HYPER (kilowatt / hope / thrive, UK)

At 27, 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. He is one of BT's favs.
He regularly is asked to guest mix on BBC Radio 1 for DJ’s Annie Nightingale, Seb Fontaine and Fergie. 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. Recent releases on Timo Maas’ label 4:20 Recordings have proven a successful teaser of what's to come.He has built on the notoriety of his mix (now a Breakbeat anthem) of 2001's biggest track 'Addicted To Bass'. 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! 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. Hyper is one of THE best technical DJ’s in Breakbeat, expect much more from him and expect your expectations to be surpassed! 12:00-1:00AM
