James Hype unleashes “Don’t Wake Me Up,” a euphoric dance anthem ready to ignite 2025. Out now via Island EMI.
James Hype, the internationally acclaimed UK DJ and producer, unveils his latest single “Don’t Wake Me Up,” a triumphant addition to his growing list of dancefloor weapons. Released via Island EMI, the track is a soaring blend of massive synths, hypnotic vocals, and Hype’s unmatched production style.
“‘Don’t Wake Me Up’ is the song I’ve been trying to write for almost 10 years,” James says. “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.”
As Hype’s first major single of 2025, “Don’t Wake Me Up” arrives during a period of continued momentum. His February YouTube livestream series reignited the buzz of his original lockdown-era sets, offering fans an intimate look at his skills behind the decks. 
He’s also reviving his joint club concept “Our House” with Meduza, which returns to Hï Ibiza this summer for a 16-week residency—this time taking over the main Theatre. With a bigger venue and elevated production, the experience is set to be unforgettable.
Following a string of international shows and chart-topping releases, “Don’t Wake Me Up” reaffirms Hype’s place as one of the most innovative forces in electronic music.
With more releases and major UK shows on the way, 2025 is shaping up to be a massive year.
