For the first time ever, we hosted a new-concept LIVE event featuring 15 DJs from the HYPEFAM, back-to-back (B2B) for over 12 hours! The event was the only way to properly kick back into the festive season!
To kick things off, we reached out to the HYPEFAM.global community via the Official James Hype Discord server and invited community DJs to submit a 20 minute recorded mix video in their chosen genre for an initial review. Once submission entry closed on Sunday 26th November, we put 25 submissions to the HYPEFAM.global Community to vote for their favourites mixes to help decide who’d be playing in one of 12 (maybe more) slots on Saturday 23rd December 2023 – LIVE on the HYPEFAM.global Twitch channel for the 12 Streams of Christmas!
When voting closed on Sunday 3 December, the 12 DJs with the highest vote count (with an additional 3 DJs – due to tied voting results) were offered a spot on the final stream! You can see the lineup below:
It was then a massive race to get everything prepared and everybody’s streams technical tested within a couple of weeks… and whilst we had to jump over some hurdles, the event was an overwhelming success!
Below is a list of people who made the event possible, without these people – The 12 Streams of Christmas would’ve remained a figment of our imagination. So, be sure to check out everybody you see below!

Streaming Applicants
These are the HYPEFAM members who applied to stream as part of the event, but unfortunately didn’t make the final lineup!
Without these people, there wouldn’t have been a list of applications for the HYPEFAM to vote for. We thank you immensely for the time spent on your demo sets, most of which were of extremely high quality – and the time and effort you took to help set this ship sale!
Additional Thanks
Without James and STEREOHYPE, there’s no existing platform for us here, and with that – there’s a dramatically smaller crowd to engage. We’d also like to thank James, Sabion and Kenny for providing voice samples for use in the Stinger Transitions. We’d also like to thank the entire STEREOHYPE team for their approval, and support, towards the event and the wider project. We’re looking forward to seeing what we can make of this platform, and we know that it’s going to be nothing less than awesome!
A quick shoutout to our awesome Stream Moderators!
These guys kept the stream chat in check whilst we handled the production side of things, and boy – did they do a great job! A massive thank you to Gems001 particularly who was on the chat from open until close. How she did that, I’ll never know! ?
It’s time to look at the year ahead!
Following the success of The 12 Streams of Christmas 2023, we’re happy to announce that (pending approval) we’ll be repeating this event next year. Luckily, we’ll have a lot more time to plan and complete pre-production this time – so we’ll have time to work on ways to make the show even better than it was this year! Keep your eyes pealed for more information within the James Hype Discord – however know that we’ll be doing a lot of work on other projects in the meantime, so there will be much more content coming from HYPEFAM.global in 2024.
Technical Deep Dive
We’ll be looking at producing some technical “behind-the-scenes” videos looking at how 12 Streams of Christmas came to be. These will likely go up on this website, so watch this space if you’re interested!
HYPEFAM.global signing off for 2023!
It’s been a mad launch year and we cannot wait to see what happens with the project in 2024! In the meantime, you can check out the streamer’s demo sets, and over time – more of the final sets will be published here! Who does this? Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays!
On the 23 December 2023, HYPEFAM.global went live for the 12 Streams of Christmas 2023! Keep your eyes pealed for the final sets, which will shortly be uploaded to the site.
