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 âme so hornyâ, and defying the stereotype of the quiet Asian, she reclaims the phrase with a bold transformation into âme so extraâ - or Miso Extra.
Her latest single, âSlow Downâ, 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: âWhen 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 homeâ.
âWhen I was tracking the vocal for the song I was getting really frustrated that I wasnât getting the delivery and intonation quite how I wanted it, so much so that in one of the takes I blurted out âI didnât get itââ, she adds, âwhich eventually ended up being used as a sample on the trackâ.
