HAAi Connects Community and Club Culture on New Album DIGITiSE

HAAi has released a new album via MUTE and shares new video. Photo: Lamia Karic, used with permission.

HAAi Drops Dancefloor-Focused New Album DIGITiSE

London-based, Australian-born producer, songwriter, and DJ HAAi is back with DIGITiSE, a high-energy, dancefloor-focused ode to community and connection. Out now via Mute on vinyl, CD, and digital formats, the new release serves as the “bigger, ravey sibling” to her critically acclaimed 2025 album, HUMANiSE. (Magnum PR, 2026)

As HAAi puts it best:

“DIGITiSE holds the hand of HUMANiSE and walks it to the club.”

Inside DIGITiSE: Sound, Vision, and Community

Picking up right where its predecessor left off, DIGITiSE bridges the gap: the final track of HUMANiSE fades out with a choir, which immediately picks up on the opening moments of DIGITiSE before diving straight into heavy club grooves.

The album was built to be tested live. HAAi spent months weaving elements of the record into her DJ sets, including intimate headline shows at the Courtyard Theatre and a stunning performance at the Royal Albert Hall, allowing her to refine breakdowns, tighten grooves, and gauge real-time dancefloor reactions.

Key Highlights & Collaborators

  • ‘Talking Walls’ (feat. Cantoalegre & Skybreak): A sonic journey blending HAAi and Skybreak’s electronic worlds alongside the Cantoalegre Colombian children’s choir (from Medellín), echoing the deeply emotional choral threads of her previous work.
  • All-Star Roster: The album expands HAAi’s creative community, welcoming new collaborators like Echonomist, Skybreak, and Cantoalegre, alongside returning artists Pat Alvarez, ILA, James Massiah, and Kaiden Ford.
  • Visuals & World-Building: Director Martin Falck spearheaded the album’s striking visual world. He’s known for his work with Fever Ray, The Knife, and Icona Pop, offering a playful, camp counterbalance to the dystopian themes of HUMANiSE.

Exploring Humanity in a Digital Age

At its core, DIGITiSE continues HAAi’s exploration of what it means to remain human in an increasingly digitized world. With the relentless pace of AI and technology driving modern divisions, HAAi’s ultimate antidote has always been gathering people together in a shared room to feel unity and community.

From the diverse voices in dance music featured on the record to the live production and lighting teams, including lighting engineer Belinda Best, the entire project invites listeners into a vivid, welcoming space.

Catch HAAi Live: Tour Dates & Upcoming Shows

HAAi is taking DIGITiSE on the road with an action-packed schedule:

  • October 31: London, UK – EartH (All-night open-to-close set with production and set design by Playbody)
  • November 27: Los Angeles, CA – Time Warp
  • November 28: San Francisco, CA – The Great Northern
  • December 3: Miami, FL – Art Basel / The Ground (b2b with Salute, Raw Cuts)
  • 2027: An upcoming Australian tour alongside The Avalanches

(These upcoming dates follow a massive festival run that included 100% production sets at Maiden Voyage, World Pride Amsterdam, and WeCanDance, as well as being named Beatport’s Artist of the Month over the summer).

About HAAi

Born Teneil Laetitia Throssell in Karratha, Western Australia, HAAi initially began her musical career in rock bands before moving to the UK as part of the psychedelic rock duo Dark Bells.

Following the band’s split, she transitioned into DJing, quickly securing a coveted two-year residency at London’s Phonox starting in late 2016. Her profile skyrocketed after winning BBC Radio 1’s Essential Mix of the Year in 2018. Since then, she has released her debut EP Systems Up, Windows Down (2019) and her debut full-length album Baby, We’re Ascending (2022), alongside high-profile collaborations with electronic heavyweights like Fred again.. and Jon Hopkins.

Grab your copy of DIGITiSE on vinyl, CD, or digital platforms via Mute today, and catch her on the dancefloor near you.

Beyond his activism, Belafonte brought African music to global audiences, winning a GRAMMY Award alongside Miriam Makeba for their 1965 album An Evening with Belafonte and Makeba.

Clark Paterson Explores Heartache and Humor in ‘Are You Lonely Like Me?’

‘Are You Lonely Like Me’ is Clark Paterson’s newest album. Photo: Broken Jukebox Media, used with permission.

New Album Alert: Are You Lonely Like Me? by Clark Paterson

Genre: Country | Folk | Americana

Listen/Buy: Are You Lonely Like Me?

Nashville-based singer-songwriter Clark Paterson returns with his deeply evocative new album, Are You Lonely Like Me? – a record shaped by hard years, dark humor, and the stubborn decision to keep moving forward anyway. (Broken Jukebox Media, 2026)

Written through heartbreak, illness, fatherhood, loss, recovery, and reinvention, the album feels profoundly lived-in. It is the sound of someone taking inventory of a life while still standing right in the middle of it. There’s loneliness here, but also resilience, warmth, and the crooked grin of somebody who’s survived enough to stop romanticizing the struggle.

Sound & Production

Produced by Eric McConnell and Shawn Byrne, the record leans into an aesthetic that feels timeless without becoming overly polished or trapped in nostalgia.

