We are pleased to welcome Warren Harris aka Hanna for the Short Attention Mix 048. Even though this live set runs just 25 minutes, it is packed with energy and feeling. Short, direct, and special — a snapshot of Hanna’s sound in the moment.

His music blends deep house, techno, and drum ’n’ bass with strong jazz influences, often using live instruments like guitar, bass, flute, and keys. Over the years he has released albums such as Severance, Scarlet Manifesto, Amen, and Contemplating Jazz, as well as many singles and EPs. He also teamed up with Dan Curtin under the project Key of Soul. Hanna is known for his deep, soulful, and textured sound that goes beyond standard dance-floor formulas.

In Warren Harris words:

"Blijvend means to continue or continuum or everlasting (the language Vlaams or Flemish)


Blijvend is actually a song that I made in real-time in my studio, even played live it cannot be re-created or played the same way twice.

I created an ambient loop of music that is swimming or floating out of one sampler (acting as turntable 1) 120 BPM

I created drum motifs on another machine (acting as turntable 2) 130 BPM

I dj'd the motifs randomly in real-time while the loop is floating or swimming (of course I am filtering and performing this all in real-time)

The drums are not synced to the swimming loop...ever
It's a one-time moment in time experience I captured


Here is the Tracklist of Blijvend although it is one track, the list names the different emotions as the drums change motifs. The titles are also in Vlaams"

Blijvend
1. Mooi
2. Spraakzaam - 4:57
3. Zelfverzekerd - 7:47
4. Opwindend - 10:07
5. Vreemd - 14:18
6. Inschikkelijik - 18:27
7. Bezorgd - 23:40
