LOCSmiley | New from the breaks corner for Ministry of Sound is UK wonder DJ Hyper. Mixing up two discs of the latest and greatest in broken beats, he does two discs of new school, both quirky and geared towards a good wiggle on the dancefloor.
There are lots of familiar names on the tracklist - Plump DJs, Planet Funk, Infusion with the fabulous "Legacy", General Midi, a stellar George Clinton sample (props to Andy Page) and Hyper himself. Proving himself to be as talented a producer as he is a DJ, Hyper's tracks stand up solidly against those of his peers, a cheeky remix of Sugarabes pumping up the second half.
While disc one and disc two are different in subtle ways, there's no dramatic shift in mood or tempo from one to the other. Favouring deep, progressive sounds, each mix is routed in an infectious groove, while not overladen with samples, tricks or repetitive hooks.
A little moody, a little funky, this is a great mix of better known tunes with kooky sounds, excellent track selection and a dash of rock for good measure - this offering from Hyper should be getting us pretty excited about his return Australian trip. Bring it! Or should that be Break it!
To celebrate the release of Hypers latest mix CD on Ministry of Sound the man himself is returning to Adelaide for a one off night of breakbeat mayhem.
anyone who has seen him the last two times he has been in adelaide will know that this is breakbeat at its best. If ya love the breaks dished up at Fabric or by groups like Infusion and Nubreed then this night will definately be for you.
Hyper will be appearing on Sunday May the 16th. Stay tuned for more details.
