ‘Start Small’. LISTEN HERE.
A pure embodiment of Ninajirachi’s sharp production, ‘Start Small’ is a club-ready anthem that bursts at the seams with bouncing synths and glitching samples, twisting and turning throughout every soundscape corner. In her first solo release since her 2021 double-single ‘Dracodraco / Stoneteller’ which was co-released on RL Grimes‘ Sable Valley imprint with NLV Records, ‘Start Small’ sees Ninajirachi delve into new areas of her sound, employing pop-inflected melodies with hard-hitting percussion techniques that pack a punch.
Of the release, Ninajirachi shares, “Start Small was a very special, stream-of-consciousness moment that came together in just a day or two and it’s one of my best yet. I was very unfocussed creatively in 2021, but I had a burst of inspiration after my first post-lockdown shows in December and this song came shortly after! I am so proud of it.”
