I started following you when I saw your DJ sounds video. I then booked you the following year for a beach club in Tenerife that I worked in. I unfortunately due to a family situation didn't get chance to stay and meet you and watch the set but all the staff thanked me after for booking you saying it was the set of the summer. Being following your rise to the top ever since. You deserve everything and more. Keep up the good work.
James, your dedication to preserving and innovating the DJ culture is truly commendable! With over 40 years of experience in the field, I deeply appreciate the fresh energy and techniques you inject into the booth. Thank you for keeping the spirit alive!
Proud to say that I pulled this transition off at a wedding last year. When I posted it on my IG page, Tita commented and tagged you to watch. Thank you for the inspiration brother. 🙏🏼
Big greetings from Poland, great respect for using Polish music in your sets, songs that are real classics for people who listened to this music at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
I love that you've created your own style of tricks that actually work to hype the club. That's the key. Too many DJs try to do things that work online but it's just not the same. You've inspired me to push myself the same way.
I started following you when youtube recommended me the "Get Closer: UK" video. Even with the begginer DJ experiencie I have, I could appreciate the complexity and love you put into your mixes, they realy are a whole other level. I loved the style of showing close ups of your CDjs so any inexperienced like me can learn new techniques just by watching you. You really are an inspiration to me. Thank you.
Kudos! Took a 'normal' transition to form a whole new style and world of DJing - and when you put it like that, opens up a whole new world of possibilities for the future!
found you from that transition and admittedly copied it for my sets for a while there too, as a mashup artist the two songs aren't exactly in key and it used to drive me up the wall but it honestly doesn't matter in the context it was being used. followed and watched in awe for the last few years at the tricks you do, gives me old school DMC vibes "real djing" and I'm all for it
Still remember getting that 3rd place on tita lau's remix comp, that was YEARS back. Been following your career for a long time bro, and u 100% deserve everything u have achieved. Super hard working artist and a great dude overall! Its always crazy to think that your name was once an unknown name to the world.
for me as a DJ plep and knowing nothing about it, but reading all the comments like: "connor mc gregor of DJing" and something like that... know it makes sense... its not about being a great technical professor or releasing awesome toplist tracks... its a symphony of finding your style and give it a delivery, with motion, and hit the nerve of the time, with all possibilities you have and keep doing it, keep doing it, keep doing it, improve, repeat, improve, repeat. and yes... first time I saw you was in a clip and it stunned me too... but the people wich focusing on writing bad comments influenced me and got me to see you and your art as something boring, non creative... why I just allowed them to stop me from enjoying? because I was like them... knowing how something is working didnt mean you get what it means to have the passion to do it and make it your own. thank you for this video... very inspiring...
I also discovered you from that transition video and I've been following you since then. Your style of DJing is so creative and you completely changed the game. Love your work mate 🔥
I started off not liking you so much. But...like everything I do; if I don't like something, I continually give it chances to teach me perspectives. You have done so my man. I enjoy your energy most of all. You keep it up, all the time. I know how hard this is..... especially on days you are feeling the dreaded negatives of life. Well done brother.
I gotta add this in too because it's VITAL info for people like you (might already know it, I"m sure) but, being a musician first hand before djing... it's CRAZY. My first week in djing EVER, which was december of 2022 (unreal it's been a full year and 3 months already)...I had DJ's asking me "why do you use different tempo ranges for all your songs?" 1. There is a myth that mixing low and high tempo sound like dogshit. 2. Most dj's don't understand beat patterns or BPM in general. (mind blowing) 3. Most dj's haven't touched a musical instrument to the degree of "Intermediate or beyond" SO the conclusion is...have FUN. Don't limit yourself... I think that's what keeps bringing me back to you HYPE. You see this vision, you understand you can't stop trying things and pushing the unknown into reality! Lets get it! It should be a community .... in fact ... I feel around 09, 10, the music that was played at festivals left major gaps for others to REMIX and edit, because they knew we could feed off each other! That's what music is. US.
