Speed House is officially in overdrive, and CHYL is in the driver’s seat. Following a massive performance at EDC’s Cosmic Meadow and the announcement of her biggest headline show yet, the breakout producer has dropped her Monstercat debut EP, Pretty Race Girl — a six-track, high-gloss, high-speed celebration of femininity, rave culture, and genre-defying sound design.
Known for her kinetic energy and genre-pushing production, CHYL turns the volume up with a record that’s as bold as it is beautifully chaotic. From the dreamy lift-off of “Distant Dreams” (with k?d) to the nostalgia-fueled title track “Pretty Race Girl” — a rework of the Y2K cult classic — she merges glitchy textures, 150BPM foundations, and hyper-pop aesthetics into a singular, turbo-charged statement.
Highlights include “Fast Lane” featuring Bianca, a euphoric rollercoaster of melodic builds and pulse-pounding drops, and the fearless title track that rewires old-school rave spirit with a rebellious, modern twist. Across the EP, CHYL balances melodic vulnerability with high-octane aggression, crafting music made for both warehouse floors and festival stages.
“Imagine Fast and Furious, but the girls win,” CHYL says. That ethos drives every beat of Pretty Race Girl — fierce, emotional, and unapologetically feminine. It’s a vision that challenges the male-dominated landscape of dance music and reclaims speed, power, and sound through a distinctly female lens.
To celebrate the release, CHYL will bring her world to The Observatory in Santa Ana on July 12 for a headline show unlike any other — complete with racing simulators, a car meet, and her CHYL 2.0 live debut. It’s not just a concert; it’s a culture reset.
From finance grad to festival mainstay, CHYL is proving that you don’t need to follow the rules to make an impact — you just need to go faster. And with Pretty Race Girl, she’s built a machine built to last.
