Biography of Hybu |  | | Real name / | Etienne Gimenez | | Moniker(s) / | Rendez-Vu |
Hybu has always been a DJ. As a child, when other boys and girls were playing with Pogs in the school playground, he was scribbling his favorite band’s names on his school paper and creating his own C60 cassette compilations. As an adolescent, he was the guy who brought the music in for early-hour Saturday home parties –you know, the type of fresh sounds that made you bang your oily and greasy teenage head until whiplash set in. It should come as no surprise, then, that as an adult he’s made music his life.
At 24, he combines a unique blend of experience and adolescent-like freedom. Raised in the big beat and naughty house eras and fuelled by the best Brit rock, Hybu has developed an original taste for tense pop and fiery tracks that range widely between staggering rock, bumpy bass lines, and stocky electro beats. He demonstrates an imposing mastery of the turntables and the music machines that is playfully tempered with the new energy of one who has both a good musical ear and little fear.
But perhaps no better testament to his musical talent exists than the hundreds of clubbers who have experienced Hybu and know that this young man is a specialist of mixing up the underground and the accessible, the new and the yet to be discovered. After all, Hybu aims to please his party people, and he always does just that: he will make you move your body, open your heart, and sweat on the dance floor, all with a playful smile upon your lips that you will forever savor. |
