The hang is definitely a divine instrument. I had the good fortune of playing one at a didgeridoo festival a couple of years ago.
Unfortunately I do not know of anyone in the psy chill genre using one yet (or samples) if you like the 'vibe' of the hang then check out "Blue Beryl" by Digital Samsara. As a hang fan, there are lots of nice overtones there you will appreciate. also research music of mbira, steel drums, and traditional gamelan which have a similar feel. (although there is nothing like a hang! playing one has to be a highlight for me!
For some good hang solo tracks (ok, no star wars jokes check out the website of Alan Tower. http://alantower.net/hang.html
he is a prominent local artist in the bay area that is into the hang, and regularly plays live if you are in the area be sure to catch him
