The Hype was started in 2007 by Belgium’s happening club of the same name; its sixth release marks the debut of Alberto Santos, aka Santos Martinez, coming like a breath of air with his classical-tinged chords and 90s-style melodic touches. The title cut starts life as an almost aquatic version of the Mecano tune with prog underpants, before The Hype’s Jan Vervloet steams in with a turbo-glistener of a remix. With ‘Argonautica’ and ‘June’ maintaining the quality, Santos could well be a name to watch in the new year.
