Introduced by Brighton, UK's Spymania, with Kotva (2001), Hypo has now become an icon-like figure of Active Suspension, for which he achieved four LPS of atypical and stubbornly original electronic pop. Grinningly ironic and deadly serious at the same time, Hypo wanders in the soapy world of pop music, mistreating clichés, mishandling with one gesture new wave, mainstream and experimental music. Asserting the sampled/recycling nature of his music, Hypo still seduces with the totally pop inclination of his songs, labouring for the composition of potential pocket hit tracks, crossbeamed with brillant gestures of experimentation. Also mapping a territory constantly opened onto the outside, his music very often lets in for the expression of guests, such as dDamage, O.Lamm, Momus, Anne Laplantine, or Sawako.
