About Frost Children:

For Angel and Lulu Prost, the sibling duo behind Frost Children, home has always sounded like dance music. The St. Louis-born musicians grew up steeped in the sleek catharsis of golden-age EDM: huddling over YouTube videos of 2010s festival staples like Zedd, Skrillex, and Krewella; watching rapt as Virtual Riot commanded a headline show at their neighborhood outdoor amphitheater; digging through their eldest brother’s dubstep collection. The duo’s third album SISTER, out September 12th via True Panther/Dirty Hit, is an exhilarating return to those first sounds that moved them, echoing with the reverence and refinement of two formidable artists crafting exactly what they want to hear. But it’s also a striking portrait of Frost Children’s singular creative partnership: as bandmates, as roommates, as symbiotic savants practicing the art of what Angel calls “twin telepathy.” Boldly revitalizing and revolutionizing a too-often- devalued subgenre, Frost Children have delivered their most forthright and full-bodied identity statement yet. As Lulu puts it: "This is so confidently what we love, and what we breathe.”

Melding the sensitivity and songcraft of Hearth Room with the propulsive power of SPEED RUN, SISTER puts forward an arrestingly personal vision for modern dance music that transcends nostalgia and trend-chasing. Delicately weaving strains of emo, electro, and pure pop, Frost Children explore close-to-home themes of co-dependence, consistency, and change, exemplified by the roaring refrain on lead single “CONTROL”: “Tell me the way to live / I’m falling apart.” For all the uncertainty of thrilling anthems, SISTER pulses with the electric energy of two artists confidently reveling in their element.

About Ninajirachi:

Ninajirachi is raising the flag for a new generation of Australian artists on the international stage. From festival appearances at Coachella, Lollapalooza, Laneway, and Spilt Milk to sold-out headline shows on both sides of the Pacific, she has quickly become one of electronic music’s most electrifying new voices. With a sound and style “simultaneously garnering respect from the experimental underground and the mainstream” (Rolling Stone), Nina has been tapped by Nike, Sega, and even Ableton, who selected her to produce the official demo project for Ableton Live.

Nina’s evolution is best captured in the transformation of her childhood inspirations into career allies. Artists such as Charli XCX, Porter Robinson, and Cashmere Cat have gone from influences to touring partners, while Skrillex and SOPHIE have become recurring points of comparison - with Billboard declaring Ninajirachi “the female equivalent of Scary Monsters-era Skrillex.”

Raised on Australia’s Central Coast, Nina remains rooted in curiosity and experimentalism, continually spotlighting emerging artists from the furthest corners of the internet through her DJ sets, collaborations, and her annual headline event, Dark Crystal. Launched in 2022, Dark Crystal is Nina’s dream festival, brought to life - a showcase for unique and developing artists across diverse genres and niches. With the 2025 edition selling out months in advance, Dark Crystal has become a touchstone of Australia’s electronic underground community
