James Hyman (born 18 April 1970){{citation needed|date=May 2018}} is a DJ, Radio & TV presenter, Music Supervisor, MD of JLH (creative media–marketing company) and founder of The Hyman Archive.

Hyman put aside his place at University of Manchester{{citation needed|date=May 2018}} to work at MTV Europe in the Press office,{{citation needed|date=May 2018}} despite his parents' misgivings (partly because of his father's glimpse of the music industry through his cousin Brian Epstein).[1]

Whilst at MTV Europe, Hyman studied "Film & Media" at London Guildhall University, graduating in 1992 with 1st class Honours.{{citation needed|date=May 2018}}

Hyman Archive

For over 25 years, Hyman has been collecting magazines, pamphlets, newsletters, brochures, ephemera and other printed material. The theme of Hyman's collecting is 'popular culture in print'. Originally, he began collecting to assist his research at MTV Europe, where he was a script writer and programme producer. This was in a period where, according to Hyman, "magazines were the internet".

The Hyman Archive contains over 4,500 individual title publications and over 120,000 individual issues as of April 2017, although the collection is still growing at approximately 30% per annum. The collection spans the period 1850 to present day. More than 55% of the title publications are not to be found in the British Library. Independent Publishers represent 75% of the title publications in The Hyman Archive. Condé Nast and Bauer Media are the two largest contributors to the Archive, representing 3% each of the total title publications. The United Kingdom represents approximately 55% of the title publications by territory, followed by the United States at 34%. The Hyman Archive, although curated and focused on popular culture, includes a broad-array of subject matter, including Film, TV, Music, Music video, Art, Fashion, Architecture, Interior design, Trends, Youth, Lifestyle, Women's, Men's, Technology, Sports, Photography, Counter-culture, Graphics, Animation, and Comics.

On 1 August 2012, Guinness World Records verified that, "The largest collection of magazines consists of 50,953 magazines and belongs to James Hyman (UK), in London, UK".[2] At that time, the collection featured 2,312 unique publications amongst the 50,953 magazines. The process of counting the magazines took approximately 128 days as James and Tory Turk worked their way through 450 crates filled with magazines.

In September 2014, with an investor, Hyman formed The Hyman Archive Ltd. in order to obtain an ECL (a form of collective rights management) with copyright holders contained within the collection, and then to digitise and meta-tag the collection, making it available in a commercial offering. Hyman hopes to have secured an ECL by Spring 2016. The company will then begin the process of digitising the collection's approximate 10 million pages.[3]

The archive's activity has included: a unique New Musical Express (NME) loan to the BBC for its Britannia series (Pop Charts Britannia: 60 Years of the Top 10); supplying Amazon's pop-up trainer exhibition; the Victoria and Albert Museum’s 'David Bowie Is'; Northampton Museum and Art Gallery Mods exhibition, "Fashion Galore!" and "The Jam: About The Young Idea", both at Somerset House.

July 2015, David Hepworth's 'Off The Page' column for InPublishing opened with, "We should all support James Hyman’s amazing project to rescue the most ephemeral magazines from oblivion"[4]

TV

Hyman worked at MTV Europe (1988 to 2000), as a Press Officer then as a programmer, producer and director.{{citation needed|date=May 2018}} His MTV shows, including Party Zone featured in-depth interviews with the likes of The Prodigy, Goldie, Moby, David Holmes, The Chemical Brothers, Underworld, Paul Oakenfold, and Aphex Twin.{{citation needed|date=May 2018}}

Hyman also co-presented MTV's Up For It and fronted a spin-off from MTV's Bytesize programme, providing daily reports on Internet news & web sites.[5]

In 1992 with Coldcut produced a TV Megamix[6] for Canal+ weekly pop-culture show, pre-empting his MTV Megamix format and shows that began broadcast on MTV Europe in 1998.[7][8]

Radio

Presented on Atlantic 252 and Xfm London as producer / presenter of The Rinse & co-presenter / producer of The Remix, the latter nominated for 2003 Sony Radio Academy Award.{{citation needed|date=May 2018}}

The Rinse focused on Dance music with Hyman also championing other emerging music trends such as Bastard pop.

The Remix focused on mash-up remixes and, according to The Guardian, "led the craze" which caused some controversy when a cease and desist order was issued for playing "A Stroke of Genius" by The Freelance Hellraiser.[9]

The Xfm shows paved the way for the release of a number of albums:

  • The Remix and The Remix 2 (Virgin/EMI)
  • Covered (Sony BMG)
  • 8 themed mix CDs including: Pulp Mixin' which remixed the work of Quentin Tarantino and Licence To Thrill, an audio homage to James Bond, which featured in The Daily Telegraph's top 5 CDs of 2004 [10]

September 2007, Hyman left Xfm to concentrate on his music supervision company JLH and other broadcast projects.[11]

A one-hour documentary about Paul Anka and his song "My Way" was produced by Hyman and Nick Minter as part of BBC Radio 2's series, "Song Stories", first broadcast 23 February 2011, it was presented by Michael Buble and featured interviews with David Bowie, Donald Trump, Julien Temple and Steve Wynn on BBC Radio 2.[12]

Films

Hyman expanded his Quentin Tarantino mix tape, Pulp Mixin', to create a feature-length mash-up film, with the provisional title James Hyman/Quentin Tarantino Movie Mash-Up. It blends Tarantino's film footage with music videos, including those of the music used in the films.[13][14]
