Fresh off an incredible seven-date run across Australia that saw her perform everywhere from
Boiler Room x Sugar Mountain to closing Melbourne’s Pitch Music & Arts festival, visionary producer, singer & DJ
HAAi – aka Teneil Throssell – releases her brand new single,
“Purple Jelly Disc,” featuring London-based singer
Obi Franky. The track is the latest release to be taken from her highly anticipated forthcoming debut
, Baby, We’re Ascending, out
May 27 on Mute. The track is accompanied by a new mind-melting video created by
The Horror’s Tom Furse who has previously worked with Teneil on her
AV set at Sonar Istanbul and
Mixmag cover.

Baby, We’re Ascending is available on limited special edition splattered double vinyl that is packaged in a gatefold sleeve with fluorescent pink ink, spot gloss varnish, and embossing. The album will also be available on sky blue vinyl, CD, and digital platforms. Pre-order
here.
2022 is already shaping up to be a landmark year for HAAi. In the last few months she’s graced the cover of Mixmag, released her new single
"Bodies of Water," collaborated on the critically acclaimed track
"Lights Out" with friends
Romy (xx) & Fred Again… and played dates in Australia, Belfast, Lyon, Brighton and Istanbul’s Sonar Festival. Additionally, she’s just announced her
debut U.S. tour including a very special date at Detroit’s legendary Movement Festival on the May 30.
Already one of the most in-demand electronic artists working today due to her humor, playfulness, and ability to effortlessly weave across all genres, this year will see Teneil become a fully-fledged artistic force. Nowhere is this more evident than on
Baby, We’re Ascending which seamlessly merges elements of techno, house, drum n bass, downtempo, and pop-leaning electro into a cohesive and striking project singular in vision.
With community and collaboration being a key theme running throughout the LP,
Baby, We’re Ascending features an all-star line-up of contributors including
Jon Hopkins, Alexis Taylor, Moxie, and
Obi Franky as well as the spoken word poet and trans-visibility activist
Kai-Isaiah Jamal. Additionally, Teneil chose to craft the album alongside a roster of exceptional female and non-binary creatives including designer
Raissa Pardini, mixing engineer
Marta Salogni (Björk, Romy), engineer/producer
Francine Perry, string arranger
Quinta, and creative director and long-time collaborator
Imogene Barron.