Your videos and shorts make me wanna dj again everytime I'm down and when I get the feeling it's pointless to invest such an amount of money and time to prepare sets. Thank you so much. Keep it up!
I'm going to have to get that course! it's so cool to hear your story man, leaning into your strengths and leveraging to go beyond is an inspiration i hope to follow.
Thank you for the share. It's amazing what you do with that controller and I practice every day and dj as much as a can, but I stopped to post this, lol. Keep on flyin' man!! Respect!
I’ll be honest the daft punk/transition is incredible but I think the what made it viral is your interactions and the way you presented it to the crowd. I’m going through the DDT James hype mixing skills course and it’s the same the way you present it. Very engaging.
The second I saw the title I knew the exact video, I remember watching in 2018 and being hella impressed. All these years later you're still innovating, keep it up!
I started listening to him in 2018, and during quarantine too, I love it when he releases house tracks, Latin house, tech house and a multitude of styles in the set, I'm happy with how things are going well for you, james hype
I remember the first time I saw that clip and was an instant hook. Big fan of your music since 2018. Wish you tour around South America sometime soon. Best regards from Pucon, Chile.
Came across you and your transitions during the first covid lockdown and then again because of DJ Carlo breaking down wh'ts happening during this transition. That made me want to try it myself and finally get some hardware instead of using a Laptop with mouse and generic DJ Software. Luckily enough I received some money back for flights that got cancelled because of covid and bought the first DJ controller. After getting used to the hardware and trying "James Hype Transitions" with different genres I realized I had to upgrade to bigger/better equipment, as I only had a 2 channel XDJ RR. And here I am today - an almost 38 years old beginner (at least I call myself that) who is regularly enjoying to stream for just a bunch of followers - and of course for myself - and finally applied for club gigs to gain some more experience. You (and covid tbh) played a big part in it. Thank you for the inspiration. =)
I actually found about you with that One More Time clip, I remember I was watching some other DJ doing it and showing how to do it in RUclips (Carlo Atendido maybe?) I remember it was during lockdown and I always loved the idea of DJing so after seeing that video I said: Dude, this is so cool. And I bought a DJ Mixer the next day. I don't DJ Professionally but I do at home sometimes and at some clubs my family own just for fun (Can't compare home speakers with clubs ones ahaha), I always try to incorporate your techniques in some way or another because they are just fun to do and amazing to hear. Maybe one day I'll DJ professionally and all of it thanks to your dedication and skills!
Dope video bro. I remember seeing that one more time to losing it transition and I was like damn thats lit. My kids who are 4 & 3 love your Ferrari track.
Listening to the transition now and really realizing it's a very basic trick between two great songs but they don't match at all in vibe, and the transition does 'em no justice either, lol
The first time I listened to you was one time I heard of your Hotline Bling Remix in the Radio at midnight, for me it was sick that remix, and later in 2020 I discovered u again with the Streamings, it's amazing how you show the next level of dijing 👏👏
I first saw you mixing with the lock down mixes live on the street. I loved them, seeing how people react, little party´s people dancing. I would love to see that back one day. You are the best DJ now in the scene I think James. Keep on going.
You’ve inspired me after I saw your DDJ400 video 3-4yrs ago. I ended up snagging one & have been using it since. I’ve now upgraded to a FLX10 & DJing weekly in DC clubs. I wish you’d come to SoundCheck again. That set was fire.
