James Hype shares new single “Don’t Wake Me Up,” a soaring, synth-driven anthem. Listen now via Island EMI.
James Hype, one of the UK’s most forward-thinking international DJs, returns with a massive new release: “Don’t Wake Me Up,” out now via Island EMI. The track is a high-energy, euphoric banger built around sweeping synths and a delicate, dreamlike vocal that’s sure to become a staple on festival stages and club floors.
“‘Don’t Wake Me Up’ is the song I’ve been trying to write for almost 10 years,” Hype shares. “When I drop it in sets, people react like they’ve known it for years. It feels like an evolution of all the music I’ve made up until this point.”
Known for genre-pushing production and electrifying DJ sets, Hype has been making major moves in 2025. Last month, he revived his wildly popular live streams—first launched during lockdown—with high-energy sets every Friday on YouTube. Fans around the world tuned in for these immersive virtual performances. 
Hype also announced the return of “Our House,” his collaborative residency with Meduza. After a successful run in Hï Ibiza’s Club Room, the concept will now take over the main Theatre every Monday from June through September—promising a heightened production and unforgettable energy.
As one of the most in-demand names in dance music, James Hype continues to evolve while staying true to his roots. With more new music and major UK headline shows on the horizon, “Don’t Wake Me Up” marks the start of a massive year.
