With releases on Drumcode, Filth on Acid, PIAS and more, she’s carved out a global presence — performing at Tomorrowland, Awakenings, Hï Ibiza, Amnesia, fabric London, and across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. In 2024, she was ranked the #2 best-selling female techno artist on Beatport, solidifying her position as one of the genre’s most commanding and connected artists.
Now, following an 18-month journey across four elemental EPs, Mha Iri completes the cycle with her debut album ‘Four Elements’. Set for digital release on November 28th, 2025, and arriving on vinyl on December 5th, the collection brings together key tracks from her ‘Earth’, ‘Fire’, ‘Water’, and ‘Air’ EPs — each one exploring a different facet of her creative identity. From grounded strength and raw passion to fluid emotion and liberated movement, the record captures her evolution as an artist, both in sound and spirit.
To mark the release, Mha Iri shares 10 tracks that channel elemental energy — from storm and fire to gravity, tension, and calm.
1. Argy – Fire Emoji
“Unsurprisingly, ‘Fire Emoji’ for me has the qualities of the fire element. It always sets the dancefloor alight and is pure energy from the get-go.”
2. R79 – Crash
“The leads in this track during the break are airy and ethereal, but the drop feels like a full-on storm.”
3. Advokate – Rock The Body
“This track is an absolute banger, and the deep, booming bass has a grounding feeling like earth — heavy and unrelenting.”
4. Y-Traxx – Mysteryland (Quinny remix)
“I’ve been playing this a lot in my sets when I want to reset the energy or bring something uplifting and emotional. This song is so beautiful — I imagine soaring above the clouds in euphoria.”
5. Memento Mori – Layl
“There’s a beautiful arp in this track that reminds me of water falling. It balances emotion with a heavy low end.”
6. SDK (IT) – Horus
“This is an absolute knocker of a track with a huge bass drop and slightly eerie melodies in the break.”
7. Version 34 – Flexamina
“I’m absolutely loving everything this super talented duo put out. This track is full energy hard dance with a huge acid drop that blows you away.”
8. Marco Leckbert – Worldwired
“There’s a great little rhythmic vocal in this, but the beauty is in the drop, which has an unexpected and powerful synth.”
9. Area One – Switch
“The name of this track is very apt, as it seems to be two distinctly different tracks in one — and that’s why I love it! The switches between the different basslines completely take you by surprise. It’s genius.”
10. T78, MOTVS – Acid Train
“Another absolute banger that samples the sound of a train coming in at speed. I love tracks that have a unique or quirky aspect, and this definitely fits the bill while also being an absolute banger!”
