We Alive: How a Barefoot Walk Through Bridlington Inspired a Celebration of Life

Best DJ Podcast, New Music Feature

Sometimes inspiration arrives when you least expect it.

For Hakan, a recent visit to Bridlington to spend time with an old friend became much more than a catch-up. Walking barefoot through the town and along the beach, surrounded by the atmosphere of the seaside, the open air and the natural world, sparked an idea, a song about something we all share, yet can so easily take for granted: the gift of being alive.

That moment became “We Alive.”

Scheduled for release on Sunday, 23 August 2026, the track is a celebration of existence, freedom and the world around us. Rather than focusing on the complications of everyday life, We Alive invites listeners to pause for a moment, look around and appreciate the simple fact that we are here.

From Bridlington to the Sound of Celebration

There is something uniquely powerful about being beside the sea. The sound of the waves, the feeling of sand beneath your feet and the sense of space stretching towards the horizon can put everyday worries into perspective.

For Hakan that experience helped unlock the creative idea behind We Alive.

The barefoot walk became symbolic, a return to something simple and natural. No distractions, no barriers, just the feeling of moving through the world and experiencing it directly.

From that experience came a musical message:

We are here. We are alive. And that alone is something worth celebrating.

A Song About Life — And Everything Around Us

We Alive is more than simply a new release. At its heart, the song is an invitation to appreciate life in all its forms.

It celebrates the people we meet, the places we experience, the natural world surrounding us and those spontaneous moments that can unexpectedly inspire creativity.

The story behind the track is a reminder that songs don’t always begin in studios. Sometimes they begin with a walk, a conversation, a memory, a view of the sea, or simply the feeling of being present in the moment.

Arriving 23 August

With We Alive set for release on Sunday, 23 August 2026, listeners will soon have the opportunity to experience the musical expression of that Bridlington, inspired moment.

For Best DJ Podcast, it’s a story that captures one of the most exciting things about music: inspiration can come from anywhere.

One ordinary visit.  

One old friendship.  

One barefoot walk beside the sea.  

One idea.

And from it came “We Alive.”

Release date: Sunday, 23 August 2026

So wherever you are when the track arrives, take a moment, turn up the music, look around you and remember the message at the heart of the song: We Alive 

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.
