Few DJs or producers could claim to be as active and committed to their music as London’s DJ Hype. Gaining experience as part of the Heatwave Soundsystem (part of Shut Up & Dance). He’s built sound systems, A&R’ed for Kickin’ Records, worked with both indies and majors, and hosted radio shows on the seminal Fantasy FM and Kiss. Hype has pioneered drum ‘n’ bass worldwide, fearlessly presenting all forms of the music to as many people as possible.

Dubplate Killaz, DJ Hype’s latest project, features 20 brand new tracks and remixes from some of the main players of the drum ‘n’ bass massive, including Hazard, J-Majik & Wickaman, Potential Bad Boy, Pascal & Monty, Majistrate, UK Apache and Hype himself as well as Simon "Bassline" Smith and Shimon on the remix front.

5.0 out of 5 stars Up to date DnB, April 8, 2006

Hype and his Ganja label are on the hard side of DnB. No Jazz, no ambient, no latin sounds, no funk, its pure DnB with 180 BPM from beginning to end. Technically, Hype has the reputation to be the best DnB-DJ. His trademarks are a very fat bassline, and his amazing scratching-abilities. Of course, all of that is present on this CD.

Dubplate Killaz is a selection of songs which were all brand new when it came out, and all of them have become dancefloor classics since then. You can say that it is a very up to date selection, because this is pretty much how DnB sounds at the moment.

Many of the hard stuff coming out these days sounds very repetitive and becomes quite anoying when you listen to it outside of a club. It is the ability of Hype never to slow down and never to mix in anything soft, but not to be repetitive at the same time, which makes this album a 5-star album. Just when you think its getting boring he mixes in some reggae-sounds or some MC-ing and it fits perfectly.

Additionally you will find some of the best DnB songs of the recent years, such as "look to the future", "gimme de gal", You're mine", "Crowd says reload" or "sun is shining bright". If you like the harder stuff and want to have a very up-to-date selection of DnB, this is a must have, maybe the best album of its kind.

Dj Hype is probalay one of my favorite Dj's for Drum n bass/jungle music, and this album proves why. Dubplate Killaz is probalay the best drum n bass albums out. First of all, all the music is fast paced. Once you listen to this album you won't put it down seriously, the beats are killer especially with songs like "Gimme da gal", "Look to the future', "crowd says reload", "dubplate killaz", "you must think first" and "you're mine". seriously if you like DnB you cannot miss this album.