I discovered you in 2019 and when the pandemic hit , i saw all your dj sets and you are a role model to me , I’m a dj too and i just got my first big festival booking ever , i learned your consistency and dedication and everything is possible, i saw you live in edc Mexico and that was so amazing to see one of my inspirations in real life , keep going James
@james Back in the lockdown i saw some of your videos when you were livestreaming music. I always got my laptop and went to Cafeterias etc just to enjoy my coffee while listening to you. And at that point i decided. Seeing the live chat at the livestreams and how they were enjoying the music going crazy, the way of you "Dj'ing", the tricks everything inspired me. I decided that i want to become a DJ because playing music for people to dance and have fun is a unique feeling. At this point i would like to thank you for everything James. For the inspiration, the impact that you had on me as a DJ (even if i am still unkown here) and your unique style in everything. You are amazing, keep going and keep creating new "Ways" of Dj'ing!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
First track I’ve heared of you was Dancing and I really liked it. Started following you and watch out for ur releases so I could get them first and play them here in the Netherlands. I remember when you released Ferrari so well. essentially everyone liked that song. Started hearing it on radios few weeks later. What I like about you is that next to just being a good dj and producer, you also show an unfiltered no bullshit way how you do the tricks and how you produce and that is super rare. I wanna thank you for that because getting that knowledge can really help people with a similar dream as you had out.
OMG - flicking the fader between a perennial dance classic and a hard drop... genius... if only you had a good videographer to translate the musical emotion to something visceral that worked on TikTok! Love you man.
I started following you after the release of "More Than Friends" and have been following your journey ever since. Dude, words can't express how much I loved the "This Is Real DJing" Series. Keep inspiring James!
You just gave me a lot of knowleadge in this video James. As a begginer, I just realize that it's important to find and master your own way to become a pro. When the extraordinary becomes the normal to you, it's because you are a real master. Thanks my man!
Ferdinands field was insane, was my first festival where i saw your show and got the opportunity for so much great shows afterwards. Thanks for the get closers in London🙏 see you soon in miami. Greetings from Germany 🙌
I agree with you that it’s an fairly ordinary clip in terms of technical ability ( no disrespect) but part of the popularity was probably due to the fact that most djs playing tech house can’t/don’t use the faders to cut/chop up tracks so to a certain audience it probably seems new/exciting/technical even though it isn’t really. Bad Boy Bill was doing this with house music 25 years ago and Dave Clarke was doing it with techno/Electro 25 years ago.
Yes I still remember when the video of that transition went viral and it was an eye opener to me. You inspired me to get interested into DJing, and many more. Big respect and please keep up your honest and real approach. It is highly appreciated.
Slept on the hype until 4 months ago, been truly inspired. Since got MacBook, ableton live (soon to be max for them mad lead synths on granulator) and Ddjs ordered. Keep smashing it👊🏻
I'm not sure when, but in a sunday morning during the lockdown, one of you lives starts on you tube, playing super lover - turn me on x rosala, that intro whith the perfect mix and super creative trick hits me like a bomb. Than i found One More Time x losing it, instantly became a fan. You´re the best DJ in the world by far, keep inspiring people, keep creative, keep real.
like many others I started seeing your video of one more time and losing it in the lockdown, thanks to you I developed a great passion and now I also DJ in clubs, I will never stop thanking you, I can't wait to come and listen to you James, I'm waiting for you from Italy
I started DJing when I was 14 years old. I had to leave it behind to attend university. However, in 2020, when the pandemic hit, I was going through some tough times. One morning, while having breakfast, a DJ set of yours appeared in my recommendations. Before that moment, I used to think that DJs simply transitioned from one track to another. But you inspired me to reconnect with music and DJing. As a result, I found emotional healing and a renewed sense of purpose. Thank you for showing the authentic joy and fulfillment that DJs can bring. Te amo, James Hype!
"The 10 year overnight success" is a saying that's been in the industry for decades. It's a thing for a reason. Lines up pretty conveniently with the 10,000 hours rule too
I have no idea why your channel starting appearing in my feed, but I watched this anyway. Awesome thing man! Hard work sometimes really pays if you just put time and effort into it.
Funny that you start with 'how I got lucky' and share the work you've put into it. People love to see the result, but tend to forget the process! Thanks for sharing! edit: fan since your famous kitchen (and sometimes garage) streams!
