HAAi Shares New Track “Stitches” & Tour Dates

London-based, Australian-born producer, songwriter and DJ, HAAi (aka Teneil Throssell) edges closer to the release of her second studio album, HUMANiSE, with the release of a new track, “Stitches.”

Listen to “Stitches” HERE, which Throssell says is “a naive love letter to yourself, your lover and your friends. The people who evoke the strongest feelings in you and who make you feel the most human.”

She also has announced news of an exclusive NYC event at The Lot Radio this Wednesday, September 10th from 7:00 PM EST – 9:00PM EST, where she will pre-release screen HUMANiSE by HAAi – a New Visions Original production that brings the conceptual world of HAAi’s forthcoming album to life through a live performance filmed inside London’s Drumsheds.

Featuring collaborators Jon Hopkins, Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip), Obi Franky, KAM-BU, Trans Voices and Kaiden Ford, HUMANiSE fuses powerful visuals with HAAi’s boundary-pushing sound into an unforgettable cinematic performance. The event is free and open to the public. The Lot is located at 17 Nassau Ave. Brooklyn, NY. More info HERE.

“Stitches” comes hot on the heels of her tribute to the dancefloor, “Hey!,” and follows recent tracks “Satellite” (feat. Jon Hopkins & Obi Franky & ILĀ & TRANS VOICES) and “Can’t Stand To Lose,” both A-listed by BBC Radio 6 Music, plus her collaboration with KAM-BU, “Shapeshift.” After a busy summer – recent DJ sets include Coachella, Movement, Glastonbury (her Glastonbury B2B with Romy that went out on BBC Radio 1 featured the premiere of Romy’s remix of ‘Stitches’), Body Movements, helming UNiSON, her community-focussed night in London, as well as a drop in on Glamcult TV to record this intimate version of “Can’t Stand To Lose” plus a remix of Chloé Caillet & Luke Alessi’s “The One ft. Jocelyn Brown,” HAAi won’t be taking her foot off the pedal this autumn. As well as a series of DJ dates which include Portola Festival and Making Time Festival in the US, she has UK in-store performances and signings confirmed for Brighton’s Resident and both Bristol and London’s Rough Trade. Full dates are listed below.

The new album, an immense evolution from her acclaimed debut, reckons with what it is to be human in an increasingly digital world, as AI threatens to eclipse everything and our screens separate us from each other.

HUMANiSE is out on October 10, 2025 via Mute on limited edition clear double gatefold vinyl and limited-edition CD in eco card packaging. Pre-order it HERE.

In all of her work, Teneil has always sought to conquer new frontiers in electronic music and on the new album she’s drilling deeper into the grid. HUMANiSE reckons with what it is to be human in an increasingly digital world, as AI threatens to eclipse everything and our screens separate us from each other. The result is an ambitious and thrilling epic: embodying a sonic step up, exploring the sweet spot between machine-led dystopia and emotion-filled utopia.

“Throughout the album, I kept thinking about a machine with a human heart,” she says. Vocals are front and center, stunningly delicate and giving a newfound dimension to her kinetic productions. “It took a long time to get there, it’s such a vulnerable thing to do,” she continues, “but for this album, it was important for me to allow this ‘human heart’ to be front and center.”

The human heart has another focus on the album: unity and community. HAAi explains, “Even though HUMANiSE is about how the world is starting to change beyond our control, it’s important to keep a sense of togetherness and hope.” These ideas of community and a sense of belonging is of utmost importance, and she has returned to work with friends including Jon Hopkins, Alexis Taylor from Hot Chip, singer Obi Franky, rapper KAM-BU, artist Kaiden Ford, poet James Massiah, who guests on “All That Falls Apart”, and two choirs: TRANS VOICES with choir leader ILĀ and a gospel choir led by Wendi Rose. But this is no clique, the community she surrounds herself with is inclusive, with ample space for the listener on a journey where you are suspended in dreamlike euphoria, drawing the most human part of you to the surface, the part where nothing matters more than family, friends and togetherness.

HUMANiSE is HAAi’s first album release since her acclaimed DJ-Kicks compilation in 2023, which RA described as “a thrillingly eclectic journey through sound, where industrial beats meet warm melodies with finesse.” The compilation, which includes a new version of her collaboration with Jon Hopkins titled “Always Ascending,” came soon after her debut album, Baby, We’re Ascending, which opened up her boundary-pushing blend of psychedelia, techno and powerful beats to new avenues, prompting the likes of Dazed to say, “[HAAi] transcends to new planes of existence on her full-length debut” and NME to praise her “high-flying, vibrant electronic wonderland.” 2023 also saw the release of “Lights Out,” her collaboration with Fred again.. and Romy, a single that solidified HAAi’s place at the forefront of electronic music.

Outside of her own productions, HAAi is known for her dynamic, tempo-shifting DJ sets. In 2024 HAAi played over 100 shows across 5 continents, 30 countries, and 91 cities.She took to the biggest stages at festivals like Glastonbury, Sonar, and EDC Las Vegas, while also delivering sets at local parties including Japan’s Rainbow Disco Club, Berlin’s RSO and Paris’ Iconic Rex Club, where she performed a year-long residency. In-between, HAAi was playing b2b’s with friends like KI/KI, Jennifer Cardini, The Blessed Madonna and Solomun.

2024 also saw the launch of UNiSON, her community focused party that is a platform for HAAi to uplift rising talent while creating an inclusive and boundary-pushing space for club culture.
