Her first release, a remix by Larry Heard, paved the way for collaborations with top labels like Defected, MoBlack, and Distance. Ms Hanna Hais  performed in several African countries throughout her career and how it became part of her musical journey 

Taking a closer look at Sitting Bull, it is composed, arranged, and produced by Hanna Haïs, was recorded in France and mixed and mastered in Greece by George Deligiannis. The track combines hip hop-inspired vocal samples with rhythmic AfroTech elements, including an arpeggiator layered over driving beats and a deep bassline.

“I found some vocal samples which were a bit different from what I usually use, these vocals had a hip-hop vibe, sort of Drake-like and started working”.

The track’s creation started with the discovery of vocal samples with a distinct hip-hop vibe, described by Hanna Haïsas reminiscent of artists like Drake and Kanye West. These samples set the tone for the production, which came together quickly using Ableton Live and samples from Loopcloud. Hanna Haïs highlights the energy of the track’s post-break section as a standout moment.

As a DJ and producer, she has performed at venues and festivals around the globe, with her music supported by industry heavyweights like Black Coffee, Caiirosa, Joseph Capriati, Loco Dice, Ghedion Behonegne, Jamiie, DJ Gregory, Louie Vega, Laurent Garnier and many others
