Jose 2 Hype

Profile:
Jose Gutierrez a.k.a. "Jose 2 Hype", DJ Extraordinaire, is a native of Illinois. He was influenced during the latter half of the Disco era which established his love for music. Upon moving to Guadalajara, Mexico (1983), he began his DJ career. Spinning four years at a prominent nightclub, he relocated to Las Vegas. Jose found himself spinning parties of all kinds. By 1990, he found his opportunity in something he could relate to: The Techno-Rave scene, thus "Jose 2 Hype" was born.

And so it began, he became one of the pioneers to break the Rave culture in the City of Sin, spinning at literally hundreds of raves locally and across the country. Shortly after, Jose 2 Hype began producing tracks such as the "Jose 2 Hype E.P." which appeared under his own independent label "2 HYPE RECORDS". The success of tracks like "Move Dat Culito," "Jax Back" and "Clap Your Hands" paved the way for getting signed with and representing one of the most influential "Hard House" record labels known at that time as "UNDERGROUND CONSTRUCTION."(Chicago) Via this medium, Jose presented to the dance community cuts like "Jack Attack" and "Dance Your Ass Off."

Jose 2 Hype's producing and remixing skills then led him to produce for other labels as well, "RENEGADE RECORDS" (Chicago) "PEERLESS" (Mexico) and most recently, "SHOCK RECORDS" (UK), with the release of "54 Pick Up"& "Go Off", some of his most successful tracks to date. Many of these titles have been featured on internationally known DJ mix compilations and have been sold throughout the world. Presently, Jose 2 Hype is a resident DJ @ the world famous Studio 54 which is located inside the "MGM GRAND" in Las Vegas. "54" features a state of the art "Turbo Sound" system, a symphony of lights and the best dance music to be heard in the city of Las Vegas. Jose continues to DJ, produce and remix traxx for domestic, as well as, international record labels.
