Title: Unforeseen Hurdles: How James Hype Turned a Tech disaster into a Memorable Show at Project Glow Festival
Performer James Hype encounters technical issues yet still manages to entertain his audience at Project Glow event.
At the pulsating Project Glow Festival in Washington D.C., DJ James Hype faced an unforeseen challenge that would put even the most veterans' nerves to a test. As the countdown to his performing slot commenced, a glaring oversight came to light – the event didn't have the specialized equipment essential for James' unique performance style. With no time to spare, James showcased his adaptability, jumping on stage for a thrilling B2B set with his fiancé, Tita Lau.
In a typical James Hype performance, the energy is palpable, fueled by his deft manipulation of hot cues and sampling with custom CDJs and samplers. Unfortunately, this time, James was unable to deliver the captivating set he had planned, as the festival lacked the necessary gear specified in his rider. It's unclear whether this unfortunate omission was a oversight by the festival or a communication breakdown among the parties involved. Regardless, the missing equipment posed a significant barrier.
Yet, amidst the hurdles, James took the opportunity to express his gratitude towards the crowd, highlighting their unwavering energy that transformed a challenging situation into a genuinely memorable one. He even acknowledged the army of fans who would undoubtedly flood his comments with comments like, "A DJ should be able to play on anything," and shared that, yes, DJs can perform on various equipment, as demonstrated by this spontaneous and electrifying collaboration. However, it's worth noting that the music he initially planned to play called for the particular equipment noted on his rider.
Life is full of unexpected curveballs, and when they're thrown your way, it's important to react, adapt, and persevere. Even in less-than-perfect circumstances, a strong connection with the audience can uplift a performance.

James Hype, posting on his social media platforms, thanked the crowd for their support and communicated his sentiment:
"DC, we turned a tech error from the festival into something pretty amazing. B2B with my fiancée on the main stage – Tita wasn't booked to play, but sometimes right place, right time works out. I'm expecting a thousand comments saying a DJ should be able to play on anything, and yes. They should. And we can. However, the music that I had planned to perform from required the specific equipment that is on my rider! When life throws a curve ball, react, adapt, and still give."
