James Hype explains how he builds DJ sets: he opens with a signature track so people know it's him, mixes proven hits with new music for festival slots, and adapts to the crowd. During a Mexico gig, he dropped a local vocal from Pezo Puma.

Three things I always consider when I'm preparing a set. I always like to make sure that I've got an intro track so that even if everything goes terribly wrong, I still know that my intro is good. I always like to try and get my own tracks in the intro so that people know if they're listening. Oh, that must be James Hype.
It's.
Got a big build up and then it drops into this. When I play festivals, the set times are always quite short. So I've got to find a way to get my music in there that people want me to play and then also some fresh stuff that they haven't heard me play before. So I've got this mix of drums and I'm going to drop it into Satisfaction. Goes like this. I like to try and understand the crowd before I get there. I'm playing in Mexico today. I'm like the biggest Mexican artist, Pezo Puma. So I found one of his vocals and I'm going to put it into my set. I hope they like it.
