HAAi and Echonomist join forces on new track, "Ignition"
HAAi has released "Ignition" featuring electronic artist Echonomist, the latest single from her upcoming album, DIGITiSE.
"Ignition" follows lead single and title track "DIGITiSE", which features producer and songwriter Pat Alvarez.“‘Ignition’ is a collaboration with Echonomist, someone whose music has shaped many of my sets since I started touring," HAAi — the moniker of Teneil Throssell — explains. "Sonically, it’s a driving broken beat track that maintains a lot of innocence. Lyrically, it is deeply personal: documenting my coming-of-age as a queer kid in a small town, desperate to leave."
In the true spirit of DIGITiSE, ‘Ignition’ serves as a sequel to ‘Go!’, from my previous album HUMANiSE," she continues. "Both tracks are so important to the storytelling of the albums, I’m glad to be able to take it to the place we feel the most free, the dance floor.”
"From the moment HAAi and I started talking, we connected through music in a really genuine way," Echonomist adds. "It didn’t take long to realize we shared a similar musical language, and that made this collaboration feel incredibly natural. She reminded me of how much I love breaks, and that inspiration became the starting point."
DIGITiSE is released on 9 October via Mute
