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. #respect
Same! The way he does sometimes sort of looks like he has this superhero complex, but tbh after watching this my mind is also changed, and his skill level is out of this world, so yeah maybe he deserves a little bit superstar status :P
He is down to Earth and has got skills. He works very hard. I purchased the Digital Dj Tips course and he is very open with sharing so many things he's learnt. His style might not be for all dj's but he does instill confidence for using and know your way around the decks.
The music and style is really not my cup of tea, but huge respect for James after watching this. He’s clearly worked very hard to get to where he is and I dread to think the hours that man must spend setting cues and loops in rekordbox.
Totally agree! James has a special talent to do what he does on the decks. I personally would hate to have to prepare my sets as much as he does, but I understand that kind of preparation is needed for his style of DJing.
A five hour gig and he said he showed up with like 40 tracks. I love that. I have a whole new respect for him. I knew he was good but he is also very normal and humble.
pity he cant scratch. laidback luke has been doing this for 10 years ever since hes first pioneer dj sound show. The tricks shown here are already done before, just that pity he cant scratch. Also speaking of best DJs. this is the king of djs, masterclass th-cam.com/video/Sa9UhaUePm8/w-d-xo.html
It's insane the amount of work this guy puts in to prep his sets. Takes a lot of time to prepare each of the tracks in rekordbox and then deliver on stage, mad respect!
Its not that complicated, its all about a good musical ear and being well preparated. I think James Hype is one of the best DJs because he's making that work before every set!
I’ve been around house music and DJing since 1989 and i must say i have a whole new love for the art since following james hype,so refreshing to see the mad skills and the way he remixes on the fly,who does this.
Fun fact: James wasn't in the top 100 for DJ Mag this year. Like how bro. He's one of the only producer DJ's that actually makes it on the top 10 list for me as far as skill based DJ's in my opinion.
The music and style is really not my cup of tea, but huge respect for James after watching this. He’s clearly worked very hard to get to where he is and I dread to think the hours that man must spend setting cues and loops in record box.
I have alot of respect for djs who prepare sets. I just turn my system on, throw on a record and go from there sure, I have to be dead on with track selection on the fly, but guys who can prepare 4 deck sets are on another level
I"m DONE. I never even imagined. You really gonna put in some work but just listening to the hot cues... I heard 3 other arraignments that are possible!!! WoW!! Thanks! And then QUANTIZE for the joint! I gotta lot of work to do!
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.
This was a great interview and tutorial. More I watch James Hype versus some other DJs the more I like. So much planning, practice and creativity. Smooth transitions are great but with the new DJ tools available I love to see the creative stuff! Keep smashing it man 👌🏻
What he says about learning from open format djing... its all about reading the crowd and learning from that. Was the hardest part of djing live learning. Love this video
I First saw James Hype on a short video on Ticktock back 2 yrs ago and i thought OMG who is this guy. Best dj i have ever seen apart from Carl Cox and the late Tony De Vit.
So I have been watching dj videos and gears and production like non stop for a month now, first now I noticed James , hats of man, I was just getting this overwhelmed feeling and now the fish is back in the water. Just awesome thanks for inspiring me back-on-track.
So cool to see the stuff I do on my 400 is exactly the same as what James does but on 4 decks, honestly makes me feel satisfied with my own improvement over the years, biggup James for making me want to dj again 💪
I like how this man has really disproven the traditional notion (which I'd believed for years) that one must first be well-versed in the culture to become great. What he did have is the sense to respect and learn the culture as he went, now he's world class and well deserves it!
I have been using this format for djing over the past 5 years ....but with NI .... his proformances have made me look at pioneer again.... I completely get what he's doing
Live DJing this way is real. Hate prerecording DJ’s. A DJ is a real DJ when he is vulnerable for error. I prefer vinyl and do not like overly using effects, but hey you rock and have skills doing it live: respect.
in another video he analysis, he explained he made a mistake by missing to run a deck on time and then he had to change his routine in real time with public on his back; no one noticed the error, the result was flawless. this dude is really skilled
I haven't dj'd since 1210s (yep, it was a long time ago) but saw a video of him and wondered how he dj's sans headphones on 4. Some serious skillz there. 👏 as much live bootleg remixing as mixing. If it can be mastered allows so much creativity and freedom. Hats off.
Read an interview the other day where he talks about wearing IEMs when playing live, he has the master in one ear and the cue in the other. Edit - Nevermind, he covers it in this video!
I used to think James Hype was a clown. But as I watched him, it was I who is the clown for thinking that in the first place. Hype fam forever! He is the truth.
WHEN HE WILL REACH THAT TOP 10 ? Even he says (in another interview) that's not the most important thing he deserves that spot, he has been working harder than any one and skills are dope.
Huge fan of James! What a performer. Thanks for the vid! (Found it two years too late LOL). (Greetings from 60yr old techno dj and learned to mix on the Technics SL 1210 MK2 😂)
It is really informative video and thanks for DJ Mag team and James Hype for this inside look. I appreciate. But as a producer, I'd like to mention about something. When James played all decks together, although they're compatible to each other, it made me feel it's too crowded, and there's no room for frequencies, then in course of video, when I looked at the frequency knobs, I realized all mid frequencies were tweaked to the right side which take up space of the frequencies. So I'd like to recommend for James to arrange the knobs not only according to harmonic compatibility but also to frequency levels. I wouldn't call myself a DJ yet, I'm more focused on producing currently, I'll practice DJing later on in course of time like James did, I mean James Hype is much much better DJ than me and also even better than most of the big DJs currently but it is what it is. I think what I've told was worth to mention. Thanks.

