James Hype Shares Anthemic New Single “Don’t Wake Me Up”

James Hype drops new single “Don’t Wake Me Up,” a euphoric anthem perfect for 2025’s biggest stages.

James Hype kicks off 2025 with a massive new single: “Don’t Wake Me Up,” out now via Island EMI. Known for his high-impact live sets and genre-defying production, Hype delivers once again with a euphoric, vocal-driven anthem made for peak-time dance floors.

Featuring swelling synths and an atmospheric vocal hook, “Don’t Wake Me Up” taps into the emotional and sonic highs that have made Hype a global standout. “This is the song I’ve been trying to write for almost 10 years,” he 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 one of dance music’s most forward-facing figures, Hype has built a dedicated online audience. His recently relaunched Friday livestreams on YouTube, a callback to his lockdown-era sets, have helped fans re-engage with his sound in a big way.

Also returning this year is “Our House,” his collaborative residency with Meduza. The popular concept will now command the main Theatre at Hï Ibiza for 16 weeks this summer—elevating the show’s impact and reach.

With more releases and UK festival dates to come, Hype’s rise shows no signs of slowing.
