Artist profile
About
Hitty is a British-born, London-based DJ and producer whose house music carries the swing of hip-hop and dancehall into energetic club sets. His sound is built around punchy drums, vocal fragments, elastic bass and a strong sense of movement, balancing the rough-edged feel of UK house with the lift of a memorable hook. The artist’s trademark gloves are part of a visual language that makes the project instantly recognizable, but the music stands on its own: tracks such as In My Room, Ecstacy, Diddy Bop, Keep Forgettin, Take U Home and House FM show a producer comfortable with both stripped-back club pressure and vocal-led songwriting. A collaboration with Karen Harding on Take U Home and later remixes further reveal his interest in writing records that can work in a DJ mix while keeping a clear song identity. Hitty’s catalogue traces a path from early releases and a 2008 Universal and Island deal into a self-directed house practice, with the artist using independent platforms to develop a more personal sound. He curates HITTY-X and GLOVE SEAZON, projects that connect music, imagery and community through immersive parties and a record-label platform. This world-building approach extends the music rather than replacing it: the visuals frame a set whose core is groove, tension and crowd response. London remains the project’s home, but Hitty’s touring history spans Ibiza, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Manchester, with appearances at Hï Ibiza, fabric and other major clubs. On the island he has appeared in the Más Tiempo room at Black Coffee’s Hï Ibiza programme, a placement that reflects his ability to move between underground house and a broader international audience. His sets favor low-slung UK house, hip-hop-inflected samples and dancehall color, yet he leaves room for melodic turns and vocal warmth. Hitty’s studio work and live identity reinforce one another: the records provide hooks and texture, while the DJ format stretches them into long, physical journeys. The result is an artist who treats house as a meeting point for different cultures, using rhythm, personality and a distinctly London perspective to keep the floor moving.
