+160 presents DJ Hype (Playaz) · Open Air Buenos Aires

DJ Hype plays Argentina for the first time: +160 Drum and Bass Suite celebrates 24 years with an open-air sunset session at La Nube, Costanera Norte, Buenos Aires.

A pioneer of Jungle and Drum and Bass, Hype started out in 1980s Hackney, London, as the DJ for Heatwave, the sound system run by PJ and Smiley, later Shut Up and Dance. "You couldn't do what Hype was doing," PJ recalls. From pirate station Fantasy FM he was there on day zero of Jungle, and in 1996 he founded Playaz, the label now turning 30, home to DJ Hazard, Netsky and São Paulo's Dunk, who has already smashed it at our parties.

Over 20 awards, almost two decades of residency at Fabric and a place in the Drum&BassArena Awards Hall of Fame since 2010. "He was just a complete DJ," says DJ Marky.

At La Nube he brings his signature sound: dubplates, jump-up, cuts and live scratching.
