James Hype seems to think he's invented something new

What was Bowlers like? did you ever get there?

yeltsin · February 20, 2025, 12:33pm

Yeah, first night I ever went some poor 16 year old kid collapsed on the dance floor in front of me after smashing 2 pills on his first night out sadly he passed away and they shut the place for 6 months but came back with a bang with a Fantazia night with Carl Cox on!!

Bit cheesier than the “super clubs” of the time, trackies and trainers instead of £100 evisu jeans and a shirt, but a proper “what’s your name, what’ve you had and where do you come from” night, played the tracks everyone wanted to hear and to this date it’s still where I saw the best ever live PA in Dream Frequency. Was massive as well, like an old school warehouse rave (before my time) but all legit.

Sounds awesome, Take me to the top is one of my all time fave tracks too. i just missed the proper rave scene and only caught the back end of the 90s, still pretty special but not as groundbreaking as those earlier days.

Stu Allan live at Bowlers was one of my first Rave tapes as a kid, epic tracklist.

I might have been there, saw him loads of times at Bowlers. Loved him as a DJ, right knob of a person. They always say never meet your heroes…

A few of the Manchester DJs are meant to be a bit like that arent they. Then the ones you expect to be a knob end up being sound.

Steve Parry probably the nicest DJ I’ve met. Stood with him on the Terrace at Space doing a Selador night and he was just sound (as was Dave Seaman tbf).

More James Hype love from Reddit

LAUBE · February 21, 2025, 5:55am

I’m not his fan at all, but I respect his work. He brings people together.

yeltsin · February 21, 2025, 9:42am

Me neither, but agree with you. Not a fan of many MainStage TomorrowLand acts, but they are loved by many so who am I to judge?

His latest post…

LOL

STU-C · March 4, 2025, 12:09pm

Burning question, why the hell is someone posting in his comments that he has no talent, people need to get a grip.

We can like or not like his DJing or style of DJing, but saying that is just trolling.

That’s just the internet/social media all over though, isn’t it? It’s what people do.

I’ve just been reading about the actress from Stranger Things (in season 1 she was 12) being “bullied” by journalists now she’s 21, who’ve been criticising her appearance.

I did have to resist leaving a comment under James Hype’s video though, about the mic holding.

Millie’s post Millie Bobby Brown on Instagram: "I want to take a moment to address something that I think is bigger than just me, something that affects every young woman who grows up under public scrutiny. I think it’s necessary to speak up about this. I started in this industry when I was 10 years old. I grew up in front of the world, and for some reason, people can’t seem to grow with me. Instead, they act like I’m supposed to stay frozen in time, like I should still look the way I did on Stranger Things Season 1. And because I don’t, I’m now a target. Let’s talk about the articles, the headlines, the people who are so desperate to tear young women down. ‘Why are Gen Zers like Millie Bobby Brown ageing so badly?’ by Lydia Hawken. ‘What has Millie Bobby Brown done to her face?’ by John Ely. ‘Millie Bobby Brown mistaken for someone’s mom as she guides younger sister Ava through LA’ by Cassie Carpenter. ‘Little Britain’s Matt Lucas takes savage swipe at Millie Bobby Brown’s new “mommy makeover” look’—written by Bethan Edwards, amplifying an insult rather than questioning why a grown man is mocking a young woman’s appearance. This isn’t journalism. This is bullying. The fact that adult writers are spending their time dissecting my face, my body, my choices, it’s disturbing. The fact that some of these articles are written by women? Even worse. We always talk about supporting and uplifting young women, but when the time comes, it seems easier to tear them down for clicks. Disillusioned people can’t handle seeing a girl become a woman on her terms, not theirs. I refuse to apologize for growing up. I refuse to make myself smaller to fit the unrealistic expectations of people who can’t handle seeing a girl become a woman. I will not be shamed for how I look, how I dress, or how I present myself. We have become a society where it’s so much easier to criticize than it is to pay a compliment. Why is the knee-jerk reaction to say something horrible rather than to say something nice? If you have a problem with that, I have to wonder—what is it that actually makes you so uncomfortable? Let’s do better. Not just for me, but for every young girl who deserves to grow up without fear of being torn apart for simply existing."

Scary is the confidence in which he believes hes really doing something new…. either he is just the showman and knows its nothing new or he was basically “betrayed” by his team. but well google is free to use even for him….

djliquidice · August 7, 2025, 12:54pm

We call that arrogance. Dude’s ego is huge and he clearly needs to feed it.

Kinda similar to Guetta and how he needed to feed his ego by capitalizing on a dark moment in US history with this tasteless “tribute to George Floyd”. Stuff like this is pure ego.
