SOUND

Electric cars? Not in electro-pop! The Australian techno producer Teneil Throssell alias HAAi opens her latest EP Systems Up, Windows Down with old recordings of the starting engine of her father’s Ford Mustang: a reminiscence of her youth, which she says she wasted on senseless cruises through the outback. Later, she began her artistic career in London in a psychedelia band; in Berlin’s Berghain she indulged in the delights of industrial techno. She intermeshes her beats with field recordings, sampled noises, and vocals—acoustically a highly inspired music that never slips off into mere self-referential ambient pulp.
