SHITTY PRINCESS CHANNELS GOLDEN ERA OF DANCE MUSIC ON CELEBRATORY NEW EP “EDM 2015”
LISTEN | HERE
Shitty Princess has never been shy about living life like a fairy tale, complete with euphoric drops, glittering melodies, and her trademark lampshade crown. Now, she’s leaning all the way into nostalgia with her new EP EDM 2015, out October 3rd. A four-track celebration of the golden era when dance music first began its worldwide takeover, the project is equal parts love letter, time machine, and afterparty.
EDM Nostalgia Reimagined
Featuring soaring lead single “Same Stars,” the EP promptly glides into the breezy, upbeat shimmer of “Shatters,” a track that already feels like a festival classic in the making. “EDM 101” keeps the playful energy alive, a wink-and-nod to the era when Zedd, Calvin Harris, and The Chainsmokers dominated the charts. And the closer, the triumphant, future-bass-powered track “Shitty Princess,” delivers a goosebump-inducing drop that instantly teleports listeners back to the days when electronic music first began to feel larger than life.
“For me, EDM 2015 is an origin story in sound,” Shitty Princess shares. “That was the year I stopped just loving EDM and started living it. It wasn’t just about music, it was about possibility, passion, and believing you could turn a dream into a career. People are craving that energy again, and this is my way of bringing it back.”
And in true SP fashion, she’s making sure her timing is just as bold as the music itself. With EDM 2015 landing the same day as Taylor Swift’s upcoming release, Shitty Princess leans into the moment with confidence: “Everyone will be on Spotify to hear Taylor; I’ll be right there too, riding the same wave with a different voice. If she’s the headline, I’m the afterparty.”
The Fairy Tale Behind the Lampshade
Of course, it’s impossible to talk about Shitty Princess without mentioning the lampshade. Both a disguise and a declaration, it’s become her calling card and crown. “At a party, the person with the lampshade on their head is usually the wildest,” she says. “If I’m the DJ, then you don’t have to be! I’m here so you can relax, let go, and escape into a fairytale adventure.” Equal parts satire and empowerment, it makes her ageless, timeless, and unbound by expectation.
Behind the lamp, Shitty Princess has built an impressive kingdom. She’s the mastermind behind Princessfest, a women-centric festival celebrating empowerment through music and community, complete with national sponsors and immersive experiences. She’s also a staple of New York Fashion Week, where her SoHo merch drops, runway shows, and Times Square billboards turn heads season after season. Her resume sparkles just as brightly as her music: Recording Academy voting producer, Grammy consideration for Producer of the Year, and performances alongside Post Malone, Dillon Francis, Steve Aoki, Migos, and Zeds Dead.
With EDM 2015, Shitty Princess doesn’t just pay homage to a cultural moment, she reimagines it in her own technicolor world. It’s a reminder that the magic of2015 isn’t gone at all; it’s just been waiting for the right fairy tale to bring it back.