James Hype is one of the most humblest guys ive meet, hes come so far! LETS GO HYPE FAM!
Deffo! I thought he was American! 😂
He is down to Earth and has got skills. He works very hard. I purchased the Digital Dj Tips course and he is very open with sharing so many things he's learnt. His style might not be for all dj's but he does instill confidence for using and know your way around the decks.
Thanks! I am truly grateful to be here!
Learned so much in this one! Loving this series!
Big fan learned so much from u as well ... 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
Hey Carlo big fan
James is a legend, bit like yourself carlos
love from indonesia
I learned a few things from your videos. Thanks for the effort!
Finally!!!! The master has exposed himself!!!

James does a lottttt of prep work. He doesnt improv his sets at all, and thats okay. hes amazing at what he does.
Dj mag award should be given to this guy.
True !
Imagine a world where awards were given to people who actually meet the criteria for said award.
How is this man not much bigger, humble and great mixing and remixing skills
Cuz the musics cheese af
He destroys great tracks but like he says at The beginning of the video
This didn’t age well. James hype is poppin of. 2 sets at EDC this May. And #1 song rn
@@coryclark3784 Hell yeah
@@stanyon Spotify charts say otherwise...
Absolute legend. Genuinely down to earth guy. Proper northerner. Class act
haha up north crew
Yes brother
A five hour gig and he said he showed up with like 40 tracks. I love that. I have a whole new respect for him. I knew he was good but he is also very normal and humble.
In my opinion the best DJ in these days. Most of the DJs only focus in produce music but he has a great technique.

I tought I was the only DJ using the "mono split" haha
Now there is someone I can relate to !
What a legend
Its not that complicated, its all about a good musical ear and being well preparated. I think James Hype is one of the best DJs because he's making that work before every set!
I have never seen anyone manipulate so much music in such a short space of time ,absolutly tremendous 👏

Yep
Crazy
It's because the Top 100 DJ list is a popularity contest and has nothing to do with mixing skill unfortunately
@@fitz_nz ikr thats right

This dude is mental haha The fact he has the master on the right and mix on the left ear is crazy haha mad respect!
plus the fuckin monitors on each side....

The level of professionalism and passion this due brings to his craft. Much respect
That is next level. My brain is fried trying to keep up with how he’s was doing that
He's really good explaining everything. Seems like a chill guy
He's the best REAL DJ out there...
Change my mind.

Didn't learn anything new but felt every bit of that, especially sorting things out without the internet.
This was a great interview and tutorial. More I watch James Hype versus some other DJs the more I like. So much planning, practice and creativity. Smooth transitions are great but with the new DJ tools available I love to see the creative stuff! Keep smashing it man 👌🏻
he knows what it is supposed to be about. its not just playing some song, its a MIX.
Ok so basically he’s like 20 seconds into the mix and he’s already playing all 4 decks... Monstrous!
ikr
ikr
And I haven't seen him touch the sliders whatsoever, so he's using technology to beatmatch for him or using the same bpms.
@@paolom.6011 He only uses quantize, no sync in sight
@@LezGõr of course he uses sync
I never get bored watching this guy play. He’s class 👌🏻
DJ Hype is one of the most talented DJ's alive! His style & skills are beyond this world!
James Hype is an incredibly talented artist. Very informative! Keep it moving JH!
What he says about learning from open format djing... its all about reading the crowd and learning from that. Was the hardest part of djing live learning. Love this video
So much buildup for a simple drop, but none the less very impressive
met this dude before he played club liv after watching his tutorials/streams for a long time. such a genuine dude and so extremely talented.
I First saw James Hype on a short video on Ticktock back 2 yrs ago and i thought OMG who is this guy. Best dj i have ever seen apart from Carl Cox and the late Tony De Vit.

