Synopsis

Album Description

Twenty-five year old Guy Hatfield is a man on a mission. Although breakbeat has traditionally been dominated by acts such as The Crystal Method and DJ Icey, Hyper has recently been heralded as the new leader of the pack as he continues to turn heads and push boundaries to great acclaim. So much so that the Crystal Method has invited Hyper to support the group throughout their 2004 US tour. Hyper's pioneering "Y3K" DJ compilation albums secured his name in the dance scene as one to watch and spawned many copycat releases. Guy went on to surpass expectations with his world-renowned "Bedrock Breaks" CD's for Digweed's lauded label. Recently signed to Thrive Records, Hyper's new double mix album "Wired" presents a unique mix of Hyper originals, collaborations, remixes, and choice third party songs, making it a hybrid artist album/remix collection/DJ mix CD. Standout cuts include Hyper's recent remix of UK chart toppers Sugarbabes' 'In The Middle', Hyper's collaborations with breakbeat favorites Uberzone & General Midi, as well as upfront tracks from Plump DJs & Moguai.

CD Reviews

Hyper-Active

J. McQueen | 07/16/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"[Not really a breakbeat fan, more of a drum and bass head, but Hyper is one of the beakbeat DJs I have loved for the last few years (along with DJ Icey, Baby Anne and Simply Jeff.)]This British DJ always come correct, as he does on this infectious double CD release. It is a supersonic blast of addictively compelling grooves.
But make sure your soundsystem or headphones are correct to get the full enjoyment from this album. Do yourself a favor and check this out from one of the masters of the Bedrock Breaks album series."

My favorite breakbeat artist

"Hyper delivers electronic breakbeats just how I like them. I don't understand how anyone can listen to his stuff and not start dancing right there on the spot. My personal favorite tracks here are "Shock Proof," "Outsider," "Entertainer," and "Body Rock." Despite his past connections with The Crystal Method, don't listen to him and expect anything similar.

If you're a breakbeat fan at all, I can't recommend Hyper enough. If you're a Drum & Bass fan, you may also like his stuff. If you're an electronic music fan in general like I am, I recommend giving Hyper a listen - You may fall in love with it."
