Culture, OneSceneunited and Revolution Present: Saturday June 17,2006 HYPER Twenty-Seven year old Guy Hatfield is a man with a mission. Heralded as the new Breakbeat leader of the pack and the hardest workingman in the UK dance scene, he continues to turn heads and push boundaries to great acclaim. Hyper’s pioneering Y3K compilation albums secured his name in the dance scene as one to watch and spawned many copycat Breakbeat albums. Guy went on to surpass expectations with his world-renowned Bedrock Breaks CD’s and can lay claim to the biggest selling full price Breakbeat comps to date. Hyper’s unique DJ sets, sliding between genres, have earned him the respect of fellow pioneers, Paul Oakenfold, John Digweed, Timo Maas and BT (who lists him as one of his favourite DJ’s). Through shear hard work and over the last few years Guy has also achieved one of his main aims in taking Breakbeat from a backroom stalwart to a main room attraction blowing away many larger (and higher paid) jocks worldwide who commit to a more limited sound. He regularly is asked to guest mix on BBC Radio 1 for DJ’s Annie Nightingale, Seb Fontaine and Fergie. Hyper frequently tours Stateside where he is considered as one of the (if not THE) scenes leading lights. He is a popular and frequent guest at the US’ largest clubs Spundae and Buzz. All this activity and profile lead to Hyper being chosen as the support DJ for Breakbeats biggest band, The Crystal Method on tour in the USA in spring ‘04. In the studio Guy has been writing his much anticipated debut artist album. Recent releases on Timo Maas’ label 4:20 Recordings have proven a successful teaser of what1s to come. Guy’s production style contains the strong elements and main room crossover one has come to expect from his dance floor filling remixes. He has built on the notoriety of his mix (now a Breakbeat anthem) of 2001's biggest track 'Addicted To Bass', and other charting acts Filter and Joy Kitikonti. Hyper’s popular remix of Terminalhead was also chosen for a Radio 1 TV ad campaign. Recently Guy has also collaborated with some of his favourite producers General Midi, Uberzone, Rui Da Silva and John Ross (one time production partner of both Sasha and BT), the results are groundbreaking. Some genuinely great club remixes and productions have naturally attracted the attention of major labels and artist seeking to find a credible remixer for use on their artist forthcoming releases. Hyper first major label remix came for Pink ‘Trouble’ and ‘God Is A DJ’, remixed to such a high standard that Pink herself has asked that he be considered for remix duty on all her future singles. Also this year Hyper has remixed Sugababes, Paul Van Dyk, Sarah McLauchlane, The Crystal Method and BT. Hyper also runs his own successful breaks label Kilowatt. Artists signed to the label include Terminalhead, Stir Fry, Flatliners, General Midi, False Prophet and MobileGazer – singles available now. The promotion company Waxworks he set up is still the biggest in Breaks after 7 years. Guy is also DJ Magazine’s specialist breakbeat reviewer. Hyper is one of THE best technical DJ’s in Breakbeat, expect much more from him and expect your expectations to be surpassed. along with: Wendel Mike Sharpe Supernaut more info TBA
