What do you know about a DJ called “HAAi?”
We know a few things about Teneil Throssell (aka HAAi): She was born in Australia, but she lives in London now. Her debut Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1 was named the Essential Mix of the Year. And her debut EP is called ‘Motorik Voodoo Bush Doof Musik.’
I first learned about HAAi at a local club near where I live in Brixton called Phonox. She quickly became known for her all night sets – playing six hours at a time. Her way of mixing techno with everything from Turkish funk to sub-saharan beats is what sets her apart.
In her latest air jordan 11 columbia single, “It’s Something We Can All Learn From,” HAAi takes inspiration from field recordings taken in Marrakech. “I made [this track] whilst in airports, on planes and trains around Europe recently,” says Throssell. “You know when you notice the way someone speaks, and it’s perfect? I bring my field recorder everywhere for that reason. I love making recordings because the sound belongs to everyone through you.”
