“From pummelling techno to breaks and heady ’90s rave, HAAi’s sets are fast and furious, weird and wonderful.” — MIXMAG

 

“…psychedelic electronica, massive breakbeat sounds, anthemic synth-kissed songs and remarkably fun D.J. sets…” — THE NEW YORK TIMES (Artists to Watch 2025)

 

"While plenty of electronic musicians will pontificate on the meaning of machines, rarely do they craft a work that embodies the complexity of contradiction that is being alive. Your AIs could never.” — Billboard

 

For Immediate Release - August 25, 2026 - HAAi will celebrate the release of her forthcoming album DIGITiSE with one of her signature marathon sets, taking over Refuge in New York City on October 18 for 10 hours behind the decks, from 4 PM straight through to 2 AM the following morning.

The newly announced NYC date rounds out a whirlwind U.S. weekend for the London-based, Australian-born DJ, producer, songwriter and vocalist, who heads to Miami for iii Points on October 17 before continuing into the night at the festival’s official Satellite afterparty at The Ground at Club Space alongside Jacques Greene and DJ Fuckoff. From there, it’s straight to New York for 10 hours behind the decks at Refuge, with details of a very special San Francisco appearance also coming soon.

More than simply an album release party, the marathon format gets directly to the DNA of DIGITiSE. The album was shaped by HAAi’s evolution as a DJ and music road-tested across hundreds of hours behind the decks, capturing the genre-fluidity, unpredictability and emotional arc of a HAAi set.

“I’m so excited to return to North America this October for a run of super fun dates. I’m preparing for my 10-hour set at Refuge in support of my new album DIGITiSE. Following my last NYC set at Public Records, which was eight hours, I decided to switch into another gear and give myself an extra two hours to really explore my collection. Playing long sets is how I came up as a DJ, so 10 hours really feels like my comfort zone. I can’t wait to get stuck in.” -HAAi

 

DIGITiSE follows HAAi’s acclaimed 2025 album HUMANiSE, a pivotal record that saw her step further beyond the DJ booth and into the foreground as a singer and songwriter, placing her own voice and vulnerability at the heart of the music. As she told Beatportal, “using my own voice felt like the most human thing I could do for the story of the album.”

With DIGITiSE, HAAi takes that emotional core back to the club. Described as HUMANiSE’s “bigger, ravey sibling,” the new album was written between marathon DJ sets and shaped through countless hours on dancefloors around the world. Her latest single “Ignition” brings HAAi’s personal story into that space, documenting her coming-of-age as a queer kid in a small town, desperate to leave and ultimately finding freedom and community on the dancefloor.

At the center of both records is community. For HAAi, the dancefloor remains one of the increasingly rare places where people can come together in real life, across identities and backgrounds, to feel connection, freedom and belonging. As a queer artist, she has consistently championed inclusive spaces and diverse dancefloors, with DIGITiSE opening that world even wider through its collaborators, visuals and the shared experience of the music itself. As she told DJ Mag, the dancefloor is “a space of belonging and connection,” while speaking to Luna Collective, she noted that queer representation “encourages safer dance floors and for people to feel seen and comfortable.”

It’s that spirit that makes the 10-hour Refuge set such a natural album celebration: the time and space to move across genres and tempos, build a room over the course of a night, and create the kind of shared experience that sits at the very center of DIGITiSE.

HAAi heads into the October dates following a busy summer across Europe, including World Pride Amsterdam, Sziget and Maiden Voyage in London where she opened the vault for her first-ever 100% HAAi production set alongside Ibiza dates and B2Bs with the likes of DJ Tennis, DJ Seinfeld and Sally C.

The DIGITiSE campaign continues to unfold following the title track “DIGITiSE” and “Ignition” featuring Echonomist. Next up is “I Wanna Feel Like Someone” featuring James Massiah, arriving September 1, shifting the focus squarely back to the dancefloor and the peak-time moments that helped inspire the album.

“‘I Wanna Feel Like Someone’ nods to those peak-time moments on the dancefloor. It pushes the elements I love most in dance music — bass and frequency — and ties them together with Motorik rhythms.” — HAAi