Sick!! Please keep doing these and tell DJs to tell more stories of their beginnings, I find them extremely valuable and inspiring!
oh my god that's mad, so he basically remixes tunes and layers on the spot. That's a fresh take on DJing I love
So cool to see the stuff I do on my 400 is exactly the same as what James does but on 4 decks, honestly makes me feel satisfied with my own improvement over the years, biggup James for making me want to dj again 💪
buy DDJ-800, it feels very PRO with faders and buttons, also way more better sound.
Same here I'm 43 and he got me bck into mixing a year ago. Big up the hype fam.👍👍👍
Enjoyed watching the actual mix the 2nd time round more watching for all the little things James was talking about here!
Thanks for the opportunity to learn from James Hype 🔥🔥🔥
The older i get the more i appreciate James Hype and his skillset
I like how this man has really disproven the traditional notion (which I'd believed for years) that one must first be well-versed in the culture to become great.
What he did have is the sense to respect and learn the culture as he went, now he's world class and well deserves it!
He's actually really good at explaining 😂
I remember watching DJ trixx mix with 4 decks in a club in NI, using vinyl… mind blown😵💫
FINALLY THE VIDEO I WAS WAITING FOR!
This dude knows his craft. Props.
18 minutes of pure gold!
Im a techno dj and defo not a fan of the genres he plays but this guy technically is imo like one of the best in the world
Machines have brought Djing to another place..It certainly gives DJs way more time to dance,jump around,and have their own fun.
I have been using this format for djing over the past 5 years ....but with NI .... his proformances have made me look at pioneer again.... I completely get what he's doing
I love hearing more in depth about James hype so awesome!
James, you are a Musician. Respect
James Hype.

This is REAL DJ, be the inspiration for the New and the old too, congratulations for the great job in mixing... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

What a lovely guy, totally frank, right on the button and a great way of explaining things...
James is another level
Agreed!
I don’t think I’ve ever said this before…what a great video and what a great guy! Thanks to everyone that made this happen 🙏
Damn, I only used like 3 - 4 out of 8 hot cues cause I'm not gonna remember everything 😂 You are legend 👍🏻
Finally. True mastery and passion🔥🔥🔥
Huge fan of James! What a performer. Thanks for the vid! (Found it two years too late LOL). (Greetings from 60yr old techno dj and learned to mix on the Technics SL 1210 MK2 😂)

Damn, I like James hype even more after this video! This dudes real. Love it.
unbelievable DJ, he's wired differently
Not only ridiculously good, but seems like a decent guy too. Great video!
Best Dj on deck scene rn !
There not decks
Excellent use of the CDJ's!
The skills of this man- insane!
Yeah I’ll never be able to do any of this how he does it. The guy is an absolute master at his craft.
This is a Real DJ! Respect for this guy!
REAL DJ IS WITH TURNTABLES TOO!!
This setup costs more than my car 🤣
about 2.5 per deck not sure bout the mixer
One deck is worth more than my car...
Congratulations James, and DJMag... okay the top100 is a Popular votation, but James is the Best Dj in the World 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Really insightful video. I’ve taken a lot from this James.
James is an amazing DJ 🙌🙌🙌
Thanks so much for this! James Hype uses the decks like no other
Yesssss Lets goooooooo 💜🔥💜🔥💜🔥💜🔥💜🔥💜🔥
MY INSPIRATION! JAMES HYPE BTCH.
why is nobody complaining about professioneal djs try to get over the headroom of each mixer. man. stay in green.
1st thing I noticed.... rookie mistake, lol
This was absolutely amazing!
Now this is content!
Most underrated proper mixing dj who just blows up party scenes...!
The mix is insane
Wicked!! Love James. Just discovered him a few weeks ago on a Pioneer DJ episode during lock down. 🥳
