British DJ-producer James Hype has collaborated with GRAMMY-winning superstar Kim Petras on the new track 'Drums,' which is out now via The Cross/Island Records.

The single arrives as Hype wraps off his final 'Our House' residency set at H Ibiza, alongside Italian DJ group and label colleagues MEDUZA, where he played to hundreds of thousands of ravers throughout September.

'Drums' is a brilliant reworking of the instantly familiar Justin Timberlake classic 'Like I Love You,' heightened further by Petras' enticing vocal. This four-to-the-floor hymn is a production masterclass in cutting back to the fundamentals and is an instant set staple.

James' communiqué on the new single: “I came up with the idea for ‘Drums’ in 2019. It was an instrumental called 'Everybody Dance', which I played in my sets. The Hypefam heard it and not only demanded I release it, they had already renamed it ‘Drums’ of their own accord! The song part was also written a few years ago with some good friends, who have worked with me in the studio quite a bit. Fast forward to 2023, I met Kim in LA and we got together to create this version of ‘Drums’ you hear now. We were also incredibly blessed to have Justin Timberlake agree to keep his original vocal, so this record feels incredibly special to me - Who does this?”

Hype has had a busy year, most notably with the release of 'Ferrari,' one of his biggest singles to date. Not only has the globally acclaimed dance record achieved one billion total streams, but it has also maintained international chart places, peaking at #6 in the UK singles charts.

Hype is probably one of the UK's most influential artists, with his productions often providing the foundation of dancefloors around the world, and his singles and remixes accumulating over two billion streams globally. However, these honors are overshadowed by his unrivaled skill and generation-inspiring DJing, which places him at the forefront of 21st-century live mixing.

This well-earned success, along with Hype's larger-than-life personality, has enabled him to frequently travel on a global scale, from the United States to Brazil, Australia to Ibiza, and beyond. He is one of the UK's most prolific remixers, with official remixes for Ed Sheeran, David Guetta, and MEDUZA, to mention a few.

'Drums' demonstrates Hype's talent at work. His ability to resurrect legendary records while keeping creative integrity is unrivaled. James Hype, drummer by name and drummer by nature, is at the pulsing core of dance music.








The Dharavi DREAM Project (TDDP), Asia's first after-school hip-hop program, was founded by Indian rap legend Dino James to help poor youngsters studying rap music with their mental health.

Announcing a strategic relationship with Trijog, India's top mental health and wellness organization, makes TDDP very happy. This partnership is yet another accomplishment for TDDP as they work together to empower and uplift gifted hip-hop artists from underprivileged backgrounds and foster mental health awareness and overall well-being within the thriving Dharavi hip-hop scene.

Trijog has partnered with TDDP to advance mental healthcare in keeping with its objective to make mental healthcare available to everyone. The goal of TDDP has always been to use hip-hop culture to uplift poor youngsters, understanding that mental health issues are crucial to both artistic and personal development. The goal of this collaboration between Trijog and TDDP is to improve the lives of the program's participants and students while putting their welfare first.

With its innovative platform for young hip-hop artists, TDDP, the music business has constantly nourished talent, cultivated innovation, and promoted inclusion. Trijog's objective to make a significant difference in the lives of these aspiring artists is furthered by their partnership with Trijog, which is famous for its outstanding services in the mental well-being sector. This innovative project will use counseling as a tool to empower one of the biggest communities in the nation to keep mental health at the center of all activities and bring mental health to the people.

Artistic expression and mental health are inextricably linked. Students who are mentally healthy are more inclined to explore their creativity, create meaningful art, and maximize their talents. Through this partnership, students are given the freedom to utilize their art to express themselves and find healing.

In their quest for artistic perfection, many young artists may face emotional difficulties caused by low self-esteem, self-doubt, and the demands of their profession. Through this relationship, we make sure that they have access to the tools they need to address these issues, cope with stress, and develop emotional resilience—all of which contribute to creating a supportive atmosphere.

Dolly Rateshwar, Tejashree Pol, and Sushant Yattam, MC Heam, Co-Founders of TDDP, emphasize the importance of this initiative, stating, "In our ongoing commitment to the Dharavi Dream Project, we strive to improve the lives of our students through dedicated efforts. Over the past decade, we have recognized the significance of mental health within our school and the broader community. We are excited to partner with Trijog, and we hope this collaboration makes a meaningful impact at the grassroots level."

Expressing her delight about the collaboration, Arushi Sethi, Co-Founder, of Trijog, stated, " At Trijog, we are committed to working towards making mental healthcare accessible for all. In our association with The Dharavi Dream Project, we aim to nurture the mental health of all artists and communities alike. Through this and all our initiatives, we are committed to building a better India - an India where mental health conversations are not a taboo and an India where physical health and mental health work hand in hand to create a happier and healthier space for all.”

Through this collaboration, The Dharavi DREAM Project & Trijog aim to:

Long-term Impact: Investing in the mental health of students has the potential for long-term benefits. Students who receive mental health support and education during their time at TDDP may carry these skills and insights into their adult lives, promoting well-being in their communities.

Alignment with Mission: TDDP's commitment to empowering underprivileged youth through hip-hop culture can be further strengthened by addressing the mental health needs of its students. Mental well-being is an integral part of personal empowerment, and this collaboration aligns with TDDP's mission to uplift and support young artists.

Support for Emotional Challenges: Many young artists may encounter emotional challenges related to self-esteem, self-doubt, and the pressures of artistic pursuits. Having access to mental health resources can provide them with a support system to address these challenges, manage stress, and build emotional resilience.


In a bid to place the power and ownership back in the hands of the talent, Trijog India is taking a step deeper at the grassroots level where they would organize workshops and sessions on mental health, stress management, and emotional well-being for TDDP's students and participants. These sessions could provide valuable tools and strategies for managing the unique challenges that young artists may face.

● Counseling Services: We could offer counseling services or access to mental health professionals who could provide support and guidance to individuals within the TDDP community. This could be especially beneficial for those experiencing emotional or psychological difficulties.

● Awareness Campaigns: Together, we could launch awareness campaigns and initiatives within the hip-hop community to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health issues. By openly discussing mental health topics, we can create a more supportive and understanding environment.

This association exemplifies the shared commitment of both The Dharavi DREAM Project and Trijog towards nurturing creative talents and promoting inclusivity in music. Together, we believe that art has the power to inspire, heal, and bring positive change to communities.
