About This Track
'Chichinya' arrives as a three-minute burst of velocity and venom. The track moves at a sprint, its production bright and immediate, built for the kind of hook that lodges itself on first listen. Ashnikko's approach here is blunt force: direct address, no innuendo, desire and aggression written in capital letters and pushed to the front of the mix. The title itself carries a private joke, borrowed from her own vocabulary for misbehaviour, but the song transforms it into something louder and more confrontational. The writing trades in vivid, violent imagery paired with pop-ready catchphrases. Lines about eyeballs and necklaces sit alongside declarations of appetite and threat, the tone cartoonish enough to keep the violence playful rather than literal. That tonal balance is the song's real craft: it can be crude and catchy at once, which is precisely the point. A Dork three-star record, 'Chichinya' lands the effect it aims for, even if subtlety isn't part of the brief. Whether the brashness lands depends on how much you're willing to meet it halfway.

Dr. Martha Newson heads up new on-site research lab studying festival behaviour.

BitterSweet returns to Poland with a stacked bill built for discovery, singalongs and everything in between.
Ashnikko has made a record that treats provocation as pop craft.

Tonight, Ashnikko proves she is a one-of-a-kind star.

Two years ago, **Ashnikko** announced a trio of shows at London’s Omeara in support of their ‘Hi, It’s Me’ EP. Over those three nights, they were set to play to just under 1,000 people before the global pandemic put a stop to those plans. Tonight, one mixtape and a handful of singles later, Ashnikko finally gets to play a headline show in her adopted hometown of London.
Big, brash and bold, Ashnikko never pulls a single punch.
