HAAi shares new single, ‘Ignition (feat Echonomist)’: Listen
“Lyrically, it is deeply personal: documenting my coming-of-age as a queer kid in a small town, desperate to leave”
HAAi has released the second single off her upcoming album , ‘DIGITiSE’. Listen to ‘Ignition’, featuring Echonomist, below.
Describing the breaks-heavy track in a press statement, the Hackney-based Australian artist said: “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.
She also highlighted Echonomist’s influence, saying the Greek producer’s “music has shaped many of my sets since I started touring.”
Echonomist added: “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.”
Set for release on 9th October via Mute, ‘DIGITiSE’ marks HAAi’s third album, following 2025’s HUMANiSE ’ and 2022’s ‘Baby, We're Ascending’.
