Boston, Lincolnshire, UK — International DJ and producer Hakan, host of the Best DJ Podcast and founder of the rising label Best DJ, has just released a brand-new single: “Saudade”. This track marks a deeply personal milestone in his career — a heartfelt dedication to the Portuguese community that shaped part of his musical journey.

Hakan spent many years in the Portuguese community of Boston, Lincolnshire, where he was welcomed with open arms. From lively parties to unforgettable nights behind the decks, he witnessed firsthand the beauty of Kizomba, a genre born in Angola and carried proudly through Lusophone culture.
“The first time I heard a Kizomba song and watched couples dancing,” Hakan recalls, “I fell in love instantly. It wasn’t just music — it was connection, soul, and emotion. From that moment, I made an oath to myself: one day, I would create a Kizomba track.”
That promise has now come alive with “Saudade”. Blending Portuguese and Turkish lyrics, the song is a bridge between cultures, celebrating love, memory, and longing — the very essence of the word saudade. With its smooth rhythm and romantic energy, the track is destined to become a wedding favorite, perfect for couples to share a first dance or celebrate love on the dancefloor.
“Saudade” is not only a song; it’s a story — of heritage, community, and passion. It showcases Hakan’s commitment to diversity in music, drawing inspiration from every culture he’s touched, while staying true to his roots as a DJ who lives to connect people through sound.
🎶 “Saudade” by Hakan is available on all major streaming platforms from the September 13th of this month