James, thank you so much for sharing your process at Ableton! I was struck by the fact that you write many of your tracks on the plane and on the road with headphones, and then immediately play them in the club! It would be great if you recorded a video about what you pay attention to during mixing and mastering so that your tracks sound well balanced in the club at high volume. 🙏 ⚡ 🎧 🎶
I've listened mainly to Hardcore, Frenchcore and Hardstyle for the last 20 years or so. Gabber, Speedcore etc when the opportunity is there. I started listening to James Hype a couple of years back now and I'll be seeing him in London next month for the first time. Got to say thank you for the music You've definitely mellowed me out a bit😂
My first encounter with James Hype was like a 3 deck mini mix video on your YT like from 8 years ago, got me hooked :) Big Love James! You came a long way
Hey james!! Your style of djing is definitely inspirational 🙏, It's from watching you DJ. That's really made me try to push my style of DJing further🙏🙏 I couldn't thank you enough 🫂
I learned how to James Hype before James Hype was the James Hype he is now, and God damn, did it do wonders for me. These tricks were especially new and fresh in the countries I performed in. Now, thanks to how talented he is, James is known throughout the world and this sort of DJing is rightfully attributed to him everywhere. I hope he and other artists continue pushing the boundaries for me to learn from and "borrow" 😉.
Kudos to you for showcasing your djing journey. I'll admit i wasnt a fan at first, dont really want to call myself a 'fan' at 50 yrs old either but what interests me is the honesty in the djing world and music creative world. I was a pro dj way back in the 90's when house was finding its feet, was a resi down south and had my fair share of clubs but todays world of djing is very different. Ive watched every Moving Differently episode and look forward to the continuing journey. Even my 18 month old son is a fan :) Hey an idea: why not have a debrief app that hypefam can use to collectively add their own set score? I was thinking about making one Lastly, you're playing in Austin soon, im a stones throw down in South Padre Island ( a place you should come and play). There are couple of us Brits down here in the house music world :) mi casa tu casa
I saw you live for the first time last year at the Echelon festival in Bad Aibling (Germany) and I have to admit that one of the reasons I went to that festival was James Hype. You have to experience how this genius plays on four decks at the same time. Your set was insane ❤
The art of a skilled transition is what sets an ok dj apart from a mad scientist of a dj! You and Laidback Luke have been the prime example of the mad scientist!
James you are going to be the best in the world, your journey is almost complete. Keep making your unique songs and mixes. I liked the idea of talking more about your story. All I need to do is ask Tita to marry me here in Brazil. James The Best Hype I admire you man.😀
I started to follow you because of that exact trick of One more time X Losing it, and for me you are what djs should really be, you inspire me and a whole lot of people in the world
Hey JH, always loving your honest approach and hard work... that's why your genre is always tip top and we love to be inspired.. Top shout dude... KR ID.
Always Inspiring. Thank you. I'm almost 27 and I've started just few months ago. Everyday I am fighting with this feeling of not being good enough and it is too late for me to take off. Is it really too late to start?
Thank you for being a beacon in the scene by paying so much Attention to technique,it got a bit lost the last decade. Keep it up u deserve the hype (no pun intended)
Amazing video, inspiring and challenging making it perfect for the future, I will watch it and think those words again and again "How I'm gonna make it?" That end it's was amazing 🔥🔥
I started following you back in 2017. You've grown a lot musically, professionally, and technically (from what you let us see) Come to Pittsburgh PA sometime! I'd love to buy you a beer. :) Sadly our nightclubs all died during covid, and there isn't a much house scene here, not anymore :(. But next time you're in DC I'll be in the crowd!
I started following you when I saw your DJ sounds video. I then booked you the following year for a beach club in Tenerife that I worked in. I unfortunately due to a family situation didn't get chance to stay and meet you and watch the set but all the staff thanked me after for booking you saying it was the set of the summer. Being following your rise to the top ever since. You deserve everything and more. Keep up the good work.
that's dope, i remember the club! Thankyou mate
Send me your IG or FB
Like ure sound.give praise where its due
i'll be on tenerife late april, i just wanted to let you know, okay?
