Nikki’s futuristic productions (including live drums and bass) alongside Nala’s dynamic vocal range highlight these two songs on opposite ends of the spectrum. The frenetic, breakbeat and filtered vocal of “Escape” is a combo of nasty electro and hardcore jungle distortion. The title track, “The World is Always Ending”, is a modernized twist on Sneaker Pimps and Chemical Brothers resulting in one of the stand out singles on the label this year.
Regarding the EP, Nala said, ‘When the world feels like it’s always ending, searching for a way to escape seems like the best solution!” This EP is about existential dread and resorting to hedonism as a way to cope with all the noise.
Nikki added, “’Escape’ was the first track we made together and it felt kind of like testing the waters of what I could do with vocal processing and stuff. That track went so smoothly that I felt a bit more free to be creative on ‘The World is Always Ending’, and used live instruments and got a bit more creative with distortion.”
Both Nala and Nikki Nair have had breakout years on Dirtybird. LA-based producer, DJ, and vocalist Nala released several tracks on the label last year including her recent two-track collaboration with Claude VonStroke on the ‘Everything Is Burning’ EP plus her solo release on the ‘Psychic Attack’ EP. Upon discovering Nikki’s music in 2020, she sent it to Claude who was enamored with his production and immediately brought him on as part of the family.
The Atlanta based producer and DJ, Nikki Nair, has released two EPs on Dirtybird so far, most recently , which was released last year on the White Label series and has performed at both signature events Dirtybird Campout and Dirtybird CampINN.
The 6th release on the series following recent EPs including Hugo Massien’s ‘Fast Forward’’, to Ivy Lab’s ‘Press Play’, the Dirtybird White Label continues to venture into more left of center and underground sounds. Launched in 2021, the label set out a simple mission with their new arm: to defy expectations of the current sound and continue its ethos as a formidable tastemaker, now with a new release which is the first collaboration between Nala and Nikki.
The release of the new EP, ‘The World Is Always Ending’’ will be available on April 15th via Dirtybird’s White Label Series as well as the signature white vinyl with the original Dirtybird logo that Claude VonStroke drew by hand many decades ago.
