Hailing from Manchester, England producer and DJ Louis Richardson, known by his alias Hypho, is at the forefront of a new generation of UK artists. Through his versatile DJ sets ranging from 100-160 BPM, and his own productions; combining elements of dubstep, techno, garage, and the like, Hypho has created an undeniable signature sound.
In 2019, Hypho founded his own label Manuka Records, with the goal of showcasing new talent from across Europe and the USA. With a catalog of releases featuring artists such as Ternion Sound, Sukh Knight, Chef Boyarbeatz, and more, Manuka aims to showcase different music and styles from artists that they might not release elsewhere, thus exposing its audience to these fresh sounds.
Hypho’s music has found homes on prestigious imprints such as Deep, Dark & Dangerous, Swamp81, and EC2A, among countless others, only further showcasing his versatility as a producer. As his reputation has grown, it is no surprise that Hypho has toured extensively around the world, performing in clubs and festivals in Europe, the Americas, and Asia.
