Step into the Misoverse, a realm in which creative powerhouse Miso Extra shapes a kaleidoscope of sounds into a striking combination of dynamic synths, serene ASMR elements, and sharp, fragmented hip hop beats.
Her name is a clever twist on the racial taunts she faced growing up in the UK. Confronted with phrases like “me so horny”, and defying the stereotype of the quiet Asian, she reclaims the phrase with a bold transformation into “me so extra” – or Miso Extra.
Her latest single, ‘Slow Down’, produced by DJ Boring, encapsulates the atmosphere and delirium of the end of a night, carried by the energetic pulse of UK garage.
Speaking about the collaboration, Miso Extra says: “When DJ Boring first came to me with this beat I knew it was special and that we had to work together to develop this idea. This track for me evokes a feeling of exhaustive euphoria at the end of a night out, coupled with that trance-like state of desire to want to get home”.
“When I was tracking the vocal for the song I was getting really frustrated that I wasn’t getting the delivery and intonation quite how I wanted it, so much so that in one of the takes I blurted out ‘I didn’t get it’”, she adds, “which eventually ended up being used as a sample on the track”.
