by New Zealand’s Haan808 continues to set the electronic scene ablaze with a wide-ranging and addictive sound. Exploring the realms UKG comes his latest single on FUXWITHIT titled ‘Dont.’ The track marks Haan’s fifth outing on the label following ‘I Ain’t Playin,’ ‘Star Fire,’ ‘Stay With Me’ and ‘Main Phase.’
‘Don’t’ is a soulful work of art that pulls at your heartstrings while moving your feet. Stirring synths and hauntingly beautiful vocal bends set the stage. The looped and twisted vocal is a mixture of soulful and yearning that will leave you flipping through memories of that special someone like photographs in an old album. The emotional pull is deep but it doesn’t take away from the groove as playful drums inject and undeniable danceablity. Lush atmospherics, immersive low end, and fluttering leads add to the allure. ‘Don’t’ is a tale of two parts as the first remains slightly more subdued. Midway through bouncy synths give way to a stripped echoed vocal that erupts into a bass-driven climax that gives fans what they’ve come to expect from Haan808.
I’ve been making UKG/Garage/House for as long as I’ve been making hip hop/EDM that I’m mainly known for. Just came naturally, what mainly drew me to the genre was simply living in New Zealand. NZ has a huge UK influence of music specially DnB. My goal was just to make something that I enjoy and feel happy first before anyone else. I didn’t focus much on anything else but enjoying the experience of making it. – Haan808
