#arintintin

To say Rico Nasty and Boyz Noize’s latest collab goes hard is an understatement.  

‘Arintintin’ takes me back to the throbbing, fast-paced Eurodance I remember hearing as a kid during the 90s, Rico basically revelling in the delicious electroclash of it all as she declares in eerily determined fashion: 'Face down, ass up, I ain't going home.'  

Says Rico (via Stereogum):  

'Me and Boys Noize started working back in 2018… We finally met in real life after being mutuals for like a year. We did one session, it was fire! And then a few months later ended up on the Friendship Cruise together (for the first time). After the cruise, we made “Money” (feat. Flo Milli) and “1+1” — a song you’ll hear very soon on this project. Fast forward again, maybe 3-4 years, and we did a couple more sessions. We kept gravitating towards techno dance music. He started putting me on to German dance music, and we traded a bunch of songs back and forth. Little by little over a few days, we ended up making three more songs that we really loved and decided we wanted to share with the world. Every session was so much fun and I’m sure that energy is felt across all of these tracks. One of my favorite songs on the project is… all of them. That’s why she is so short!! Talk to you later and see you guys soon.'  

I listened to Rico’s ‘IPHONE’ a lot during lockdown when it was released all the way back in the Dark Ages of 2020, so I love it when she goes full hyper-electro pop... (◠‿◠✿)
