Haai – “DJ-Kicks” (Released 10th November 2023)

Description

//!K7 Records//

£25.99 – 2xLP

London-based, Australian-born Teneil Throssell, aka Haai, is known for a strain of sonic psychedelia that metabolises precise sound design, melodic techno, electronic pop and thundering beats.

Following the release of her acclaimed 2022 album, baby, we’re ascending, Haai has reached what she calls “another career milestone” – an invitation to steer the next edition of !K7 records’ acclaimed DJ-Kicks series. Haai approached this mix with two concurrent goals: to continue to iterate on her artistic theme – which she named ‘always ascending’ – and to highlight her flair for hyperkinesis and drama behind the decks, which she achieves with bpm left-turns, endless upwards tilts and sharp accelerations, liminal transitions and moments of pure euphoria. within the sweeping journey she moves through an expansive selection of heritage classics, future-facing artists, friends, heroes, and voices from close-knit communities, alongside a number of her own exclusive productions.
