Episode 36: HAAi

In anticipation of her new album, HUMANISE, on Mute Records, we talk to DJ & producer HAAi about how a young hairdresser from a small town Down Under landed in London, broke up with her psych rock band, fell in love with house and techno and ended up on the world's biggest stages. Topics include wild rave locations, drug trips, fat pants, dinosaur energies and doof sticks; how she selects records and the elements that play into her otherworldly musical style. Teneil also sheds some light on what it's like to go B2B with The Blessed Madonna, shares advice, talks about the importance of safe spaces and authenticity and tells tales from the making of her latest album with collaborators like Jon Hopkins and the Trans Voices choir. From tree shakers to yacht people, it's all in here. Get amongst it!
