For Hypaton, the viral moment was sudden, but it didn’t feel random. Breakout moments in electronic music are often framed as accidents. A track gets widespread attention, the algorithm intervenes, the right person hears it at the right time. While Hypaton may be synonymous with reimagined ’90s anthems and chart-climbing viral edits, the producer’s journey is rooted in discipline, instinct, and an unwavering commitment to sound over spectacle.
From late nights balancing dentistry studies with studio sessions to landing on David Guetta’s radar through a Juventus-backed viral moment, Hypaton’s story reflects a modern electronic artist navigating momentum without losing control of his creative direction.
In this exclusive interview with EDMNOMAD, Hypaton opens up about viral turning points, mentorship, collaboration, and the mindset shaping the next phase of his career.
The Clip That Opened the Door
“I’m a huge Juventus fan, so seeing them use my audio for one of their videos was unreal,” he says. “I had already had a few viral moments before, but that one hit differently. It felt like a full-circle moment.” When Juventus shared a clip soundtracked by Be My Lover, the scale shifted immediately. “When a massive account uses your music, it boosts the algorithm a lot,” Hypaton explains. “That’s how my track ended up on David Guetta’s feed, where everything truly began.”
The message arrived the following day. “I thought I had already reached the peak of happiness, and then David messaged me. That changed everything.” It reads like a fairytale turning point, but it landed on foundations built quietly, long before the numbers caught up.
From lecture halls to late-night studios
At the time of Be My Lover’s breakthrough, Hypaton was still studying dentistry at university, living between two very different futures.
“I always knew I wanted to try this career,” he says. “I was aware that starting would be difficult and that it would take time, but I always felt this urge to launch myself fast.” The routine was unforgiving. “I used to come home from university and work on music late at night,” he recalls. “Balancing dentistry studies and production was not easy, but I gave everything to both.” he added.
When the track began to take on a life of its own, something clicked. “That desire suddenly became real,” he says. “It was the moment I understood that I could truly push forward with music and build a career out of it.” That sense of clarity would soon extend beyond career decisions, shaping how he approached sound itself.
Rebuilding the familiar from the inside out
Hypaton’s rise has been closely tied to his reworkings of ’90s classics, but his relationship with nostalgia is deliberate rather than sentimental. “I always start with songs that have a strong lyric and a distinctive element,” he explains. “From there, my approach is to completely deconstruct the original and rebuild it from zero.”
That reconstruction is often radical. “I change the chords and sometimes even reshape the vocal structure,” he says. “The key is to keep at least one element from the original so the nostalgic feeling remains.” For him, nostalgia isn’t about comfort, it’s about emotional continuity. “It allows me to create something fresh and modern while still keeping the emotional DNA that made the classic special.”
That instinctive balance between respect and reinvention comes from a relationship with music that predates the studio.
Learning when ‘good’ isn’t good enough
David Guetta’s involvement in Hypaton’s journey came with visibility, but also discipline. “He always told me to work as much as possible and to build a huge musical culture,” Hypaton says. “That’s the part you can’t learn quickly. It takes years.”
More than technique, Guetta emphasised selection. “When I share music with David, the tracks are often very raw,” he explains. Execution can wait, standards cannot. “Many producers stop when something feels okay,” Hypaton says. “But David taught me to push further. Sometimes that means deleting a track you worked on for weeks.”
It’s a mindset that reshaped how he approaches collaboration as well.
Raising standards without losing identity
Working alongside artists like RAYE, Teddy Swims and Tones and himself brought on pressure but also one that sharpened the process. “I wouldn’t say it intimidates me,” Hypaton says. “It pushes me to work at my absolute highest level. Every sound, every transition has to be the best possible.”
The response to WHERE IS MY HUSBAND! reinforced the value of instinct. “The viral reaction was crazy, fans literally drove the release,” he says. “It made me realise that sometimes the most exciting moments come when you follow energy instead of overthinking.” By contrast, Gone Gone Gone demanded restraint. “That record has so much soul,” he explains. “I had to approach it with respect while still putting my identity into it.”
The lesson, he says, is simple. “Collaborating isn’t about big names, it’s about elevating each other’s vision without losing what makes your sound unique.” That sense of responsibility for him carries directly into the booth.
Studio to Stage and What’s Next
His first-ever DJ performance took place at Hï Ibiza on David Guetta’s Future Rave night. A sort of baptism by fire that only a few artists experience. “The pressure was intense,” he admits. “But when the lights went down, I was fully focused. It felt like a challenge against myself.” Since then, stages like UNVRS Ibiza and Don’t Let Daddy Know have become familiar territory, though the nerves haven’t disappeared entirely. “It’s not anxiety anymore,” he says. “It’s focus. I never underestimate a show.”
Looking ahead of viral moments, Hypaton sees 2026 as a year of evolution and balance. “I want to push my identity on the club side with strong festival energy,” he says, “but I’m also working on more melodic and commercial ideas.”
New originals, unexpected collaborations, and projects that stretch beyond expectations are already in motion. The philosophy is simple: momentum matters, but instinct decides what survives. “Every year,” Hypaton says, “has to feel like an upgrade from the one before.” And for an artist who has already learned the discipline of knowing what to keep and what to delete, the next chapter feels anything but accidental.
