James Hype Unleashes Raw, Old-School Inspired House Anthem “Lose Control” as Sophomore Single on Insomniac Records

James Hype makes his long-awaited return to the Insomniac Records imprint with his sophomore single “Lose Control,” a future festival and club staple in the making.

Building upon his ability to bring unforgettable vocals to the fore, “Lose Control” finds James dusting off a classic R&B vocal from the ‘90s. Pitched-up while still retaining its soul-stirring quality, the iconic hook loops atop sharp claps, tension-building pads, and sporadic synths. The full impact of the main refrain sets in as classic rave stabs and a jackin’ groove push the peak-time number over the edge.

Speaking on how the idea sparked for his new single, James Hype says: “I was in Brooklyn working in the studio just before Christmas. I took a break and I was walking down the street by myself and the idea for this track came in my head. I got back to the studio and threw it together asap, trying to make it sound old skool and raw. I dropped a preview on my Instagram and everyone has been asking for it since. Happy to be releasing this on Insomniac Records, I love this record!”

“Lose Control” is Hype’s follow-up to last year’s smash hit “Ferrari,” which peaked at #6 in the Official Charts and has over 400 millions Spotify streams. 

 As one of London’s most influential house exports, platinum-selling producer James Hype has been relentlessly engineering global hits that live up to the meaning of his namesake. In 2021, he partnered up with international phenom Vintage Culture on their massive collab “You Give Me A Feeling,” which enjoyed a torrent of tastemaker support from crews at BBC R1, Capital Dance, Kiss FM, Sirius XM and iHeartRadio. James Hype’s follow-up offering has all the right ingredients to make crowds succumb to the power of its title, arriving just in time ahead of his hotly tipped set at EDC Las Vegas this month. 

“Lose Control” is destined to be another jewel in James Hype’s crown as the platinum-selling producer gears up for a summer of club mayhem, starting with his set at EDC next weekend.
