HAAi, the London-based, Australian-born producer, songwriter and DJ also known as Teneil Throssell, shares “Ignition” featuring Echonomist. The track is the third song on her album “DIGITiSE,” out 9 October 2026 on Mute on vinyl, CD and digitally.
‘Ignition’: video and track details
An official video accompanies the release:
HAAi describes the collaboration: “‘Ignition’ is a collaboration with Echonomist, someone whose music has shaped many of my sets since I started touring. 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. 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.”
Echonomist adds: “From the moment HAAi and I started talking, we connected through music in a really genuine way. 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” carries the ten-track “RE-HUMANiSE,” “Printerlude,” “Ignition,” “Depth Perception,” “DIGITiSE,” “Technology,” “HUMANiSE Radio,” “THANK U,” “I Wanna Feel Like Someone” and “Talking Walls.” The album also features Skybreak, Cantoalegre (a children’s choir from Medellín, Colombia), Pat Alvarez, ILA, James Messiah and Kaiden Ford.
