Why do some dj”s pretend they are twiddling knobs and buttons on the mixer when I can see they are not actually doing anything,just play the choon ,u can be a great selector with no great technical skillz ,your crowd will still love you 😇👍🏻🔉
After 17 years of not making music I am happy to say that I am finally back into the habit of producing in studio regually ,I am enjoying it again and it’s great !! …releases later this year ..watch this space 👍🏻🔈
I am at festival in france tonight but it’s cancelled due to bad weather …but ..I am going to dj for the staff that were working there ..I am
the only dj doing this ..I am going to play two hour set of reggae,dub,jungle,drum
and bass 😇💪🏻
I will be back to my fucked up self from next week,,been going thru some stuff in the last year but I am happy to say I feel back onnit and ready to embrace everything fully again —-apologies to all for the slip but I am only human 🔥🙏🎧🎧🙏🔥thanx and have a great week
i didn’t give a flying fuck about mainstream ,i didn’t care about earning money from music ,i didn’t care about other dj’s ,i just believed in what i did and loved it ...music saved me from from following a path of destruction as in my teens ,,and now it’s saving me again !
Jungle Fever Sanctuary Milton 1994-Playing Shut Up dance aka Redlight Soundboy killing Dubplates and loads of specials that I had made for Fever events made it very exciting and inspiring —-Smoking Ganja and playing Metal Dubplates was my thing ❤️
I have to admit I am a mummy’s boy and I love looking after her in older age ,it has made me happy to have been able to take the strain away and make late years more comfortable ,especially now she has parkinson’s disease,u only get 1 mum ,cherish her and love her ❤️❤️
Rolling out some drum and bass down the Playaz Dungeon and still learning to cut and scratch using cdjs ,i don’t get to practice much but it’s still fun learning again 🎧
For the last couple of weeks I have been fighting the dreaded Covid ….I am finally on my way to making a full recovery and should be back to normal in the next …it’s a nasty thing trust me ! 😇💯
I don’t know if anyone will even like my productions but I am just doing what I like without thinking of what other people will think as I am happier working this way in my organically grown world,at the tender age of 53 years old I feel like it’s all new again
#BackProducing
I am gonna remix Peace❤️Unity and possibly remix & We Unite as The messages in those two tracks I made back in 1995 /6 still stand true today and no one really listens do they ..but hey ..that’s the human race ain’t it ❤️💯
I thought i was a strong fucker ,,and i kept strong when Leon passed away ,,i did my best in any way i could for Leon and his family ,tonight i am sitting here crying my eyes out ,i think it’s hit me harder than i realised ...DeathIsNotTheEnd❤️
The 3 day Lu Jardin Du Michel Festival in France🇫🇷got cancelled because of bad weather and I went there and done a two hour Reggae/Jungle/DnB set for the staff and volunteers workers from the festival …I was the only Dj here 😜❤️
25 years ago I made this track and used a Malcom X sample ,,25 years on and everyone it stupid land are not even trying to get along …the message is simple and still applies …the best way to get along is to look at what you have in common and embrace it
#WeUnite
anyone that’s been in this game long like me if they admit it or not will go thru periods with loss of confidence or they lose heart or they just think their getting old ,the skill is to override that bit if ya brain & move on ,if you do it with love then you can’t go wrong !
I had been out the loop for six months of this lockdown ignoring the jungle drum and bass scene dealing with my own demons then two weeks ago with trying and by accident really I changed my whole lifestyle and stopped smoking for the Forrest time properly in probably 30 years
We lost Mc Fats last year and already there is some one copying his name…..we built
this scene over years and years and years …don’t destroy the legacy of Mc Fats ..❤️….Come on Ffs …No respect ..
Today I am at hospital with my mum as she suffers from parkinson’s disease for the last few years plus she suffers from bad pains in legs and back …everything else is on pause when she needs me …..

