39LAB021 / Hannd

London-based producer Hannd channels an ambient soundscape weaving through different moods and feelings, resulting in a wonderful thought provoking journey.

What’s your ideal breakfast?
Ideal: Good ol' English fry up with a bit of spice; Eggs, beans, potato pancake/hashbrown, merguez sausage, black pudding, sourdough toast, mushrooms, tomato.

What was the first record (or CD) you ever bought?
First record = Four Tet 'Rounds' + Burial 'Archangel'
First CD's (not proud of this) = Hoobastank 'Reason' + Keane 'Hopes And Fears'

What’s your unexpected musical indulgence?
I still find myself listening to old screamo / emo bands like Alexisonfire, Bury Tomorrow, Of Mice & Men, it's like overly aggressive, softboi nostalgia and I'm 100% guilty about it.

Does your alias have a backstory?
I used to have the alias Han Dopkins, which is just a simple swapping of letters in my birth name. When I started to make darker or heavier music I wanted something a bit shorter and punchier, so Han Dopkins became Hannd.

What’s the best thing you’ve ever got for free?
I would say education

What would your autobiography be called?
Hannd: How chronic overthinking became chronic over creating of new musical projects and ventures.

Do you have a party trick?
I can attend and leave a party without anyone knowing I was there.

What’s your current rotation of non-dance music?
A band called plantoid are dope, psych-jazz-rock vibes! Enjoying a lot of Japanese ambient music, artists such as Susumu Yokota, Chihei Hatakeyama, H.Takahashi, love their tones, moods and subtle melodies. The a.s.o. and Acopia album's that came out last year, still not bored of them. I'm re-discovering my love of Emiliana Torrini's 'Me and Armini' album from 2008 too.

Any other passions besides music?
I'm very passionate about mental health awareness with a leaning towards addiction and suicide, something very personal to me and want to help out where I can towards those causes. I'm also an avid reader of books, I've found my love for reading each year as social media becomes more and more consuming of everyone's lives and screen usage, in general, is just way over the top, I found sanctuary and escapism through books and exercising imagination through creative, fantastical writing to be way more calming and enjoyable for my brain.

Describe your Earworm mix
Kicking off 2024 I found it quite challenging, the winter blues in full effect with my first winter living in Central London following a move here from Bristol. I found little joy in going out to parties or events, thumping prog was getting a bit taxing and I needed a break from it all. This mix for Earworm is an experiment really, I wanted to find a voice for myself within the more ambient and beatless genres, playing around with the idea of 'ebbs and flows' within tones and moods rather than tempo changes and driving frog wobs. This mix explores quietness to create emotional impact in a mix, contrasted with some loud shifts and epic builds. It was really fun to put together and there are some teases of beats in there too.

earworm033 ~ Hannd - 'Headfog Mood Life'

Seeing summer out in true style we have London born and based Hannd. Label head honcho at Comma Traxx along alongside co-running ‘Down to Earth’ in Bristol, Hannd is actively exploring the realm between realms within the Progressive House, Techno & Trance scene. 

With numerous production releases and an appetite for secret weapons, we are proud to announce Sassamix Vol.10. Whatever you’re doing, prepare to drift, far, far, far away.

SASSAMIX VOL.10 // HANND

Our next mix is from London based Comma Traxx label boss Hannd (aka Dan). Not constrained by genres, Dan skilfully moves through minimal, tech house, progressive house, techno, psytrance - you name it. The outcome is a lovely example of how to blend genres to create a cohesive sound - two hours of deep, rolling rhythms - enjoy :)

A few words from Remotif on this mix:
*
"For various reasons, I took a big retreat from the world of electronic music this summer. Every time I tried to listen to 'club' music my brain would just switch off, and I instead I found myself gravitating towards a steady diet of ambient, video game soundtracks, and podcasts. It was quite an insular period in my life as well; I was signed off from work on sick leave, so I didn't do any festivals or clubs, and I didn't do any DJing or music production either.
 
In retrospect, this time away was super necessary for me to get the passion back; my brain has done a huge musical reset and I'm totally obsessed again (thank god!). For now, I've emerged from my trance wormhole and and have found myself leaning  back towards the strains of electronic that I originally got into as a teenager; weighty soundsystem tracks with attitude, with an emphasis on low-end and drums. It's less melodic and more groove-driven; heads-down, not hands-up. 

I'm super happy with how this comes through in the mix, hopefully you enjoy it too!"
