Australian electronic music prodigy Ninajirachi has crafted a surprisingly moving homage to the euphoric sounds of 2010s EDM with her latest album, I Love My Computer. Far from a mere nostalgia trip, the record reimagines the genre's signature drops and synth-heavy textures with a contemporary twist, resulting in a collection that's as emotionally resonant as it is dancefloor-ready.
A Fresh Take on Classic Sounds
While many artists might approach throwback EDM with irony or pastiche, Ninajirachi treats the genre with genuine affection. Tracks like Bliss and Pixelated capture the unbridled joy of festival anthems while incorporating her distinctive production style - all glitchy percussion and shimmering melodies.
More Than Just Nostalgia
What sets I Love My Computer apart is its unexpected emotional depth. Beneath the soaring synths and pounding beats lies a wistful meditation on adolescence, technology, and the passage of time. The album's title track, in particular, transforms what could have been a simple banger into something far more poignant.
Production That Pops
Ninajirachi's technical prowess shines throughout the record. Her meticulous attention to detail elevates familiar EDM tropes, with crisp sound design that makes each element - from the fattest bass drops to the most delicate arpeggios - leap out of the speakers.
For fans of electronic music, I Love My Computer offers the perfect balance of throwback appeal and forward-thinking production. It's proof that dance music can be both euphoric and emotionally complex - and that Ninajirachi is one of the most exciting producers working today.
