Essentially Hype is to drum and bass as Afrika Bambaata was to the development of hip-hop. He first became involved in music through the legendary Shut Up and Dance sound system, like many before him his interest growing from physically building the speakers that made up the rig to DJ’ing, spinning reggae, house and hip hop throughout the eighties. As time passed, his skills behind the turntable grew to the extent of winning the London heat of the 1989 DMC’s and going on to represent Britain in the European championships. His Sunday night sessions on KISS FM are some of the most popular and secured him Best Male DJ and Best Radio DJ at subsequent Hardcore Awards.His time in the studio began at Kickin', co-producing The Scientist's seminal 'Exorcist' and 'The Bee' before laying down tracks for a number of other labels - the most notable of which, Suburban Base, saw him compiling the still highly sought after 'Drum and Bass Selection' series in addition to notching up his own underground smashes in the form of 'Trooper' and 'Shot In The Dark' while touching upon the charts with 'Isotonic' on FFRR.With substantial success, it was only a matter of time before Hype established his own label Ganja in 1993 working closely with fellow ex-Suburban Base artist and friend Pascal. 'Cops' opened up the play for his Ganja imprint which was later to feature 'Ganja Man' and Zinc's legendary 'Super Sharp Shooter,' before peaking with the 'Still Smokin' album, a collaborative effort with Pascal's Frontline Records. In 1997, they established True Playaz. Hype explains his Philosophy. 'There are two things which keep me going. Firstly, I haven't got anything else - this is it for me so I've got to keep it going - I look at what I have and music has got me everything in my life as well as enabling me to help my family. Secondly I see the enthusiasm for this music from people all over the world. This year alone we've dj'd all over the world; Spain, Canada, Switzerland, Estonia and we know that the whole planet wants it. When you've evolved with something and become part of it on a level where you know that there is such a love for it - it becomes something very special to you. To think five years ago no one could have ever have contemplated that this music would be where it is now. The day I'm playing out and the audience doesn't like it anymore I'll probably move onto something else.'XAMPLE Ram Records / Frequency / Front Line / Flex / Hard leaders / Penny Black / L Plates - UKhttp://www.myspace.com/xamplebeatsOriginally from Bristol, Xample relocated to Liverpool and teamed up with the local dj/producers Sol and Futurebound. Xample became a regular at nights around the North West, playing at some of the best nights in Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds.Around this time, Xample decided he wanted to try his hand at producing and before to long had notched up releases on labels such as Hard leaders, Penny Black and L Plates. In 2005 Xample moved back to Bristol and continued to work hard on shaping his sound, soon attracting interest from Andy C and the rest of the Ram camp, which lead to Xample signing to Frequency for a couple for 12s, before giving Ram his first track, ‘Heaven And Hell’, for the well received Dimensions EP, and also on Andy C’s Nightlife 3mix CD. It looks like Ram have done it again. Following the signings of Subfocus and Chase & Status, they have now snatched Xample, whose three forthcoming Ram tracks are already played by the biggest DJs on the scene, with Grooverider plugging ‘Lowdown’ at every Radio One show.DADDY EARL MCGanja / Frontline / Infrared / Fabric - UKhttp://www.myspace.com/mcdaddyearlMC Daddy Earl started out over twenty years ago as part of the heatwave soundsystem along side dance music legends Shut Up And Dance and DJ Hype. Over those years he has featured quite a few times on tracks that Hype and Shut Up And Dance have released but has never been interested in being an artist in his own right till this year. From Shut Up And Dances early nineties classic “Ten Pounds to get in” to last years huge” Dubplate Killaz” on Hype and Pascal’s Ganja label, MC Daddy Earl has been involved in the dance music scene.From building soundsystems in the eighties to putting the “Hype Hype Hype “into DJ Hype, Daddy Earl has very much been a driving force behind the careers of DJ Hype and Shut Up And Dance. Watchout for more tracks featuring Daddy Earl with DJ Hype and of course his continuing live work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
