Addictive drumplay, sunbaked grooves and UK funky fusionism from @Haganuk

A fusionist known for intense bass and intricate drumplay, DJ and producer Hagan has built a name for himself blending the sounds of UK funky and garage with those connected to his Ghanaian heritage, from hiplife to gospel. He tells Tice Cin about his early inspirations and lifelong obsession with percussion, which he captures perfectly in his Recognise mix

Raw emotion: @HaganUK's gritty low-end bass is a personal homage to loved ones

"This is the first mix where I’m playing tracks outside of the singles [from the album]. So it was created with the idea of introducing the album tracks as part of my regular set rotation. The mix also replicates the journey I attempt to take people on [with my music]. I’ve tried to create an intro that’s welcoming. As you listen further the mood proceeds to darken and the basslines are heavier. You also hear different versions of the album tracks such as acapellas or instrumentals."
