Mha Iri four-EP series 'Elements', reveals first instalment 'Leader of the Pack'
The launch EP's eponymous lead single is available now.
Mha Iri has announced a four-instalment-long EP series, themed under 'Elements', this week launching first issue 'Leader of the Pack' representing the element of Earth.
Set for release on December 6, its lead eponymous single is available now, which hits the ground running with Mha Iri's trademark racing techno beats intertwining with hoover synth chords and dark, no-holds-barred spoken lyrics.

"‘The bigger you get, the more backlash you get," she explains on the track's sentiment. "But remember, your passion makes you unique. All the noise isn't relevant. You're the boss, bringing something special to the table. Keep following your dreams and be unapologetically you."
Elsewhere, the 'Leader of the Pack' EP employs phases of melodics, resonant vocals, arp-led bass, rampageous percussives and beyond. It's a full-throttle three tracker primed for the dancefloor.
"The 'Elements' theme came natural to me, inspired by my deep love for nature and its ever-changing forms," Mha Iri continues. "Just as earth, air, fire, and water each bring something essential yet distinct, they reflect the different sides of who I am.
"This theme not only connects me to the world around me but also provides limitless room for creativity and interpretation, making it a perfect way to showcase the layers of my identity through music and visuals."
