Hannah Laing’s connection to Creamfields started as a festivalgoer, not an artist. She first attended in 2012, then kept returning and camping with friends while building her name in Scotland. By 2019, she had crossed from the crowd onto the festival lineup for the first time. She already knew Creamfields from years of attending, which made that first booking personal in a completely different way.

The bigger turning point came in 2022, when she opened Patrick Topping’s Trick stage. Hannah Laing has spoken about worrying that an early slot might mean an empty stage. Instead, the crowd quickly grew into the thousands, with many travelling down from Scotland to see her. She was still balancing DJing and producing with her job as a dental nurse. Seeing that level of support at one of the UK’s biggest dance festivals showed how far her audience had grown.

The years since have changed where Hannah Laing now stands as an artist, but Creamfields has remained part of several important points in her career. Her 2027 APEX appearance brings that history back to the festival she once attended and camped at with friends. This time, she returns during its 30th anniversary edition.

How Far Hannah Laing Has Come Since 2022

Since that Creamfields breakthrough, Hannah Laing has gone from balancing DJing with her dental nursing job to touring full time. Her international profile has grown considerably along the way. Her music has also become more closely linked with the harder side of dance music, drawing from hard house, trance and techno. That fast-paced sound first helped her gain a following in Scotland and has continued through her more recent releases and sets.

Doof And Her Growing International Career

A major part of that growth has come through Doof, the brand she launched around her own events and releases. Doof In The Park has since become one of the strongest examples of how far her audience now reaches beyond club shows. Her touring schedule has grown alongside it, with appearances at Tomorrowland, EDC Las Vegas, TRNSMT, Parklife and BBC Radio 1 Dance Weekend.

Tracks such as “Good Love” with RoRo have also introduced Hannah Laing to a much wider audience. The track became one of her biggest crossover moments and added another major step to a career already growing quickly through live shows. Since then, she has continued releasing music while taking on bigger festival bookings in the UK and overseas.

With Creamfields 2027 still ahead, Hannah Laing’s booking stands out as one of the more personal announcements tied to the anniversary edition. The festival has followed different stages of her career for 15 years, from attending as a raver to playing APEX as an English festival exclusive.

The Artists Joining STMPD RCRDS at ADE

Across the lineup, some of STMPD RCRDS’ longest-running collaborators are returning alongside artists who have become more closely associated with the label in recent years. DubVision, Julian Jordan, Matisse & Sadko, Mesto and Justin Mylo have each released music through STMPD. They have also worked repeatedly within the wider Martin Garrix circle, making their inclusion closely tied to the label’s first decade. Third Party brings its progressive house sound to the event, while R3HAB adds another major Dutch name.

That mix continues with Merow, Vluarr, Lavern, Curbi, Citadelle, Nova Blue, Nome. and Skytech. Their music covers everything from progressive and electro house to newer club-focused releases that have become part of STMPD’s recent catalogue. The selection keeps the anniversary from focusing only on familiar names from the label’s earlier years, while maintaining those long-term connections at its centre. The poster also confirms more artists will join the lineup ahead of the AFAS Live show.

Ten Years of STMPD RCRDS Lead Back to Amsterdam

Since Martin Garrix founded STMPD RCRDS in 2016, the label has grown far beyond a home for his own releases. Over the past decade, it has worked with an expanding group of producers and established a presence at major festivals worldwide. Its own stages have appeared at Tomorrowland, Ultra, Sziget and Lollapalooza. Through years of releases, collaborations and international events, STMPD has developed from a new independent label into a recurring name across the global electronic dance music scene. ADE

The 10-year anniversary has already taken that story beyond the Netherlands. STMPD has brought its anniversary tour to the United States, Canada, Brazil and Japan before returning to its home base in Amsterdam. The AFAS Live show now brings the celebration back to the city where the label began, during Amsterdam Dance Event, with artists from across its first decade appearing on the same date. ADE

The celebration will also continue outside the main show through an official Martin Garrix & STMPD RCRDS pop-up store at art’otel Amsterdam during ADE. The pop-up will feature live DJ sets from STMPD artists, exclusive merchandise and meet-and-greets. It gives the label another presence in Amsterdam before the 10-year celebration reaches AFAS Live on October 22.

With more artists still to come, the AFAS Live show gives STMPD RCRDS a fitting way to close out a decade that has taken the label far beyond its beginnings in Amsterdam. After anniversary events across several countries, the return to ADE brings the story back to the artists, collaborations and releases behind the label’s first 10 years.
