HÖR x Tresor 30 - Jensen Interceptor

There's a track on HAAi's upcoming debut album, Baby, We're Ascending, called "Louder Always Better." That kind of sums up her approach right there. (See also: "Biggest Mood Ever.") Since her first record, 2017's "Be Good" her approach to dance music has been to make as dense, overwhelming and uplifting as possible. Much has been made of her background in psychedelic rock, which definitely informs records like the muggy, intense Motorik Voodoo Bush Doof Musik, but it's not the whole story. A better point of reference might be DJ Harvey lost in the Australian desert, but comparisons are beside the point. At this point, HAAi is completely unique.

The Australian producer has made quite a name for herself as a DJ in her adopted hometown of London, and while her album shoots off in all directions—from ecstatic rave-pop to sultry stunners—her RA Podcast captures the spark that makes her such a beloved force behind the decks. Weaving powerful techno from artists like Atrip and Piska Power with weirder, adventurous music courtesy of Cocktail Party Effect and Sha Sha Kimbo—plus a few tastes of HAAi's new album—it's an eclectic mix that's as windy and unpredictable as her records. Plus, it ends with classic track by The Cure. That's just good taste.

Lunchbox Candy - The Ket Gala 24' Closing

We touched down in Bogotá as part of Boiler Room x Ballantine’s True Music Studios with a line up showcasing the city’s vibrant underground scene. Mixing local sounds such as guaracha, cumbia and joropo crash with techno, breaks and bass, this edition was curated by one of the city’s most celebrated exports: Bitter Babe.

@djfuckoff gets down and dirty in a sultry new mix, packed with bass anthems and summer slammers.

"In this mix, I'm channeling bassy summertime dancefloor energy. I've been to some epic soundsystem events the past few months, as well as hanging in the dark corners of the club! I got all that going on in this hour – full Fuckoff style."

The Mix 069: DJ Fuckoff

From speed garage to Arabic pop, one hour of borderless club energy from the Saudi DJ and curator. 

"We're making history tonight," hollered the MC at the start of Nooriyah's London Boiler Room in 2022. Sat next to the decks was her <i>baba</i> (Arabic for father), dressed in traditional Saudi garb. He opened the one-hour performance by playing the oud, a Middle Eastern instrument similar to a lute. Surrounded by smiling faces and pumping arms, it's a picture of joy.

The set was a turning point—and not just for Nooriyah's career. Scroll through the comments on YouTube and you'll find notes of endearment, gratitude and teary appreciation, proof of how powerful it was for people to see Middle Eastern music placed at the centre of contemporary club culture. 

This speaks to Nooriyah's MO. Born in Saudi Arabia, raised in Japan and now based in the UK, her musical vision reflects her global upbringing. But her style isn't eclecticism for eclecticism's sake—she's spoken about the importance of carving out space for underrepresented voices in dance music. 

Her RA Mix makes that mission audible. The result is a breathless hour: 47 tracks darting between speed garage, amapiano, Jersey club, Arabic pop edits and percussion-heavy workouts from Cairo to Accra. But don't mistake pace for carelessness: RA.1002 never feels rushed. Each switch is considered, revealing a knowledge of how global dance traditions can speak to one another. 

All in all, it's not only a celebration of her own heritage, but an invitation to imagine dance floors unconstrained by borders.
