Hannah Wants @ CC Revelin

When Wants made the bold decision to retire from competitive football at age 23, it wasn’t to step into a quiet life. She traded the discipline of the stadium for the electric energy of the DJ booth, channeling the same athletic intensity into vinyl mixing and digital production.

Her defining turning point came during a summer season in Ibiza in 2010. Immersing herself in the island’s underground music scene, she perfected the art of low-end frequencies and dynamic double-drops—elements that would soon define her signature bass-heavy house and tech-house sound.

In more recent years, Wants has evolved her sound further, pairing heavy basslines with deep emotional resonance on powerhouse house labels like Defected Records. Hits like “Cure My Desire” (featuring Clementine Douglas) demonstrate an artist who continues to refine her craft without losing the raw energy that propelled her onto the world stage
