Ollie Jaye is a veteran DJ whose rise to prominence came via a decade‑long residency at the iconic Hippo Club in Cardiff—one of the UK’s seminal hotspots for trance, hard‑house, and euphoric dance music.



Ollie helped shape the club’s fierce identity and championed the era’s signature sound: uplifting, relentless, and unapologetically massive. But Ollie’s not just about nostalgia, he still throws down with that same electricity. Case in point? This mix! He drops an expertly sequenced blend that feels like a hug and a hands-in-the-air moment. 

This isn’t just a playlist. It’s a love letter to the '90s, where piano riffs, gospel vocals, and thunderous breakbeats collided under strobe lights and UV paint. Ollie curated it with the same instinct and passion that once packed the Hippo Club, only now it’s bottled for your headphones.

This is also a resurrection of Ollie's "Ode to Hippo" series he initially published a few years back. Do check out the Trance mixes if you can find them! 

From Tin Tin Out to Dancin’ Divaz, CLS to JX, this mix is for anyone who’s ever danced with strangers at 3 a.m. and felt like they belonged.
