“It’s like a fun ideas machine really. I use it in a similar way to the way people crate dig for material,” says Australian producer Ninajirachi on the “cute” soft synth she picks out for My Forever Studio, brought to you in partnership with Audient. The synth in question comes alongside a handful of intriguing plugins, studio gear and one very specific luxury item. All of this is part of the Studio Foreverdom game, where we ask guests to pick six items they’d make music with for eternity.

Ninajirachi’s brand of ‘girlEDM’ blends hyperpop, hard dance, electro house, and video game music, and has taken her to incredible heights. She’s remixed for Deadmau5 and The Neptunes, opened for Charli XCX, and has been likened to Scary Monster’s-era Skrillex. She even appeared on MusicTech’s digital cover last year to break down girl EDM – disc 1 and the secret of sampling her own tracks to find new textures.

On the eve of Ninajirachi’s debut full-length album release, we talk about making tracks dancefloor functional, the lengths to which she’ll go when processing her own vocals, and how EDM became her “gateway drug” to music production. Listen below and on your favourite podcasting platform.

The My Forever Studio podcast – created in partnership with Audient – sees artists, producers, and engineers create their dream fantasy Forever Studio, wherever they want in the universe. However, hosts Chris Barker and Will Betts impose some strict rules in the Forever Studio. Our guests are permitted a limited number of items in their creative space, so they must choose carefully. There will be nostalgia. There will be anecdotes. There may be gags. But there will be no bundles!
