London-based producer and DJ HAAi, the alias of Australian-born Teneil Throssell, will release her second studio album “HUMANiSE” on 10 October through Mute. The release will be available in limited edition clear double gatefold vinyl and eco-friendly CD packaging.
The announcement comes accompanied by the release of the – excellent – track “Satellite”, featuring Jon Hopkins, lead vocals by Obi Franky, contributions from ILĀ and the TRANS VOICES choir. A visualiser by Dobermann Ltd is available alongside the track.
“’Satellite’ encapsulates everything HUMANiSE stands for,” HAAi says, describing the project as “a thank you to my trans and queer family and our allies.” Obi Franky adds: “We are all satellites and have the power to create a sense of unity […] to give what ultimately a human wants – love.”
The 12-track album includes collaborations with Jon Hopkins, Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip), Obi Franky, KAM-BU, Kaiden Ford, and poet James Massiah. ILĀ leads the TRANS VOICES choir, while a gospel choir led by Wendi Rose appears on multiple tracks.

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
