Inspired by a chance trip to Berghain, HAAi started DJing by digging into a wealth of music on the psychedelic spectrum from around the globe. Her Coconut Beats parties in Dalston led to shows on Rinse FM and Worldwide FM, and eventually to a prestigious residency at the London club Phonox where Throssell played Saturday nights for two years. As her residency came to end, BBC Radio 1 broadcast her Essential Mix which went on to win the accolade of the Best Essential Mix of the year, alumni of which include Helena Hauff, Caribou, Nicolas Jaar and Ben Klock. HAAi was then granted a monthly Radio 1 slot, which continues into 2020. Over the last year, HAAi has won over crowds at renowned events such as Sonar Festival and Glastonbury, been responsible for an incredibly memorable Boiler Room and found an ever-increasing fanbase internationally who have bought into her eclectic selections. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe new EP, \u003ci\u003eSystems Up, Windows Down\u003c\/i\u003e feels like an evolution from the previous releases on her own label.

In all of her work, Teneil has always sought to conquer new frontiers in electronic music, and on the new album, she’s drilling deeper into the grid. \u003cem\u003eHUMANiSE\u003c\/em\u003e reckons with what it is to be human in an increasingly digital world, as AI threatens to eclipse everything and our screens separate us from each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is an ambitious and thrilling epic: embodying a sonic step up, and a distinct evolution from her 2022 debut, \u003cem\u003eBaby, We’re Ascending\u003c\/em\u003e.  Voices – both real and digitised – play a huge part on \u003cem\u003eHUMANiSE\u003c\/em\u003e, alongside ideas of community and a sense of belonging. She has returned to work with friends including Jon Hopkins, Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip, singer Obi Franky, rapper KAM-BU, artist Kaiden Ford, and poet James Massiah, as well as two choirs: Trans Voices with choir leader ILĀ and a gospel choir led by Wendi Rose. Having spent years behind the decks, HAAi also brings her own voice to the forefront in a powerful shift toward vulnerability and self-expression. Her vocals, stunningly delicate, give a newfound dimension to her kinetic productions. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album’s concept became clear while HAAi was in the studio with Hopkins. The pair were playing with a vocal harmonizer plug-in with a function called \u003cem\u003eHumanize\u003c\/em\u003e. For HAAi, a light went off: “The idea of something completely synthetic trying to make an actual person sound more human is crazy,” she says. HAAi blurs these extremes throughout the album: digitising voices, layering them to hazy effect, and even using an AI text-to-speech to generate her voice. But, ultimately, she concludes that experience and memory – what makes us truly human – cannot be replaced.  From the euphoric opener ‘Satellite’, to BBC Radio 6 Music A-listed track ‘Can’t Stand To Lose’, and genre-smashing cuts like ‘Shapeshift’, the album is filled with exhilarating sonic twists and deeply personal lyrics. \u003cem\u003eHUMANiSE\u003c\/em\u003e  is a powerful, emotionally charged leap forward: a celebration of community, self-expression and humanity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mute","offers":[{"title":"2LP - Crystal Clear","offer_id":51911312802123,"sku":"R6921-6284","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":51911312769355,"sku":"R6921-4576","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/HAAi_Humanise_FINAL.jpg?v=1748426593"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_0889dce3_thumbnail_4096_eeaa6888-b9ad-4120-b903-68cb5e07a5b0.jpg?v=1726701616","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/haai.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
