Few DJs or producers could claim to be as active and committed to their music as London's DJ Hype. Gaining experience as part of the Heatwave Soundsystem (part of Shut Up & Dance), he mixed reggae, hip hop and house with the ‘all-inclusive’ attitude he now applies to drum and bass. He has built soundsystems, A&R'd for Kickin' Records, worked with both indies and majors, and hosted radio shows on the seminal Fantasy FM and Kiss. He currently operates the labels True Playaz, Naughty and Global Thang.
DJ Hype is on of the most energetic and intense DJs around. Mixing a defiantly dancefloor-aimed selection, he cuts, hacks and doubles-up tracks to shape an 18-cut throwdown of to-the-minute d ‘n’ b, true to his consistently sold-out Fabriclive residency. True Playaz at Fabriclive happens on the last Friday of each month.
“This mix is all about those dirty, funky, super-tearin' True Playaz nights at FABRICLIVE. Real jungle, drum ‘n’ bass. Damn right.” – DJ Hype
