Australian DJ and producer Ninajirachi has released her debut album, I Love My Computer, through NLV Records.
The album looks back on her experiences growing up during the early days of the internet.
“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.”
The album follows a string of singles including “Infohazard” , “iPod Touch”, “All I Am” (her first ARIA-charting song), and “Fuck My Computer”.
One standout track is the single “It’s You”, the only official collaboration on the album made with Melbourne artist daine in late 2023. Ninajirachi explains, “Originally I wanted I Love My Computer to be just Ninajirachi music with no collabs or features, but this song with daine just worked too well.

“Darcy Baylis helped us round it out earlier this year by adding the guitar verse parts which was like a perfect crossover episode. Darcy and I started ‘Infohazard’ at Daine’s writing camp in 2024 so everything is in the family and it feels amazing that way.”
The Australian DJ and producer was recently named Spotify’s EQUAL Ambassador for April and featured in Rolling Stone AU/NZ‘s Future of Music 2025 list.
I Love My Computer follows her 2022 mixtape Second Nature and builds on her reputation for crafting intricate, otherworldly EDM. As we wrote in our profile:
“Ninajirachi creates the kind of epic, intricate, and universal EDM that takes you from creating music in your bedroom on the Central Coast of NSW to playing festivals the world over, including Lollapalooza, EDC Las Vegas, and Laneway.
“Ninajirachi cites her primary influences as “nature, fantasy, science fiction, ideas of occult and magic,” which makes a whole lot of sense when you hear her music: each song is a fantastical world unto itself, like a hyperpop soundtrack to the world’s most deranged video game.”
