Alice Olsthoorn creates music that feels like a high-definition digital rendering of a nightclub. It is bright, saturated, and intentionally artificial, utilizing the tools of hyperpop to build a world where the synthetic is more real than the organic. The percussion is sharp and metallic, the synths are crystalline, and the energy is consistently dialed to a ten, creating a sense of constant forward motion.
What sets her apart is the intersection of this maximalist production with deeply personal and often defiant themes of identity. Her work often functions as a reclamation of space, using the exaggerated tropes of bubblegum pop to explore the trans experience and the complexities of being a digital-native artist. It is music that is as much about the community it builds as it is about the sounds themselves.
Start with her 2022 project Transtopia to hear the foundation of her sound, then move into her 2025 work Prod. By Me to experience the evolution of her production skills. It is the perfect soundtrack for anyone who finds beauty in the glitch and power in the plastic.
