DJ Hype

DJ Hype is widely considered one of the pillars of modern drum and bass, with a pivotal role in expanding musical styles within that genre. He was an early DJ on one of London’s pirate stations, Fantasy FM, and has been popular on the international DJ circuit, landing awards for Best Male DJ and Best Radio DJ.

The Ganja label gained almost immediate popularity, primarily through floor-fillers such as DJ Krome & Time’s “Ganja Man” and DJ Zinc’s “Super Sharp Shooter.” That popularity peaked with the release of their first LP in 1996: 'Still Smokin’, a label compilation released jointly by Ganja and cohort Pascal’s Frontline imprint. The album became one of the highest-selling independent jungle compilations.

In the early 1990’s Simon ‘Bassline’ Smith was at the forefront, playing for some of the biggest dance organizations in the country such as: - Perception, Methology, Rain Dance, Dance ’91 and World Dance.
