The Song I Wrote While Standing Still

A new year always feels like a quiet reset—a moment to look forward without rushing to erase what came before.

As we step into this year, I’m starting it with something honest.

“Single” is our first release of the year, and it represents clarity, values, and the strength found in standing on your own.

This song isn’t about absence—it’s about presence.

About knowing yourself, protecting your peace, and choosing authenticity as the year begins.

Here’s to new music, new intentions, and moving forward without losing who we are.

I’ve been single for the past ten years.

That sentence often invites assumptions—loneliness, waiting, something missing. But the truth is quieter and far more intentional.

Being single taught me about values. About patience. About the kind of love I wasn’t willing to trade my integrity for. Over time, I realised that being alone doesn’t mean being empty—it can mean being aligned. It can mean choosing growth when distraction would be easier.

This song came from that space.

It isn’t about heartbreak or loss. It’s about self-respect. About learning to sit with yourself long enough to know what matters, and having the strength to honour that—even when no one else is there to validate it.

I chose a female vocal deliberately. Her voice carried the emotional weight I wanted to express without force. There’s a natural honesty in it—soft, but unafraid. It allowed the song to speak from a place of clarity rather than defence, vulnerability without weakness.

For me, this track represents the quiet power of staying true to yourself. The moments where you could compromise, settle, or rush—but don’t. The moments where you choose depth over noise, and meaning over immediacy.

This song is for anyone who has learned that being whole comes before being chosen.

For anyone who understands that sometimes, the most important relationship you build is the one with yourself.

I’m Hakan

“Hakan”– The Mind Behind the Beat”

in a world driven by rhythm, one man’s journey stands out—not for the fame, but for the soul behind the sound. Hakan began as a teenage DJ in Turkiye, not with expensive gear or big crowds, but with a passion that couldn’t be taught. He spent hours learning the craft—on cassettes, old mixers, and borrowed records—chasing a deeper connection with music.When he moved to the UK, the clubs were larger, the nights longer, but Hakan’s mission never changed: move hearts, not just feet.

For him, DJing wasn’t about ego or hype. It was about energy, emotion, and elevation. That’s why he wrote Best DJ: DJ’s Guide to Music, Mindset and Mastery—a book for dreamers, creators, and sound warriors. It’s not just a guide to mixing—it’s a philosophy of rhythm, resilience, and self-discovery.

The true DJ isn’t just someone who plays tracks… but someone who creates moments. Because music fades. But a feeling? A memory? That can last forever.He now is the head of the Best DJ Podcast, bringing you all his experiences uncensored raw and honest 

This is more than music. This is mastery.
