Biography
Born in Bristol on the 23rd of October 1985, Martin Hyde quickly realised his love for dance music and was highly influenced by the Prodigy, buying their debut album, Experience, aged just seven. By the age of eight, Martin had become highly adept at DJing the new happy hardcore music which was emerging from the inner city. In 1993 he headlined the first happy hardcore festival 'Ravestock' which attracted over twenty thousand revvlers from all over the country.

In 1994, shortly before his ninth birthday,Martin was given the residency at the The Haçienda alongside Mike Pickering. He was also a major player in the rise of the balearic club scene within the United Kingdom, being one of the first DJs to introduce Britain to its euphoric, uplifting melodies.

After leaving the Haçienda after it was closed in 1997, Martin was signed on as the joint resident DJ of Cream in Liverpool along with Paul Oakenfold. It was here that Martin became known by his alter ego, DJ Hyde, or Hydey as he is affectionally known by his many fans. In the next couple of years he rose to superstar status, mixing many major complilation CD's and becoming the first DJ to headline the pyramid stage at Glastonbury.

Unforunatly, a year later in the year 2000 at the age of 14, he was moved into rehab after becoming addicted to crack cocaine and LSD. A lengthy rehabilitation period followed and Martin fell into obscurity. Whilst in rehab he wrote three studio albums. To many of his fans, this period made him what he is now, a musical genius who has surely had the largest impact on music since it was invented over 5000 years ago.

Shortly after coming out of rehab in 2003 Martin released a fourth album which was to become the second best selling album of all time.

Today, Martin goes to Birmingham University and is resident at the local hotspot, Joes Bar, in the Universities own Guild of Student. He continues to direct the course of music and was personally responsible for the reunification of Take That.
