After being DJ’ing on London pirate radio stations for several years, Kevin Ford began producing Drum n’ Bass in 1989 assuming the name DJ Hype. Mixing in a bit of reggae, hip-hop and house has added to Hype’s distinctive nature. Present at the birth of the rave culture and the electronic new wave, Hype has seen it all and throughout his career has sound tracked many people’s clubbing experience. Known for his jump up DJ sets and his guest appearances at Fabric, DJ Hype knows how to bring the party. Before he even jumps up onto the decks, the whole crowd is pumped as they shout ‘Hype, Hype, Hype’. With venues packed wall to wall, you can anticipate the intense and sweaty environment as the crowd get into the zone aided by Hype’s innate ability to read the audience and help them get lost in the beats as they bang their heads back and forth. His performances consistently have the crowd up on their feet as he drops the jungle mixes in, he’s always interacting with the clubbers as he jumps up and down creating this electric energy which permeates through the room. As legendary as he is, DJ Hype most definitely lives up to his name.
