Tune in to the exclusive Tomorrowland Friendship Mix with James Hype this Thursday at 21:00 CEST.
This week is a special occasion, as James traveled to Tomorrowland HQ to record the entire mix live on video. Expect to hear a massive set that includes the exclusive world premiere of his brand-new track 'Seratonin'.
James Hype grew up in the Wirral, a peninsula just outside Liverpool, England. As a kid, he was obsessed with dance music and spent his teenage years hanging around record shops and sneaking into clubs to watch DJs perform.
He knew from early on that this was what he wanted to do. He started playing small shows in clubs across the north of England, slowly building his name.
What set him apart was his technical prowess; while most DJs work with two decks, James Hype became known for mixing on four, blending tracks in ways that feel more like a live performance than a standard DJ set.
That dedication to his craft, combined with a sharp instinct for the dance floor, helped him stand out in a crowded scene.
His 2017 track 'More Than Friends' with Kelli-Leigh climbed to Number 1 on the UK Dance Chart. Then, in 2022, 'Ferrari' with Miggy Dela Rosa became a genuine crossover hit, reaching Number 1 in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Italy, and amassing over a billion streams worldwide.
He has collaborated with artists like Kim Petras, Craig David, and Vintage Culture, and runs his own label, Stereohype, alongside a high-profile residency at Hï Ibiza.
Since 2022, he has been a staple at Tomorrowland, returning every year to play the Crystal Garden and the iconic MainStage.
Don’t miss this Thursday’s Tomorrowland Friendship Mix for a masterclass in mixing and the first look at his latest single.