James, your dedication to preserving and innovating the DJ culture is truly commendable! With over 40 years of experience in the field, I deeply appreciate the fresh energy and techniques you inject into the booth. Thank you for keeping the spirit alive!
Innovating?
Proud to say that I pulled this transition off at a wedding last year. When I posted it on my IG page, Tita commented and tagged you to watch. Thank you for the inspiration brother. 🙏🏼

I gotta add this in too because it's VITAL info for people like you (might already know it, I"m sure) but, being a musician first hand before djing... it's CRAZY.

1. There is a myth that mixing low and high tempo sound like dogshit.
2. Most dj's don't understand beat patterns or BPM in general. (mind blowing)
3. Most dj's haven't touched a musical instrument to the degree of "Intermediate or beyond"
SO the conclusion is...have FUN. Don't limit yourself... I think that's what keeps bringing me back to you HYPE. You see this vision, you understand you can't stop trying things and pushing the unknown into reality!
Lets get it! It should be a community .... in fact ... I feel around 09, 10, the music that was played at festivals left major gaps for others to REMIX and edit, because they knew we could feed off each other!

I'm going to have to get that course! it's so cool to hear your story man, leaning into your strengths and leveraging to go beyond is an inspiration i hope to follow.

There's no way James Hype runs out of music during his sets these days! ❤ You're my alarm, my HYPE for the day. "I Won't Let Go"
..you are so honest and so real, real sagittarius...❤ respect
Another amazing tips from James hype!!🔥🔥
I was right there in the early years, always loving the "James Hype Remix" inserted in a mix.
I actually found about you with that One More Time clip, I remember I was watching some other DJ doing it and showing how to do it in RUclips (Carlo Atendido maybe?) I remember it was during lockdown and I always loved the idea of DJing so after seeing that video I said: Dude, this is so cool. And I bought a DJ Mixer the next day.

Yea it was Carlo Atentifo ....that guy is sick on decks...would love to see james and him om festival
Good to hear the back story mate and good inspiration to level up your creativity! All the best!
I seen my first set of yours EDC 2021 I believe it was and I was instantly hooked on your music. Keep up the good work and music.
Dope video bro. I remember seeing that one more time to losing it transition and I was like damn thats lit.
My kids who are 4 & 3 love your Ferrari track.
Coming to see you at Creamfields can’t wait!!! Keep it real man!
I’m 51 1 year into it love it ! Always stay real! Love these videos
Respect for how you got to where you are mate. Well done.
Listening to the transition now and really realizing it's a very basic trick between two great songs but they don't match at all in vibe, and the transition does 'em no justice either, lol

This is my favourite Hype video. So far. Background info and story. Awesome
Awesome video, thanks James! You really inspire the whole Dj community!
Mate, I've probably given that clip at least 1000 views and its dope every single time 🎉
You’ve inspired me after I saw your DDJ400 video 3-4yrs ago.
I ended up snagging one & have been using it since.
I’ve now upgraded to a FLX10 & DJing weekly in DC clubs.
I wish you’d come to SoundCheck again. That set was fire.
I discovered you in 2019 and when the pandemic hit , i saw all your dj sets and you are a role model to me , I’m a dj too and i just got my first big festival booking ever , i learned your consistency and dedication and everything is possible, i saw you live in edc Mexico and that was so amazing to see one of my inspirations in real life , keep going James

First track I’ve heared of you was Dancing and I really liked it. Started following you and watch out for ur releases so I could get them first and play them here in the Netherlands. I remember when you released Ferrari so well. essentially everyone liked that song. Started hearing it on radios few weeks later.
What I like about you is that next to just being a good dj and producer, you also show an unfiltered no bullshit way how you do the tricks and how you produce and that is super rare. I wanna thank you for that because getting that knowledge can really help people with a similar dream as you had out.
