See a lot of DJ’s these days throwing out these pre recorded sets and touching the knobs like they’re actually making the music. Been watching your stuff and realise how talented you are and this is what proper djing is 👏🏻

[@JamesHype]

Thanks man appreciate the comment!

[@miszanpok4903]

yeah, he is on another lvl!!!!

[@AdornationMusic]

It could be you're seeing not djs but artists who are also djs and in their sets they don't dj like james hype which is great but that's not the point.. some artists are more of producers than DJ so they are just promoting their music album performing a mix that doesn't necessarily mean they are bad artists.. i hope you understand what's actually going on when you see a artist perform on festivals or clubs.. 👍

[@tedboss8714]

FUCK YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@danielbennet8863]

​@@AdornationMusicvery true, and it might seem that many other djs are only touching knobs but its a lot harder than we think.

[@AlexHobson]

So sick man, You deserve all the success that's coming your way [and already has]

[@JamesHype]

thankyou man!!! Love

[@benjaminblackburn7715]

You was inspired by David Guetta, Calvin Harris, Martin Garrix, Armin Van Buuren, Tiesto, Afrojack, Kygo, Fedde Le Grand, Galantis, Lost Frequencies, Armand van Helden, Alesso, Kungs, Michael Calfan, Bob Sinclar, Jax Jones, Philip George, Duke Dumont,

[@benjaminblackburn7715]

UK have good DJ's

[@benjaminblackburn7715]

Do you know David Guetta

[@kostastsesmelis2445]

Been Djiing for many years now. Back then, there were no softwares... It was the beginning of them and we were bullying at them. Everything was about real time mixing and blending (with cd's and vinyls)... And playing music from different genres. All about for us, was and is for entertaining the crowd. And you my friend, got the entertainer's DNA. I like the way you work on these decks and manipulate them bro. You give meaning to all these knobs and faders that are forgotten from other djs. Crowd wants a DJ who interacts with them. Most DJs/Producers go on stage and they act like, someone said something sad to them. No dance to the rhythm, no energy from them. Just mixing two songs together. Its been a long time since I've seen a dj, doing proper djiing/entertaining. Bring back real Djiing. Greetings from Greece.

[@burningdeckscrew1001]

Μπράβο ρε μάγκα, που μπορείς και του το αναγνωρίζεις...γιατί ως γνωστόν εμείς οι Έλληνες DJ's είμαστε πολύ κομπλεξικοί με αυτά τα θέματα... όχι ότι συγκρίνω κάποιον με τον James, αλλά πλέον όλοι πάνε για το μεροκάματο και όχι για να διασκεδάσουν τον κόσμο...

[@JamesHype]

Excited to get this short film out and tell some more of my story so far! Biggup Max and Dania for putting this together!

[@benjaminblackburn7715]

[@myleftside1]

I was at Republik Liverpool around 5-6 years ago, on one of your up and coming nights, followed you ever since.

[@JamesHype]

Good times mate!!

[@kaizzab]

Always remember playing that Hotline Bling remix at House Parties a few years back, great to see the progression that you've made from that to working with Craig David, deserve every praise thats coming to ya 😊

[@JamesHype]

Yo! You've been here since early man! Thank you!

[@Juicylynx]

You really inspire me ! I’m now a bedroom Dj with a DDJ 200 and I hope I become like you !!

[@funkdahouseoficial]

I've been following your things from here and I've fallen more and more in love with your sound and your work! As I said in another video ... the world needs real djs... Djs that they literally mix and not only pass music like i sad before and another video... This is a Art! Here from Brazil you already have one more fan! I'll be playing as much as I can with your tracks and giving people out the good music! Congratulations!

[@haydnr1631]

Love your energy and the way you interact with the crowd. Thanks for sharing that energy online. Enjoyed lots of your mixes, tutorials and reviews this year and looking forward to more! Happy 2020!

[@Febs86]

👏 Brilliant my brother, this guy is at another level. Your story is such an inspiration to me, you deserve all the success you achieved thus far and the many success still to come your way. Keep up the good work, greetings from me all the way from Cape Town South Africa.

[@pricejoss]

Go on James! Awesome to see you rising to the top and watching homegrown talent smash it. Proper turntablism for the digital generation.

[@Thewhitewhale10]

I used to DJ years ago and got so pissed off with these DJ's playing commercial radio edits and pressing play. I gave up. You've inspired me to come back and start working again, first set again is next Sat. Time to start again. Boom. Keep doing what you're doing. Fucking exceptional.

[@JamesHype]

Good luck 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@Djneyon79]

Bro if you’ve never been discouraged in development at some point this shit ain’t for you. I’d rather take it now then be be well known and quit glad your back bro! Keep banging

[@opensolaris6218]

stop worrying about others, focus on yourself, gigs don't matter if you don't have an actual product to offer..

[@MobilediscowirralCoUk]

[@rachidow2125]

It’s never to late. Especially with producing or djing, the age doesn’t matter. The skills matter. Best DJ in the world was David Guetta. That legend is almost 60! 😅

[@RedExtremeYT]

I hope one day I can do what he is doing ...
