It’s hard to believe it has been 9 years since people started using Hype Machine. In this time, they’ve been able to graduate high school and college, complete their dissertations, start families, sell companies, and so much more.
And along the way, over a million and a half of them have found new music. I am really proud we could make this possible.
During this year, we’ve been busy! We:
- made our service available on Sonos and BlackBerry
- helped our friends make Plug, an OS X client for Hype Machine
- premiered dozens of albums on the best-looking pages on the web.
- made the Blog Recommender. It does exactly what you think.
- wrapped up the music of the year with our Zeitgeist, andBBC’s 6 Music.
- put on another amazing Hype Hotel, presented by Taco Bell at SXSW.
- helped throw an unusual show at Silent Barn in Brooklyn. It was magical.
- had bloggers and artists DJ at Firefly, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands and Bumbershoot. It was kinda like this.
Of course, we are never done. We are still working to find ways to delight you that are different, refreshing, and offer you an experience you can’t get anywhere else.
Thanks for listening!

Congrats to Anthony & the team! I still remember my blog’s first day on Hypem. I woke up to over 30 page views.. I was sooo happy! 🙂 Definitely my first landmark as a music blogger.
Congrats Hypem! I’m relativity new to the site, but I’m hooked and love it.Keep it up, you guys are awesome!
Love this site and app! Literally life changing. I haven’t listened to the radio in years and the constant new music streaming into my life has had some positive residual effect on me. Every time I “like” a new song I feel its love at first hearing. Never bored and always keeps my head bouncing.
Thanks!
PS – Zoya was super quick emailing me back and resolving a problem I had with the app!
Congrats! No better way to discover new music. Thanks for nine years of hard work.
Thank you so much for everything you guys do! Such an awesome service
Thanks for everything you guys do to improve the site. I wouldn’t be half as cool without HypeM.
I’ve been a member for 4 years now. You have made every day of college and every day at work so much easier. You helped me connect over 20 of my friends to my music lifestyle. I was a music promoter for 3 years and always relied on hype to keep me up to date. Thank you and keep up the great work.
coooooooooooollllllllllll
Mahalo nui loa from Honolulu! Hypem does damn good work. The ability to add a couple playlists is great and I hope that I will be able to add songs to playlists in the future without having to favorite them. If I could make twenty or so playlists I wouldn’t have to export the songs to Soundcloud, and I’d never leave Hypem. Three cheers for Hypem!
Absolutely love the site guys. And love going to Hype Hotel every year. Always the best party at SXSW. Congrats on 9 years!!!
I like the every single bit of what you guyz do. Congrats.
