JAMES HYPE (UK)
Event Information
<p>The Liverpool-born DJ and producer came up the hard way – playing six nights a week in his hometown clubs, working through open-format sets that spanned every genre imaginable. Those years grinding in local venues gave him something rare: an encyclopaedic knowledge of music and an instinctive understanding of how to keep a dance floor moving, no matter what.</p><p>From those early days spinning hip-hop and R&B, James eventually found his home in house music – though those formative influences still run through everything he does today. It's that depth of musical heritage, combined with serious technical ability, that's made him <strong>one of the most respected selectors in the game</strong>.</p><p>What really set James apart was his willingness to push the boundaries of what DJing could be. Using hot cues, loops, samples and live mixing, he developed a spontaneous, dynamic approach that recreates music on the fly – turning every set into something genuinely unpredictable. In an era where pre-recorded sets and sync buttons dominate, <strong>watching James work is a reminder of what DJing looked like before the shortcuts</strong>.</p><p>His production track record backs it all up: <strong>'Ferrari' hit number one across Europe and has clocked over two billion streams</strong>, while <strong>'More Than Friends' became another UK Top 10</strong>. He's worked with Major Lazer, sampled Justin Timberlake on 'Drums' with Kim Petras, and built <strong>over 10 million monthly Spotify listeners</strong>. Through his label Stereohype, he's championing the next generation of talent while continuing to release his own material.</p><p>From <strong>his Our House residency at Hï Ibiza with Meduza</strong> to main stages at EDC, Tomorrowland and Mysteryland, plus regular runs in Las Vegas at spots like Marquee Club, James has become a fixture on the global circuit. But it's the club shows – the Bootshaus Colognes, the Brooklyn Mirages, the Watergate Berlins – where you really see what he's capable of.</p><p><strong>The Timber Yard in February. James Hype doing what he does best.</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>The Daily Aus Giveaway - </strong><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M6XsJzHGXQB2qM1gLzTg1_6SeyTTDU0J/edit"><strong>Terms & Conditions</strong></a><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M6XsJzHGXQB2qM1gLzTg1_6SeyTTDU0J/edit" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a></p>
