Ninajirachi welcomes PC Music's umru and NYC duo MGNA Crrrta to the neon-drenched underground for two nights this August.
Electronic wunderkind Ninajirachi is hitting us with the fourth round of her brainchild Dark Crystal this winter, bringing a seriously stacked lineup of forward-thinking electronic talent to Melbourne and Sydney.
The club night has evolved into a cornerstone event for Australia’s underground EDM scene since launching at VIVID Festival in 2022.
Ninajirachi presents: Dark Crystal 4.0
- Fri 22 Aug – Industrique – Naarm / Melbourne
- Sat 23 Aug – Manning Bar – Eora / Sydney

Fresh off the back of Ninajirachi vs. umru: Tour-Based Combat – a wildly successful US co-headline tour with five sold-out shows – Estonian-American producer umru will be heading down under to continue what Nina describes as “the best lineup ever.”
At just 18, umru caught the attention of PC Music head honcho A. G. Cook, landing a production credit on Charli XCX’s game-changing mixtape Pop 2. Since then, he’s worked with Caroline Polachek, Tommy Cash and founded Moment, a curated sample pack label at Splice.
Also joining the lineup are NYC electronic pop duo MGNA Crrrta, who toured with Nina across the States last year before dropping their collab Angel Music – which Billboard named one of their Top 50 dance songs of 2024.
The pair’s distinctive sound and eye-popping aesthetic (think rhinestone heels, golden tattoos and metric tonnes of glitter) have earned them serious industry cred, with Hedi Slimane tapping them to DJ at Celine’s Homme Summer afterparty in Paris.
Despite being only 24, Ninajirachi has been flying the flag for Australia’s next-gen electronic artists on the global stage. This year has already seen her traversing the country with Porter Robinson and Laneway Festival before dropping her cosmic new single All I Am, which hit #1 Most Played on triple j and cracked the ARIA singles charts.
Previous Dark Crystal editions have showcased cutting-edge talent including Donatachi, Ravenna Golden, Lonelyspeck and NYC producer Doss, who made her Australian debut at last year’s event alongside sets from Cherry Chola and 1NN3R 53LF.
Tickets for Dark Crystal 4.0 go on sale from 9AM AEST this Thursday 10 April. More artists will be announced soon. For all tour dates and ticket information, head here.