The production is cinematic and atmospheric, lush yet restrained, and loose in all the right places, with the kind of texture and imperfection that makes a record feel human. Old-school country soul collides with folk storytelling and flashes of punk spirit, creating a sound equally at home in:

  • A worn-in dive bar
  • An empty stretch of highway
  • A half-lit movie scene at closing time

The Songwriting

Written alongside longtime collaborator Mark Cline Bates, the songs explore memory, mortality, love, isolation, aging, and the uneasy comedy of being alive long enough to watch life humble you a few times.

Paterson possesses a rare ability to deliver hard truths without turning sentimental, balancing grit with tenderness and self-awareness with sharp wit. The humor never undercuts the emotion, it deepens it.

At the heart of the record is the title track ‘Are You Lonely Like Me?,’ an aching, beautiful song that quietly asks the question hanging over the entire album: not just whether we’re lonely, but whether we’re still capable of reaching each other through all the noise, damage, history, and hope we carry around.

Ghost Light Movie Review: Mystery and Conspiracies Behind the Curtain

Movie Review: Ghost Light Delivers Theatrical Suspense

| Genre: Thriller, Mystery, Crime

One Tree Entertainment unveils Ghost Light, a gripping new feature that blends supernatural unease with a razor‑sharp crime mystery, unfolding between the courtroom and the dim corridors of a historic theater. Recently released on September 29, it’s available on digital and on demand – Rent/Buy on Amazon Prime Video. (One Tree Entertainment, 2026)

Movie Overview & Details

  • Synopsis: After her playwright husband Thomas passes away, actress Marion Neal finds herself involved in a lawsuit over the playhouse where she works and resides. As strange occurrences begin to take place, the hidden truth emerges regarding an intricate web of interwoven conspiracies and villainous agendas involving the attorneys, her loved ones, and the theater troupe.
  • Written & Directed By: Amir Faress
  • Starring:
    • Lisa Blake Richards (Rolling Thunder)
    • Cindy Dolenc (La Femme Nikita, The River Murders)
    • Laur Allen (The Young and the Restless, The Vigilante, Christmas at the Ranch)
  • Rating: PG-13
  • Runtime: 1 hr. 22 min

Review

If you think theater drama is strictly reserved for what happens on stage, think again. The psychological thriller Ghost Light turns a simple real estate dispute into a dark, twisty web of tension that will keep you guessing until the final curtain call.

The film stars veteran actress Marion Neal as a woman involved in a bitter lawsuit over the rights to her beloved playhouse, Necromancy Theatre. The Fisher brothers are suing her to force a sale of the playhouse and are trying to collect on years of back rent since the Neals never paid rent on the apartment above the theater. At the center of the suit is a document they signed stating the Neals could live rent-free in exchange for Nathan forgiving the millions embezzled from the company.

As the pressure mounts, Marion must navigate a world where trust becomes increasingly difficult and appearances can be dangerously misleading. Her struggle is not simply about protecting a theater; it becomes a fight to uncover the truth and stand against those determined to manipulate the situation for their own benefit. The narrative takes a surprising twist when Marion collapses on stage on opening night of her play ‘Séance,’ and that’s when the unraveling truly begins.

Character Spotlight: Marion Neal’s Fierce Resilience

Marion Neal is an incredible heroine: fiercely protective, emotionally vulnerable, but above all, relentlessly sharp. Her bond with the playhouse isn’t just about property, it’s her identity and legacy. As shadowy figures pull the strings behind the scenes, watching Marion navigate her transition from poised artist to investigator makes for a grounded emotional anchor.

Themes: Illusion, Power, and the “Ghost Light”

Ghost Light shines brightest in its thematic depth:

  • Illusion vs. Reality: The film consistently blurs the line between theatrical performance and actual deception.
  • Power & Corruption: It exposes how greedy people manipulate narratives to strip creators of their autonomy.
  • The Ghost Light Motif: The solitary bulb left on an empty stage at the end becomes a haunting symbol of lingering hope and truths that refuse to stay buried.

The Verdict

Packed with atmospheric tension and clever plotting, Ghost Light is a suspenseful tribute to the dark heart of the theater world. Its theatrical setting gives the story a distinctive atmosphere, while Marion’s fight for justice provides an emotional anchor. For fans of conspiracy-driven dramas, this film promises an unsettling journey into the shadows where ambition and deception collide.

“May the ghost light never falter and ward off all spirits.”

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Built around themes of vulnerability, reassurance, and quiet resilience, the song looks past the need for perfect words to explore the profound impact of simply being there for someone during life’s most overwhelming moments.

Gentle yet deeply affecting, “Edge of Calm” captures the healing power of true companionship—reminding listeners that sometimes the greatest act of love is staying by someone’s side through uncertainty.

“Edge” symbolizes anticipation and complete immersion, while “Calm” embodies emotional balance and clarity. Together, the two halves create a visual and sonic identity that mirrors the record’s emotional arc.

Inside the Album

The 11-track album offers a rich journey across genres and emotional landscapes, highlighting Tiffany’s signature versatility as an artist.

Key Highlights:

  • Featured Tracks: Includes the hit single “Summer’s Not Over” (and its Korean version), released earlier this year in honor of the 10th anniversary of Tiffany’s solo debut.
  • Impressionable Numbers: The “Summer’s Not Over” music video has already surpassed 1.8 million YouTube views, with over 487,000 Spotify streams.
