Since 2006, HiJack has become an established name in the UK’s underground house scene. His debut EP was signed to respected UK label ‘On The Brink Recordings’, gaining support from some of the house music scene’s top DJs. Three more original EPs have followed, including the hugely successful “Jackpot EP”, released on US-based label ‘Potty Mouth Music’, which topped many of the dance industry’s download charts and led to a re-release with Italian-based label, ‘Time Recordings’.
HiJack’s remix projects have also gained notable critical acclaim, and have included reworks of tracks from Majik Johnson, Lee Mortimer, DJ Dan, and Santiago & Bushido, for labels including ‘Underwater Recordings’ and ‘Brickhouse Records’.
His productions have regularly gained support from influential artists and DJs, from Moby to the Crookers, and have received frequent airplay from BBC Radio One DJs; Annie Mac, Dave Spoon, and Kissy Sellout.
HiJack’s DJ sets are known for being packed with unreleased tracks and re-edits, and have generated a large following for his online podcasts and mixes. Over the past year HiJack has performed at venues and festivals across the UK, Europe, the USA and Australia, for some of the world’s biggest dance brands including Ministry Of Sound, Gatecrasher festival, and Space.
In the coming months HiJack will be performing in new territories including South Africa and Ibiza, and will be releasing more music than ever, with new original EPs and remixes.