@mcsingingfats

Shouts to Mc Fats who is recovering from covid …he is isolating atm and i am bringing him my home cooked food to keep his strength up ,he is a inspiration to me in the way he handles everything he goes thru !❤️💯

love this photo from My Kiss Radio days with
@McdetUk
and
@djbrockie
,they look kool as always and i look like Del Trotter from Only Fools and Horses😂😂
At 15 years old I would ride round hackney on a bmx looking for empty houses to hold illegal parties playing reggae,hip hop ,soul,rare groove,etc,daddy earl would reggae mc I would scratch and mix and smiley and Pj would rap ,we were called a yout sound by other sounds because..
These days Turntable’s are just not practicle for Djing out live so I use Cdjs but although they are easy peasy for mixing I find them awkward for scratching ..I think i need to start practicing more 👍🏻
Please understand everyone ,,I ain’t trying to recreate 1994 again !! Ffs...I am just trying to raise my standard and enjoy myself again vibing and trying to be original ..🤪🤪🤪🎧🎧🎧💯🙏
I am just vibing atm and enjoy this musical journey I am travelling on …I started out in 1981 at the age of 13 with 1-turntable on a sponge & a self built reggae sound called Sir Lena ,in 2021 I am 53 years old & STILL going strong !!

I must say I am blown away by all of the positive messages of support since I fixed up and started this Playaz Dungeon thing ...I am just trying to raise the standard of drum and bass jungle and also mix with other genres to so what will happen next in...
like i said before ,,for the first time in a long time i am the person i was at the beginning of my career ...where i don’t give a flying fuck what anyone thought and just did my thing ...it’s that time again and it’s great ..if u ain’t in it then get the fuck of my pages ✊🏻✊🏻💯

This is us at music house but i was with Leon and his family more in the last couple of months in any way i could right up to the very end and although i am heartbroken at his passing ,i am also glad he is finally at peace not suffering any more 💕❤️💕💯💯💯
this lockdown is crap ,but the one thing it has done is reset my DNA and made me love music for music again ,everything i am doing at the moment is out of love and passion..after all that’s how i started as a kid ...
All I need to do is straighten out couple things,help some friends in need and draw a line in the sand ,and correct history
As sometimes I felt like my full story and legacy is sometimes overlooked while the false prophets re write jungle drum and bass history! Not on my watch
All my life I have
listened to different viewpoints from different people about different subjects,and then I make my own mind up regardless of subject,that’s all I meant by free thinking ❤️
Just a quick note to everyone that thought I had gone mad because a I posted about me crying over a friend who was very ill ,,let me assure you ,I am feel better in myself than I have ever felt in probably 20 years ....i am not mad ,just ask the voices in my head 😂😂😂😂
The guy who called himself Fats is changing his name and is going to issue a apology post …he is young and didn’t know ..don’t be hard him as I was sent a respectful and I think honest message from him ..❤️
finally got my appetite back after losing a stone in weight due to covid ,today i ate for lunch. -1 bowl of satsumas/watermelon /blueberries along side home cooked hypestyle 2 portions of jerk salmon with vegetable rice and two jacket potatoes and still felt hungry-
#recovering
i did do the worst clang out when i tried to double drop two tracks but my fingers hit the pich control throwing one track out of time right at the drop …I kept a poker face …”and that folks was Dj Hypes clang of the week “ hope you enjoyed it ! 😂😂😂
please people ,i love you all but don’t tag me into any of your covid views good or bad because i really don’t care ,we all have views and i respect everyone’s choice to make there own mind up but leave me out of it pleeeeease!❤️
my heart goes out to all of you that have lost anyone recently,i don’t think there has been a time in my life when so many people around me have died in a short space of time and not just covid ...❤️💯
I can’t sleep ,I am lying here crying tears (yes I do cry sometimes)as I just got the most tragic and awful news about a good friend of mine and I am lost in what to say or do ,sending love and more love and more love out to him
I really need to start doing a podcast Where I just chat and maybe have guests ..been saying I am gonna do it for the last 3 years but never get enuff time ..but sooner or later it’s coming ,I love to express myself verbally not my typing
tonight me and
@Wooxstar
who I class as family celebrated the life of his late brother Leon thru music down the Dungeon “Respect with manners “ -Leon chue- 🔉💕🔉💕🙏🙏🔉
It’s lovely but quite strange that lately more people than usual keep stopping me in the street saying “I am not being funny but are you ….Dj ….Hype?”.Last week at the same time ,i had a 16 year old dnb fan,a 42 year old israeli drummer & a 23 year old dnb head/musician ❤️💯
