There is something deliciously reckless pulsing through LOVER UNDERCOVER, the Valentine’s Day release from Tokyo-baddie N². It feels engineered for neon nights and lipstick-stained secrets. The track does more than align with the calendar. It reframes Valentine’s Day from soft romance into high-voltage obsession. This is not candlelight and roses. This is adrenaline and afterparties.

The hook says it all: “lover undercover… keep it on the low, wanna be the girl you risk it all for…” It lands like a whispered confession over a strobe-lit beat. It serves as equal parts devotion and danger.

Released on the most love-saturated day of the year, the song cleverly flips the script. Instead of public declarations, N² celebrates secrecy. Instead of safe affection, she leans into risk. It feels perfectly timed for a generation that wants intensity over tradition, passion over predictability.

Sonically, the track explodes with dimensional hyperpop energy. Synths spiral at high velocity, kicks punch with precision, and glossy top lines shimmer like chrome under city lights. There is trance euphoria, acid-edged tension, and a sugary rush that never tips into chaos. Loud is the only way to hear it. Eyes closed, heart racing.

An artist who moves fluidly between underground and fashion spaces with collaborators like Diplo and Ice Spice, and appearances at SUMMER SONIC and ULTRA JAPAN, N² distills modern romance into pure rave euphoria. LOVER UNDERCOVER makes Valentine’s Day feel dangerous again!

We have added LOVER UNDERCOVER to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TRIPPY playlist, whilst we continue to stream N²‘s wider discography, including SL☆T RAVE.

Tokyo’s own N² – DJ, producer, and all-around sonic disruptor – has dropped a deliriously addictive new music video for her track SL☆T RAVE featuring Aisho Nakajima, and it’s nothing short of a sensory overload in the best possible way!

The video, shot and edited by ON-1 (Jimi) and Yuen Hsieh, with creative direction from Yuen Hsieh & N², opens like a glitchy retro video game: a fuchsia pink and white “choose your mode” screen, inviting viewers to select their difficulty level and character. Within seconds, the world fractures into kaleidoscopic VHS-style fragments – grainy, chaotic, yet intensely alive.

From there, we’re pulled into N²’s kaleidoscope: hyper cuts, lo-fi distortion, and strobe-like pacing collide with a blue-lit performance sequence that positions N² front and center. Dressed in her signature aesthetic, the star radiates the authority and charisma of an artist fully in command of her universe. The effect is hypnotic, a digital fever dream that matches the subversive beat and restless energy of the track.

The visual world is a collective effort:

• VFX crafted by Yuen Hsieh & Alberto Bottim
• Produced by Seiho & N², with Seiho also behind the mix and master
• Aisho’s hair styled by RYO
• Featuring appearances from sheidA, Riko, Maria, and KYUNDESU

Much like Gaspar Noé’s Enter the Void, the video oscillates between futuristic surrealism and nostalgic grit. Its dizzying perspective flips mirror the track’s refusal to sit still, immersing us in a neon-drenched Tokyo dreamscape where time feels elastic.

For those unfamiliar, N² is more than a DJ and producer, she’s a cultural catalyst. Based in Tokyo, she helms her own club night KYUNDESU and has lit up global stages at SUBCULTURE, ULTRA TOKYO, and beyond. With SL☆T RAVE, she once again asserts herself as an artist unafraid to merge sonic chaos with radical visual storytelling.

The result? A rave anthem that doubles as an audiovisual wormhole, pulling us deep into N²’s world – and daring us not to lose ourselves in it.

SL☆T RAVE featuring Aisho Nakajima is out now on all platforms, and we have added the track to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TRIPPY playlist, whilst we continue to stream kyundesu, and await more releases from the multi-disciplinary legend!
