TERRITORIES: NORTH & SOUTH AMERICA

Beloved Dundee artist Hannah Laing has had a stratospheric few years. As a DJ, producer and founder of her label, doof, Laing operates under a broad umbrella of techno, trance and hard dance. Everything she does needs to have that doof vibe—big hooks, delirious BPMs, euphoric melodies and earworm vocal riffs. She's consistently leaning into classics of each genre while looking forward and exploring fresh takes on the sound, too. That commitment to honouring the originators while also uplifting burgeoning artists has earned her a widespread, devoted fanbase that embraces young first-time ravers alongside seasoned veterans.

At the time of writing, Laing has 2.8 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone, with 2023's "Good Love" having racked up a whopping 137 million streams, also climbing to #7 on the UK charts. She's a regular on the lineup at some of the world's biggest clubs and festivals—from fabric, The Warehouse Project and Creamfields in the UK to CRSSD, Hideout, Beyond The Valley and Amnesia further afield. In 2025 she'll host her first festival–the sold-out doof In The Park–as well as her first major Ibiza residency, weekly Mondays at Hï, DJ Mag's #1 club in the world. She's also curating a string of intimate label weekenders across the UK, and will put out a three-part EP series, continuing doof's rapid-fire release schedule. One thing's for sure, it's Hannah Laing's time, and we're all along for the ride.
