Biography

Marc Hype

Marc Hype began his DJ career, inspired by the late great Jam Master Jay, in 1988 and went through the several decades of hip hop with countless releases, tours and competitions like the ITF championships, which he won twice in 98 & 99.  During this time he collaborated and recorded with artists like the Juice Crew legend Masta Ace, Souls Of Mischief, DJ Z-Trip, Killa Kela & Mr. Lif.  Over the years his record collection and his musical mind expanded and led him to all kinds of funky music. His selection on the decks as on production is freestyle, always with a unique groove whatever the genre.

DJ WORDY

DJ Wordy stands atop the ever-growing DJ world as the only 3 x China DMC Champion. Not content with past accolades, however, Wordy continues to push himself and elevate his craft beyond borders to truly rank among the great DJs in the world. Period.

It is no surprise, then, that Wordy has become the first DJ ever from China to get flown regularly across the globe to perform as a headliner. China’s first bona fide international DJ star. Often shattering Western stereotypes about Chinese youth culture, Wordy has rocked parties--anywhere from Hong Kong, London, Paris, Berlin, Austria, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Cologne, Amsterdam, and Jamaica--leaving crowds rapt with delight over his technical virtuosity and, just as importantly, his unique ability to control the dance floor.
