Artist
DJ Hype
Key DJ and producer who championed jungle at clubs like AWOL and on pirate radio throughout 90s. Jump-up productions and remixes—including rework of Remarc's "R.I.P"—became dancefloor staples. As selector, his sets shaped jungle's evolution week by week, testing new dubplates and setting agenda for what scene valued. Active since 1989, remains foundational figure in UK breakbeat culture. As documented in *Who Say Reload*, his role wasn't just to play records but to curate genre's future in real time—if your dubplate could survive one of Hype's sets, it could survive anywhere.
