Young Australians Mallrat, Ninajirachi, Daine and Donatachi look into the epicentre of the media term 鈥榟yperpop鈥�. It鈥檚 bubble-gum sweet, with chaotic synth sounds mixed with pop and autotuned vocals, and the volume turned up to 11. Together, they discuss feeling old in the hyperpop genre (they鈥檙e all in their teens, or early 20s), not having any musical training, why face-to-face sessions are tough, how Daine鈥檚 autism feeds into her music, and how they feel when their music gets put in a playlist called Chill BBQ Music.

Ninajirachi is a songwriter, producer and DJ who鈥檚 been tagged as 鈥渙ne of Australia鈥檚 first notable hyperpop artists鈥�. She got into music production after hearing the 鈥榟yperkinetic鈥� pop producer Sophie. Earlier this year, she released the True North EP with musical prodigy Kota Banks. Donatachi is a musician from Brisbane, described as one of 鈥淎ustralia鈥檚 best-known Hyperpop producers鈥�. Their 2019 underground hit Crush on U, in collaboration with Slayyyter, is credited as being the song that set the hyperpop scene in motion. Daine is a Filipino-Australian producer from Melbourne, whose latest track, boy wanna txt, is produced by former Music Life guests 100 Gecs. And hosting the show is Mallrat, from Brisbane. She makes dreamy electronic pop and was recently named as one of the 鈥�100 Women Revolutionising Pop鈥�. Mark Ronson is also a fan.
