At
the tentative age of 24, DJ Hyper
aka Guy Hatfield has already had
an impressive journey through the
world of the music industry -
from his first job at Sony which
he landed shortly after his
arrival in London from the
provincial Shire known as
Lincoln, to setting up his own
record promotion company,
Waxworks; where he forged lasting
relationships with the likes of
PuSH, TCR and Hybrid in the early
days through to DJ residencies at
Tyrant, Bedrock@Heaven and
HiRise@home, and more recently
compiling and mixing Y3K - hailed
as the most important breaks
album to date, though this could
be set to change with the release
of Bedrock Breaks - the latest
compilation to get the Hyper
treatment.
I
caught up with breaks' very own
Frodo on the eve of possibly his
biggest challenge yet, the launch
of his own imprint Kilowatt - the
next step in helping him fulfil
his aim of spreading the word of
breaks and converting the house
hordes to a new accessible style
of music, and possibly world
breakbeat domination. Whatever
happens next in this story you
can be sure that it's all a far
cry from manufacturing garden
sheds in Lincoln...
