On danceXL, we highlight the biggest club tracks primed for mainstream crossover. This week, James Hype is living the dream on “Don’t Wake Me Up”. He’s described it as “the best song I’ve ever written”, and found inspiration by tapping into his own dance-floor memories. “I wanted to make a more musical track but still wanted to make it fit in the clubs and stages I play in, so pooled my experiences over time and mixed in what I remember feeling from old house tracks in the ’90s,” he tells Apple Music. “The track is about how I see my life at the moment. I’m doing the best I’ve ever done, be it in the studio, in the gym, in my shows, and it just feels like a dream I don’t ever want to wake up from. I’m just a guy from the north of England, and I know there are plenty of people out there that can achieve the same heights with the same dedication and focus. I want this record to be the soundtrack to those people’s successes.” Listen to it now and add this playlist to your library to stay up on the biggest bangers from around the world.
