Porter Robinson & Ninajirachi on Their Debut Collab: ‘I’m Getting Messages From People I Didn’t Even Think Would Like It’

The origin of 'WannaCry' dates back to a concert in Sydney where Porter Robinson and Ninajirachi first crossed paths as teenagers. This early connection set the stage for their eventual studio collaboration, which has now transitioned from a long-anticipated project into a publicly available track.

Following the single's release, Billboard notes that the artists are observing a wide breadth of listener reactions, with Robinson stating he has received messages from individuals he did not expect to appreciate the sound. Outlets including Pitchfork, EDMTunes, and The Playground describe the release as a significant union of the two electronic artists, while Esquire Philippines characterizes the track's sonic profile as capturing euphoria.

Public reception remains the primary focus as the song circulates across streaming platforms. While the collaborative process was rooted in their history in Sydney, specific details regarding future joint performances or additional studio work remain unconfirmed by the artists or their respective representatives.
