DJ Hype started his career as a member of the sound system scene in London, playing at local parties and clubs. He then joined the Fantasy FM radio station, where he hosted his own show and became known for his eclectic mix of styles.

In 1993, DJ Hype founded his own record label, Ganja Records, which became one of the most influential labels in the drum and bass genre. He has also released several albums on other labels, including "Drum and Bass Selection USA" and "Fabriclive.18".

DJ Hype is known for his high-energy mixing style, which incorporates scratching, cutting, and blending tracks on the fly. He is also known for his production skills, and has produced many classic drum and bass tracks, such as "Roll the Beats" and "Dubplate Killa".

In addition to his work as a DJ and producer, DJ Hype has also been involved in radio broadcasting. He has hosted several shows on Kiss FM and BBC Radio 1, and has used his platform to promote new and emerging talent in the drum and bass scene.

DJ Hype continues to be active in the music industry today, and is considered one of the most influential figures in the UK drum and bass scene. He has won numerous awards for his contributions to the genre, including Best Drum and Bass DJ at the National Drum and Bass Awards in 2020.

Fantasy FM started broadcasting from North London in August 1989 on 98.6 FM. They played Acid, Rave & Hardcore music, all of which was massive at the time, and was also dominating the mainstream music charts too, during the time Fantasy was on air.

During the early part of 1990, Fantasy changed frequency to 98.1 FM, which would remain their spot on the FM dial until they closed down in 1991. The reason for them closing down was so they could start broadcasting on Cable TV, which was new here in the UK at the time and was also carrying radio stations, although this plan never materialised in the end. They were also planning to apply for some new incremental FM licenses that the government at the time were due to advertise.

Fantasy had many DJ’s such as Hype, Krone, Rap, Spice, Tek and The Mystery Man. All the presenters had their own styles, some preferred to mix live on air with very little speech, others you’re more standard type of presenter, reading out requests/shout-outs etc, most of which came in via pager at the time.

Fantasy also used to hold rave nights at the Astoria nightclub in Charing Cross, London WC2. Some of the DJ’s who played at these events were Fabio & Grooverider, Colin Favor & Randall, as well as Fantasy DJ’s. These Rave nights carried on after the station had closed down in 1991.
