Ganja Flammable T Shirt
Mens Khaki shirt with 3 colour print on the front.Available in various sizes.DJ Hypes climb to fame and success has been a long and hard one.They had one deck and built their own speaker boxes.His music career started in 1989 when he would play Hip Hop and his friend would play Reggae on a pirate station in London.When a new House radio station called Fantasy started up he managed to get a show on it in August 1989.Shirt with HYPE printed on it, so he decided to call himself DJ Hype.The first event that he played was Runtings in Cambridge Heath Road.Hype was into breakbeat and the Scientist was into Techno, Hype thought that it would be a good idea to mix the two.The Exorcist was released first selling 50,000 copies.Unfortunalty in all the write ups and interviews all the credit was going to the Scientist.Things didn't really work out as Hype was making the tunes by himself and then putting them out by himself.He would go to Da Underground where they had a studio that he would use.When it was released on Suburban Base it sold 8,000 copies reaching number 63 in the charts.The idea was that no one would know that it was DJ Hype behind the label.Tunes include: Shot In The Dark, The Trooper, You Must Think First, Hello Lover (DJ Hype Remix), R.DJ Hype Remix), True Playez's Anthem.Based on the DJ Hype interview in Eternity no.
