Ninajirachi wrapped up the second weekend of Coachella with a standout moment, introducing a brand new Porter Robinson remix alongside Underscores. Watch it below.

After days of speculation sparked by a teaser uploaded to Robinson’s website earlier in the week, the producer made an unexpected appearance during Ninajirachi’s debut set at the California festival on April 10.

During that set, the two artists gave fans a first taste of an unreleased track believed to be called ‘WannaCry’. Returning to close out the second weekend on April 19, the Australian hyperpop act brought out Underscores to deliver a remix of Robinson’s 2024 song ‘Perfect Pinterest Garden’.

Robinson later posted a clip of the performance on X, praising the pair as “the future of music.” Earlier in the week, Underscores also hosted a pop up show from the back of a truck, with Ninajirachi in the crowd alongside Jane Remover and ericdoa.

 

 

 

 

 

Ninajirachi dropped ‘I Love My Computer’ last year, which earned a spot on NME’s list of the 20 best debut albums of 2025.

Speaking with NME following its release, she opened up about the inspirations behind the project. “I had been diving back into a lot of old Australian dance music, like Miami Horror, Pnau and Empire of the Sun, and other dance music from that time, like Adrian Lux and Ladyhawke.

“That was just before I was a teenager, still in primary school and didn’t have access to blogs and stuff to learn about it at the time,” she told us. I was getting really into that. In the session with Ben, maybe we had a break and a little microdose, and everyone was relaxed.

“I started looping and adding synths, and maybe subconsciously the Pnau influence from the weeks leading up leaked through.”

As for Underscores, NME praised her latest album ‘U’ with a five star review. “In capturing celebrity transience and ensuing emotional seclusion, ‘U’ retains Underscores’ established documentarian approach to pop music: she’s both time capsule and mirror, a reflection of a globalised, overstimulated, reputation-conscious, isolated generation and its parasocial obsessions,” it read.

“‘U’ is not as narratively juicy as ‘Wallsocket’ an almost-mockumentary of Middle America brimming with Twin Peaks-level lore but it retains Grey’s observational viewpoint, a dystopian-gaze with surreal liminality.”
