  Meduza

  MEDUZA have spent the year leading the charge in returning house music to daytime radio, with great success.

  Their debut release, ‘Piece Of Your Heart’ featuring Goodboys, has now seen over 2 billion streams globally, reaching double platinum (1.2m units) in the UK alone and peaking at #2 on the Official UK Charts. This trend has followed Meduza globally, with multi Diamond, Platinum and Gold certifications around the world and a GRAMMY nomination. The follow up, ‘Lose Control’ with Goodboys and Becky Hill, has made an unprecedented impact, reaching the UK Top40 in its first week, now notching upward of 2 billion cumulative streams, reaching Gold sales in the UK in less than 4 months and fast approaching double platinum as of now.

  These headline successes are also bolstered by an impressive catalogue of hand picked remixes for the likes of MK, R+, Dermot Kennedy and John Legend, displaying not only Meduza’s signature sound and energy, but also the raw ability to create a stand out release whenever called upon.

  The touring diary for Meduza showed an almost insatiable demand for the hottest act in dance music, with Fabric (London), Elrow, TOFFLER (Rotterdam) and Warehouse Project (Manchester) to name but a few key venues and events scaling the globe from Europe, North and South America and Asia to seek out the genre leading Meduza sound. Meduza are set to become one of the most in demand acts when the touring returns.

  James Hype

  James Hype had spent his early career cutting his teeth amongst the club circuits in the North of England. His high energy DJ sets and forward thinking production, fusing the urban music world with house and garage, are propelling him to the attention of the major players in the music industry, as proven by his official remix duties on OT Genasis ‘Cut It’ and Yo Gotti ‘Down in the DMs’.

  His ‘Hotline Bling’ Remix has amassed over 2 million plays, and countless downloads to boot, which helped James in going viral by way of the music identification app, Shazam. With this, and gaining major support throughout the roster of BBC Radio One, James had pretty much got everyone’s attention, sealing club shows including Sankeys, Ibiza, BCM, Mallorca, Surrender, Las Vegas and Proud, London. Heading into 2016, James has already notched up an exclusive mix on Mistajam’s peak time show on Radio One, and appeared on Kiss FM as well as his major label remix duties. With the iHeartRadio Urban Remix of the year award to add to a fast moving and impressive resume, the name is living up to the hype.