OMG - flicking the fader between a perennial dance classic and a hard drop... genius... if only you had a good videographer to translate the musical emotion to something visceral that worked on TikTok! Love you man.
I started following you after the release of "More Than Friends" and have been following your journey ever since. Dude, words can't express how much I loved the "This Is Real DJing" Series. Keep inspiring James!
You just gave me a lot of knowleadge in this video James. As a begginer, I just realize that it's important to find and master your own way to become a pro. When the extraordinary becomes the normal to you, it's because you are a real master. Thanks my man!
Hard work pays off! Hats off to you for pushing it for the last decade or so. Well deserved!
You a real inspiration man
Ferdinands field was insane, was my first festival where i saw your show and got the opportunity for so much great shows afterwards. Thanks for the get closers in London🙏 see you soon in miami.

2:16 thank you for all you post I’m now learning to remix in my sets and I’m shit but I’m doing it 2:51
Big Up James! Your videos have definitely been an inspiration for me. Can't wait for Wild to drop!
In Vegas in July seven days thinking adding another four days to see your set July 13th 🤙🏻🇦🇺
Yes I still remember when the video of that transition went viral and it was an eye opener to me. You inspired me to get interested into DJing, and many more. Big respect and please keep up your honest and real approach. It is highly appreciated.
thank you
Slept on the hype until 4 months ago, been truly inspired. Since got MacBook, ableton live (soon to be max for them mad lead synths on granulator) and Ddjs ordered. Keep smashing it👊🏻
I'm not sure when, but in a sunday morning during the lockdown, one of you lives starts on you tube, playing super lover - turn me on x rosala, that intro whith the perfect mix and super creative trick hits me like a bomb.

like many others I started seeing your video of one more time and losing it in the lockdown, thanks to you I developed a great passion and now I also DJ in clubs, I will never stop thanking you, I can't wait to come and listen to you James, I'm waiting for you from Italy
Used too see Your transition videos I was like dam this is clean af
I started DJing when I was 14 years old. I had to leave it behind to attend university. However, in 2020, when the pandemic hit, I was going through some tough times. One morning, while having breakfast, a DJ set of yours appeared in my recommendations. Before that moment, I used to think that DJs simply transitioned from one track to another. But you inspired me to reconnect with music and DJing. As a result, I found emotional healing and a renewed sense of purpose. Thank you for showing the authentic joy and fulfillment that DJs can bring. Te amo, James Hype!
"The 10 year overnight success" is a saying that's been in the industry for decades. It's a thing for a reason.
Lines up pretty conveniently with the 10,000 hours rule too
gracias por tu sabiduria !!!!!!!!! saludos dede Argentina
Great video - well put in an authentic and honest way. Well done bru!
I have no idea why your channel starting appearing in my feed, but I watched this anyway. Awesome thing man! Hard work sometimes really pays if you just put time and effort into it.
You absolutely Brough back an education of dying. Great work
I love you bro been following you from the start. you are just so passionate about what you are doing.
Gosh man you took me down memory lane. Ive been following you before more than friends. Youve inspired me loads ❤
I wouldve believed you if the story was:
Wife: "Do that thing you did on me but on the DJ deck"
Boy, you're so awesome and humble.
Funny that you start with 'how I got lucky' and share the work you've put into it. People love to see the result, but tend to forget the process! Thanks for sharing!
edit: fan since your famous kitchen (and sometimes garage) streams!
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again! We lost Avicii and he chose James Hype to keep the torch going! You’re mixes are spiritual and motivating
James, thank you so much for sharing your process at Ableton! I was struck by the fact that you write many of your tracks on the plane and on the road with headphones, and then immediately play them in the club! It would be great if you recorded a video about what you pay attention to during mixing and mastering so that your tracks sound well balanced in the club at high volume. 🙏 ⚡ 🎧 🎶
Best dj and best motivational speaker, love you dawg❤
I've listened mainly to Hardcore, Frenchcore and Hardstyle for the last 20 years or so. Gabber, Speedcore etc when the opportunity is there. I started listening to James Hype a couple of years back now and I'll be seeing him in London next month for the first time. Got to say thank you for the music You've definitely mellowed me out a bit😂
My first encounter with James Hype was like a 3 deck mini mix video on your YT like from 8 years ago, got me hooked :) Big Love James! You came a long way
POV ur watching this after doing that exact transition 2 days ago
i'm an OG too. I was there at Ferdinands Feld Festival and it was insane.
