Hannah Laing Unveils Touching New Single ‘Have You Ever Loved (Ellie)’

      A tribute to her closest friend...

      Scottish DJ and producer Hannah Laing has released the heartfelt single ‘Have You Ever Loved (Ellie)’.

      Originally from Dundee, she has risen from modest beginnings to make her mark on the dance music scene, transitioning from her previous role as a dental nurse to becoming a resident DJ at Hï Ibiza, in addition to performing at major festivals.

      While hosting her sold-out hometown festival Doof In The Park for 15,000 attendees, Hannah continues to stay connected to her beginnings.

      Earlier this year, she experienced the loss of a dear friend, and in an effort to process her grief, Hannah returned to the studio. ‘Have You Ever Loved (Ellie)’ serves as an emotional tribute to a beloved confidant, featuring a beautiful vocal performance by Hannah Boleyn.

      Demonstrating a different facet of her artistry, ‘Have You Ever Loved (Ellie)’ allows Hannah Laing to showcase the more personal aspect beneath her club star persona.

      She shares…

      “I’m releasing this song to honor my lifelong best friend, whom I tragically lost in July. There’s no way to prepare for such a loss. I miss her more than words can convey. Hannah Boleyn delivered the vocals so beautifully. Trance has always been where I started, and although I enjoy exploring various genres, nothing evokes emotion or resonates with me like trance does.”

Nas and DJ Premier Announce New Album ‘Light-Years’

Nas and DJ Premier are set to launch their highly anticipated collaborative album 'Light-Years' next month. The rapper from Queens is recognized as one of the defining artists.

Apparat will launch his new album ‘A Hum Of Maybe’ on February 20th.

The German producer's previous album, ‘LP5’, was released in 2019. However, thereafter, he faced an unusual challenge – as a previously prolific artist, Apparat encountered a significant bout of writer’s block.

His attempts to overcome this left him fragmented, with Apparat – whose real name is Sacha Ring – finding it difficult to finish anything.

When 2025 arrived, he decided to try a new approach – Apparat promised himself to generate a song idea every day, liberating himself from self-imposed pressure and the fear of criticism. He took these ideas into the studio, where his new album ‘A Hum Of Maybe’ was shaped earlier this year over a three-month period.

Scheduled for release on February 20th – available for pre-order now – the album will be offered on limited edition double turquoise vinyl, double vinyl, CD, and in digital format.

A deeply personal project, the recording sessions included contributions from several close friends as guest musicians. Philipp Johann Thimm co-wrote and co-produced the album, while Armenian-American vocalist KÁRYYN appears on ‘Tilth’, and Berlin-and Rome-based artist Jan-Philipp Lorenz (aka Bi Disc) features on ‘Pieces, Falling’.

In addition to the release, Apparat has assembled a complete live band to perform several headline shows in 2026, including a performance at the London venue HERE At Outernet on February 3rd.

The new track ‘An Echo Skips A Name’ is now available – it is introspective, emotive, and rich in lyrical detail, which you can listen to below.
