Porter Robinson and Ninajirachi Release Debut Single “WannaCry”

Electronic music producers Porter Robinson and Australian DJ‑producer Ninajirachi have issued their first collaborative track, titled “WannaCry.” The single was released on July 28, 2026 through I Love Cats/NLV Records. Their partnership stems from a long‑standing connection that began when they first met as teenagers at a concert in Sydney, and later re‑connected when Ninajirachi opened for Robinson on his 2025 Australian tour.

Robinson recorded the song at his studio in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, while Ninajirachi was in Chicago for Lollapalooza. Both artists described the creative process as shy yet immediate, noting that the track blends punchy, synth‑driven hyperpop‑leaning electronic sounds with emotional depth. Following the release, Robinson said he has been receiving messages from listeners he did not expect would enjoy the song, and the collaboration has generated widespread attention across streaming platforms and music press.

The release marks a notable moment for both artists: Robinson, a veteran of the electronic scene, and Ninajirachi, a rising 26‑year‑old talent who cites Robinson’s music and live shows as formative influences during her upbringing in Australia.
