Selects: HAAi

Selects: HAAi

London DJ/producer Teneil Throssell’s debut album as HAAi, Baby, We’re Ascending, is the kind of post-modern electronic record that creates a wonderful new world of sound from its influences. Breakbeat, dub, techno, noise, shoegaze, pop—the LP plays all sorts of synthetic and acoustic textures against one another for a vibe that’s part dreamy, part dancey, in the head as much as the body. Always Ascending, the subtitle she’s given to her Selects playlist—in which DJs and producers showcase their favourite tracks of any given moment—“is a reflection of tracks that really inspire me as well as tunes I’ve been playing out recently,” she tells Apple Music. “There’s also some sneaky bits of my own in there.” Check out all HAAi's Selects, and read on for her thoughts on a few choice tracks. Koreless, “Yonder” “Koreless has been one of my favourite artists for many years. I first heard his music when we toured together when I first started playing in clubs. He is an insane talent.” LUXE, “A83” “LUXE is such a talented rising artist, and this is one of my favourite tracks of hers. She has a classical background in music, and you can really hear that in her electronic compositions.” The Cure, “A Forest (Tree Mix)” “This is such a special track to me and has been since I was a teen. I can’t wait to close a festival set with it this year somewhere.”
