8 Tracks: For Dreamy Sundays With Haai

 
Music

One of the most interesting newcomers to emerge from London's burgeoning dance music scene is HAAi. The disc jockey come producer amassed a reputation for grinding her teeth on Dalston's Ridley Road behind the decks before being recruited as the latest to host a residency at Phonox. Since then she has moved from strength to strength in a commando fashion, taking the city by storm. 

Most recently she has turned her attention the launch of a new label named similarly to her early party at Ridley Road Market Bar, Coconut Beats. The future looks bright and starry eyed for a girl very much in demand.

See her selections below:

Rupert Clervaux & Beatrice Dillon - Ii

Clerveaux and Dillon’s musical partnership has been a fruitful one. The subtle, repetition and use of tuned percussion in this short track
gives it everything it needs.

  • Francis Bebey : Sangara (1976)

    I love how happy and almost highlife this track is. Bebey always had a knack for making you feel good with his music.

  • The Funkees- Break Through

    Man I played this record to death when I first bought it. One of the best rhythm sections in Nigerian funk in my opinion.

  • Barney Wilen - Zombizar

    This is definitely the most poppy/accessible tune on Wilen’s record “Moshi”, the guy knew how to make some pretty psychedelic
    jazz. I really love the how the baseline repeats and kind of hops along through the whole track. Great Sunday listening.

  • Solomon Ilori & His Afro Drum Ensemble - Igbesi Aiye (Song Of Praise To God)

    Both sides of this record bare some smooth saxophoney jazz. I have opened many a coconut beats party back in the day with this tune.

  • Happy Meals - May You Be The Mother, May You Be The Sun

    This track has an epically noise intro which I love, but once you get to the meat n veg the it really is something else. Hypnotic in both it’s rhythm and melody, this is the kind of tune to close your eyes and lay on the floor to.

  • Benjamin Brunn - On A Return [Kimochi]

    I don’t know all that much about Brunn but this is one dreamy album. Repetitive bursts of arpeggiated synth with a super subtle beat. perfect.

  • Leisure Connection 'Jungle Dancing'

    I’ve been a fan of these guys for some time. One half of Peaking Lights, which comes across in this dub burner.
