With the release of My DNA, Swedish–Balkan artist and songwriter GINAxC solidifies her place as one of the most compelling voices in the contemporary electronic music landscape. Known for her rapid rise from debut artist to international airplay on over 40 radio markets, GINAxC now offers her first full-length project: a confident, genre-spanning statement that fuses EDM energy with the elegance of French house, shaped by her background in electropop, R&B, and modern disco.
At the core of My DNA lies rhythm – intricate yet accessible, pulsating with the unmistakable drive of the club while maintaining a polished finesse. The beats are crafted with precision, blending four-to-the-floor house patterns with syncopated accents that nod to her R&B influences. Each track layers percussion in a way that builds tension and release, evoking the late-night dancefloor while remaining versatile enough for radio play. From steady kicks that anchor the groove to shimmering hi-hats and sharp claps, the rhythmic backbone of the record makes every track feel alive, constantly pushing forward with momentum.
The synth work throughout the album is equally striking. GINAxC favors rich, layered textures that oscillate between dark sensuality and bright euphoria. On some tracks, deep analog basslines carve out a subterranean foundation, while airy pads and filtered chords float above, creating a dynamic interplay of weight and lightness. The French house influence is unmistakable: lush filters, subtle sidechain compression, and chopped vocal textures evoke a sense of timeless dance nostalgia. Yet, these elements are never used as mere homage. Instead, they are reframed within GINAxC’s signature sound – sleek, cinematic, and emotionally charged.
Atmospherically, My DNA builds a complete world. It is both intimate and expansive, balancing raw vulnerability with commanding confidence. The darker moments channel a moody, nocturnal energy, reminiscent of underground clubs and shadowy dancefloors, while other passages break into radiant, almost celebratory brightness. This duality reflects GINAxC herself: an artist unafraid to embrace contrast – soft and hard, delicate and bold. The result is an album that feels deeply personal, yet universally resonant.
Vocally and lyrically, GINAxC continues to draw from her own lived experience. Her songwriting thrives on repetition and mantra-like delivery, weaving words into the rhythmic structure so that the vocals become both narrative and instrument. Tracks radiate empowerment and sensuality, while others expose fragility and introspection, creating an arc that mirrors the complexity of human emotion. Whether through whispered phrases riding atop minimal beats or soaring refrains paired with expansive synth swells, her voice always commands attention, guiding the listener through the record’s shifting moods.
What makes My DNA particularly compelling is how it unites the nostalgic with the contemporary. Echoes of ’90s MTV-era dance and 2000s club anthems intertwine seamlessly with current electronic production techniques, ensuring the album feels both familiar and forward-looking. It is music that can fill a dark club at peak hour but also resonate through headphones in solitary moments of reflection.
As a debut album, My DNA is a confident introduction to the full spectrum of GINAxC’s artistry. It is a release of high quality, meticulously produced and emotionally layered, that we are proud to feature on our webzine. With rhythm that captivates, synths that envelop, and an atmosphere that lingers long after the last beat, GINAxC has delivered a body of work that not only defines her sound but also secures her place in today’s electronic music conversation.
