Following an incredible start to the year that saw her grace the cover of Mixmag, visionary producer, singer, and DJ HAAi – aka Teneil Throssell – announces her highly anticipated debut album, Baby, We’re Ascending, out May 27 via Mute. Today’s announcement follows “Lights Out,” her recent collaboration with Romy (The xx) and Fred Again... which has already amassed millions of streams, top-tier press coverage, and strong radio support.   Alongside unveiling the LP, Teneil also releases “Bodies Of Water,” the first single from the album. Listen here.   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.   Quickly becoming one of the most beloved electronic artists working today whose fans range from The Chemical Brothers to Jon Hopkins, 2022 will see HAAi move from being one of the most esteemed producers and DJs on the scene into a fully-fledged artistic force capable of transcending the genre.   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.   The result is a record that seamlessly merges elements of techno, house, drum and bass, downtempo, and pop-leaning electro in a profoundly beautiful way that is singular in vision.   Speaking about the album, Teneil says: “Getting this album out of my head and computer is quite the cathartic experience.  Baby, We’re Ascending is a hyperactive journey, that feels like a real reflection of who I am.  I’m so proud of every second of it.   Of all the experimentation as well as the collaborators.  It was made with great love and care. I hope you enjoy.”   MORE ABOUT HAAi Since scoring an early BBC1 Essential Mix of the Year win in 2018, HAAi has established herself as both one of the fastest rising young voices in electronic music and a figurehead within the scene intent on creating safe, inclusive spaces for all. From headlining the dance stage at last year’s All Points East to selling out a very special show at Village Underground in November, HAAi has brought her showstopping sets everywhere from Block 9 at Glastonbury to Primavera and played venues as diverse as Circa Loco and the Tate Modern (where she performed at Prada Extends alongside Richie Hawtin, Overmono & OK Williams). HAAi also runs cult electronic label Radical New Theory with her partner Alice Pelly to give a platform to some of the best new and undiscovered artists working today.   .     credit: Imogene Barron Baby, We’re Ascending Tracklisting 1.
