“...an immensely fun and inventive dance album that doubles as a surprisingly touching coming-of-age story from one of Australia’s minted electronic exports”
“Ninajirachi, aka Nina Wilson, has become one of Australia’s most innovative and influential electronic artists”
“Ninajirachi is a crown jewel of Australia’s dance scene”
“Electronic dance music’s best kept secret”
“It's not just Nina giving us a self-portrait of sorts, but also a commentary on what it is to grow up as a person in an age of technology… it is a versatile one from a producer using her chops to not just pull together banging beats, but a narrative, too”
“Between thrillingly kinetic bangers – like the pummelling ‘CSIRAC’, named for Australia’s first digital computer, and the unabashedly dubsteppy ‘Battery Death’ – the album looks back on the 25-year-old’s musical journey through her relationship with one of her most enduring partners and collaborators: her computer”
“Much like its maker, the 12-track project is smart, stylish and ebullient, with a bit of edge and a lot of observations on living and loving in our computer world”
“Ninajirachi, Australia’s best underground DJ, releases her most personal statement yet”
“Ninajirachi creates the kind of epic and universal EDM that takes you from creating music in your bedroom to playing festivals the world over”
“Club music at its most unabashedly online, which, as we’ll see, ironically makes it all the more real”
“Sure to leave listeners wanting more”

Straight off the back of her Coachella 2026 billing announcement, this year’s ARIAs are shaping up to be a watershed moment for the young artist, with the potential to become the first solo female producer in the awards’ history to win Best Dance/Electronic Release or Best Produced Release.
“Thank u so much to my friends and fans who are doing it with me and have been around for a really long time”, shares Ninajirachi. “Nothing like this has ever happened to me lol.” Nina Las Vegas, Director and Founder of NLV Records, shares, “I’ve always believed in Ninajirachi, and I’m so grateful to be part of this journey with her. For me, it was never a question of if, but when. Championing forward-thinking music has always been my mission, just as working alongside powerful women and incredible musicians has been. Nina is all of that and more, and she truly deserves this history-making moment.”
Released via NLV Records, Ninajirachi’s acclaimed debut is a boundary-pushing, culturally resonant record praised as a defining shift in the 2025 music landscape. Celebrated across Rolling Stone as “a poignant tribute to 2010s EDM,” Sydney Morning Herald, The Guardian (5/5 Stars), Billboard, Resident Advisor, Mixmag, NME, Dazed, Beatportal, Bandcamp, Wonderland Magazine to heavy endorsement from international tastemakers as Anthony Fantano to Derrick Gee, Ninajirachi has redefined pop and club music for Australia’s next wave of talent. Her tribute to the device she considers an extension of her own human self is also proudly reflective of her regional upbringing in NSW’s Central Coast.
Where merch and vinyl sold out in a matter of days, I Love My Computer claimed major chart success as ARIA’s #1 Australian Dance Album, 5 weeks in a row; #1 AIR Independent Label Albums, Top 5 on multiple ARIA charts, including Australian Album, and #18 overall ARIA Albums Chart. triple j awarded the record its coveted Feature Album placement with key singles ‘All I Am’ and ‘Delete’ reaching the station’s #1 most played songs chart, alongside Album of the Week on fbi.radio in Sydney and SYN in Melbourne with billboard placements in Times Square and Melbourne amongst widespread DSP support. Currently, the record is in contention for the Australian Music Prize shortlist.
Recognised culturally as a leader reshaping the role of female and non-binary artists in her genre, I Love My Computer is a technically exceptional project and fierce benchmark for the future of Australian electronic music. The years-in-making project is reflective of Ninajirachi’s fearless passion, enduring grind and fierce community backing, cultivating a global reputation that has earned her sold-out shows across three continents including her recent Dark Crystal national tour selling out months in advance and upcoming October USA headline dates.
Known for her genre-blurring sound and innovative production, Ninajirachi’s global reputation includes appearances at Lollapalooza, EDC, Laneway Festival, supports for Charli xcx, Porter Robinson, RL Grime, Alison Wonderland, umru, Mallrat, Skin on Skin to collaborations and remixes with deadmau5 and The Neptunes, Princess Nokia, ISOxo, 1tbsp, Anna Lunoe, daine, Kota Banks, MGNA Crrrta, and many more across her career. Counting fans as widespread as Caroline Polachek, The Dare, Cashmere Cat to NOVA’s Tim Blackwell and Maddy Rowe, HIT’s Nic and Loren, today is a history-making win for a 26-year-old girl from Kincumber.
A showcase of Ninajirachi’s attunement to the contemporary electronic landscape, I Love My Computer marks a new shape for EDM on a global level. Built on the unimaginable worlds that defy boundaries in dance music categories, the album grounds itself between reality and vivid imagination where virtual limits don’t exist. “I’ve spent more time with my computer than any one person, it helped me realise who I am and raised me for better or worse. I may never have discovered electronic music without it, because I’m from a small town in regional Australia, and it’s not really a place where that exists. It’s a big contrast actually” she shares. “All of my music is computer music, it’s my instrument, and I don’t know who I would be without it.”
Moving vicariously through dance, pop and electro, Ninajirachi honours that formative, shiny 2010s music that raised her and reassembles it into a supercharged sound, and not once across the record does the momentum fade. With singles ‘All I Am’, ‘Fuck My Computer’, ‘iPod Touch’ and ‘Infohazard’ providing insight into her craft and sonic world-building, the record traipses all new heights with a deeply nostalgic tribute. ‘London Song’ sets the album in motion, detailing a sense of gratitude for the opportunities computer music has brought her.
On ‘CSIRAC’ Ninajirachi muses on Australia’s first digital computer, and focus track ‘Delete’ looks at social media psychology and the ‘modern mega digital meta mating ritual’. Lyrically, the track explores the strategy of posting in the hope that particular person see it. Highlighting her adventurous range, tracks including the emotionally charged ‘Battery Death’, the ambient diary entry ‘Sing Good’ and ‘It’s You’ with internet star daine hail a more dance-pop format. As the only official collaboration on the album, ‘It’s You’ with daine was crafted in late 2023. Elsewhere, ‘ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ’ (Cat Interlude) marks a high-energy portal to ‘All I Am’ and album closer ‘All At Once’ hones in on the record’s theme that is limitless creative freedom with a clear vision.
