Zero fucks given. That's the Protohype way.

We've watched Max Hype grow from SoCal wunderkind to full-on festival headliner. Raging sets, secret B2B's with superstars, and cross-country tours with some of the biggest acts on the planet have shown a spotlight on Protohype.

The #PuppyCrew chief comes at you from multiple angles: dubstep, drumstep, trap, drum & bass--he can even go house on that ass. As long as it packs pounds of bass, he's in. And don't get me started on those collabs. Dude has worked with everyone. Couldn't cram all the superstar joints on this list. It's clear why everyone wants to work with the guy: not only does he have an irreverent sense of humor, but the guy can produce the hell out of a cut.

To get a real sense of what Hype is all about, listen to the panel he did with us and Dirtyphonics at Electric Forest. Then dive into this list of classic tunes for a refresher course in all things Protohype.

Let's start things off with a new one. This baseline will give you meningitis. It's filth. The ol' SMOG homie 12th Planet coming at you live at bacon o'clock.

No matter how pretty the Duelle girls try to make it, Max just gets in there and gets dirty with that drop. He'll show you how it's done.

Basically a perfect blend of styles between Protohype and his Firepower Records boss Datsik. Cut the kids in half. Murder style, boi.
