Hypaton: one of the electronic music scene’s most exciting names [Interview]

After being scouted by his mentor David Guetta a few years ago, Hypaton went from being a dental student to being in the electronic music spotlight seemingly overnight. Sitting at hundreds of millions of streams on his productions, it wasn’t until 2023’s release ‘Be My Lover’ with David Guetta until he truly started getting noticed.

Fast forward to 2025, and he has now unveiled multiple tracks with Guetta including Bonnie Tyler rework ‘Together’, ‘The Final Countdown 2025’ and collaborations with the likes of Chocolate Puma and Henri PFR. We caught up with Hypaton to learn more about his crazy career so far.

You’ve had quite the journey with performances in Ibiza, from your first ever set at Ibiza in 2023 up to now, playing at the superclub [UNVRS]. How does it feel? 

“Honestly it feels surreal. I still remember my first show at it felt like carrying a mountain on my shoulders. I had exactly 47 days between finishing my dentistry degree and that night. As soon as I got back home I bought a pair of decks and started practicing every single day, almost all day, until the show. By the time I stepped on stage I felt really prepared, but it was still overwhelming in the best way. And now, being able to come back and play at a superclub like [UNVRS] feels like a full circle moment. Ibiza has this unique energy. It pushes you, inspires you, and every time I play here I feel I’m growing as an artist. It’s been a crazy journey and I’m just grateful to live it.”

What were your first impressions of [UNVRS] when you stepped on stage for the first time? 

“It was something truly magnificent. The size of the club really impressed me, and everything just felt magical – the lights, the sound system, the people. It’s like a Disneyland for music. It’s a new vision of clubbing.

Playing at [UNVRS] multiple times this season including on 12th September, how do you ensure each set is fresh, even though its at the same venue? 

I think it’s important to take into account what worked and what didn’t the first time. I always prepare my sets with the idea of creating a real musical journey for the people there. For me it’s all about the atmosphere. I try to swap out the tracks that didn’t connect as much with new ones that can work better, while keeping the vibe that resonated really well the first time.

Talk to us about your relationship with David Guetta. Did you ever think it would grow into so many collaborations with him? 

David is a true mentor for me – not just when it comes to music, but also in life. He’s been a guide and a very important person in my journey. As for the collaborations, honestly yes, because we share such a similar musical taste! Working together just feels very natural.”

One of those recent collaborations is the hit ‘Together’.Can you talk us through the creation process including reworking such legendary vocals from Bonnie Tyler, and how the idea for the track came about in the first place? 

I really love taking songs from the past and giving them a new spin. That’s actually how many people first discovered me, so it’s something I continue to enjoy doing. I often have dedicated listening sessions where I look for the right track to bring back to life today, and ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’ was one of those songs. I wanted to create something very melodic, with major chords that bring a sense of joybecause I think the world really needs that right now. When I sent the idea to David, he loved it immediately, and we both felt the sound was really special, so we decided to finish it together.”

When you’re working with David Guetta versus other artists, or even solo, how does the experience differ? 

Well, when I work with David I always have this feeling of security, because honestly, who better than him can judge if something works or not? When I’m working solo or with other artists, I’m pushed to evaluate for myself if an idea is good enough. And that’s actually one of the most important things David has taught me: selection is essential. Sometimes you have to be willing to let go of an idea you’ve worked on for a long time and just start something new from scratch.”

What’s next for you in 2025 and beyond? 

I’ve got more collaborations with David coming up, and the plan is to just keep growing more and more. I’m always working on new sounds, new arrangementsconstantly trying to push myself forward. What really matters to me is being better than the version of myself from the year before, and I want to keep that mindset in everything I do.”
