    This video made me change my mind about James Hype.
    Despite not liking the genres he normally plays, the guy is undoubtedly skilled.
    And I was under the impression he was a jerk, but he seems to be quite a normal guy.

    Wow!!! I took the intro of this very deep. Everything happens for a reason. James thought dj equipment was remix/production equipment and it has shaped the way he dj's in very unique amazing ways. Imagine if people laughed at James or didn't take him seriously. The more we love people, the more we let their uniqueness out and let them florish.