Greetings from Germany
Hey james!! Your style of djing is definitely inspirational 🙏, It's from watching you DJ. That's really made me try to push my style of DJing further🙏🙏
I couldn't thank you enough 🫂
I learned how to James Hype before James Hype was the James Hype he is now, and God damn, did it do wonders for me. These tricks were especially new and fresh in the countries I performed in. Now, thanks to how talented he is, James is known throughout the world and this sort of DJing is rightfully attributed to him everywhere. I hope he and other artists continue pushing the boundaries for me to learn from and "borrow" 😉.
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you james🎉
Absolutely smashing it James 👌🏻
That was my always thinking in producing "how should i get it to next level"...damn
Kudos to you for showcasing your djing journey. I'll admit i wasnt a fan at first, dont really want to call myself a 'fan' at 50 yrs old either but what interests me is the honesty in the djing world and music creative world. I was a pro dj way back in the 90's when house was finding its feet, was a resi down south and had my fair share of clubs but todays world of djing is very different. Ive watched every Moving Differently episode and look forward to the continuing journey. Even my 18 month old son is a fan :)
Hey an idea: why not have a debrief app that hypefam can use to collectively add their own set score? I was thinking about making one
Lastly, you're playing in Austin soon, im a stones throw down in South Padre Island ( a place you should come and play). There are couple of us Brits down here in the house music world :)
mi casa tu casa
I saw you live for the first time last year at the Echelon festival in Bad Aibling (Germany) and I have to admit that one of the reasons I went to that festival was James Hype. You have to experience how this genius plays on four decks at the same time. Your set was insane ❤
I keep telling people you DJ'd Liverpool and no one believes me. Glad you put this out. 😂
Motivation on its purest
The art of a skilled transition is what sets an ok dj apart from a mad scientist of a dj! You and Laidback Luke have been the prime example of the mad scientist!
big inspiration coming from this guy!!!
James you are going to be the best in the world, your journey is almost complete. Keep making your unique songs and mixes. I liked the idea of talking more about your story. All I need to do is ask Tita to marry me here in Brazil. James The Best Hype I admire you man.😀
love you music
Well on ya 🎉
Dude went full on egotripping 😂
I started to follow you because of that exact trick of One more time X Losing it, and for me you are what djs should really be, you inspire me and a whole lot of people in the world
Hey JH, always loving your honest approach and hard work... that's why your genre is always tip top and we love to be inspired.. Top shout dude... KR ID.
Always Inspiring. Thank you. I'm almost 27 and I've started just few months ago. Everyday I am fighting with this feeling of not being good enough and it is too late for me to take off. Is it really too late to start?
u inspired me man thanks!
3:26 this is the first time I watched you I was his transitions are sick 3:50 I’m gonna take your courses
Inspiring 🎉 Thanks Mr Hype
Thank you for being a beacon in the scene by paying so much Attention to technique,it got a bit lost the last decade.
Keep it up u deserve the hype (no pun intended)
Amazing video, inspiring and challenging making it perfect for the future, I will watch it and think those words again and again "How I'm gonna make it?" That end it's was amazing 🔥🔥
I started following you back in 2017. You've grown a lot musically, professionally, and technically (from what you let us see) Come to Pittsburgh PA sometime! I'd love to buy you a beer. :) Sadly our nightclubs all died during covid, and there isn't a much house scene here, not anymore :(. But next time you're in DC I'll be in the crowd!
