Ninajirachi<\/p>\n

Enmore Theatre, Sydney<\/p>\n

Friday, July 3rd<\/p>\n

Fresh off a career-defining 12 months, which included the release of the acclaimed debut album I Love My Computer and some celebrated appearances at Coachella, Ninajirachi<\/a> was rapturously received by the sold-out crowd at Sydney\u2019s Enmore Theatre on Friday night.<\/p>\n

After a few minutes of drones and glitchy sound effects (which sounded like they could have come right off the mid-00s Pok\u00e9mon games that her stage name is a nod to), the NSW Central Coast bedroom producer-turned-superstar took to the stage with \u201cLondon Song\u201d.<\/p>\n

What followed was a 90-minute mix of relentlessly high-octane EDM that kept the crowd in a frenzy; the dance floor, made up almost entirely of Gen Zers, was a mass of jumping and shape-cutting, which extended from the barricade all the way back to the foyer bar.<\/p>\n

I Love My Computer was well represented, with excerpts of most songs featuring; particular highlights included the anthemic \u201cIt\u2019s You\u201d \u2013 featuring the live appearance of co-writer (and support act) daine \u2013 and the cinematic \u201cAll I Am\u201d.<\/p>\n

The evening also featured the airing of some new material, including yet another track written alongside her now-frequent collaborator Porter Robinson, which fitted seamlessly into the mix.<\/p>\n

However, this show was always building to the climax of \u201ciPod Touch\u201d and \u201cI Wanna Fuck My Computer\u201d, an unbeatable one-two punch which brought the main set to a close.<\/p>\n

Returning for a quick encore of a mix-up of samples from across her catalogue, it was clear that, despite her recent international successes, this local milestone was a special point in her career.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had my first live music experience in this room (at a Porter Robinson show)\u201d, she said, adding at the end that this was her \u201cfirst hometown show\u2026 since my life changed\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She also took time to thank her crew \u2013 and while this may be a foregone conclusion for most artists, it was thoroughly deserved, with her team pulling out all the stops. The stage set was stunning: an enormous LED screen that displayed a combination of 00\u2019s Windows graphics, lo-fi visuals, and an occasional onstage live video feed, as well as LED-lit cables and a futuristic light show all combined for a world-class live production.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Australia already has a proud tradition<\/a> of punching well above its weight when it comes to dance music \u2013 but based on this show, we might now have a talisman to which the rest of the world will be playing catch-up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ninajirachi Enmore Theatre, Sydney Friday, July 3rd Fresh off a career-defining 12 months, which included the release of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":525683,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[146,85,46,86183,240290,240291],"class_list":["post-525682","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-ninajirachi","tag-ninajirachi-live-review","tag-ninajirachi-tour"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525682","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=525682"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525682\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/525683"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=525682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=525682"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=525682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
