About the film
HYPER: The Stevie Hyper D Story tells the extraordinary story of one of jungle and drum & bass culture’s most influential MCs. Released in 2024 to critical acclaim, the film journeys through 90s London and the birth of a musical movement, led by Stevie’s nephew Darrell Austin alongside family, friends and some of the scene’s most important artists.
KEEP HYPER MOVING FORWARD
Every ticket purchased for this worldwide digital premiere supports HYPER’s future. As a completely independent production, we still need to fund outstanding music and rights clearances for wider international distribution and streaming. This premiere is our opportunity to get HYPER over the line.
Tickets are $9.99, with the option to contribute more. Any additional support goes directly towards our outstanding clearances.
Docs to Watch presents HYPER, in association with Kinema.

What people are saying
“Hyper: The Stevie Hyper D Story review – massively entertaining portrait of legendary MC Even those unfamiliar with 90s drum’n’bass will feel invited in and educated by an impeccably crafted account of this charismatic and vibrant pioneer.”
Leslie Felperin
“Inside ‘HYPER: The Stevie Hyper D Story’ — could this be the greatest jungle film ever made? The tragic, triumphant jungle documentary is currently selling out cinemas in the UK. From the world premiere to the directors’ 25-year struggle to honour an underground legend, Ewen Cook goes behind the scenes of an instant classic that has the drum 'n' bass world in a spiritual frenzy”
Ewen Cook
“MC Stevie Hyper D: The untold story of jungle’s formative MC The new documentary HYPER: The Stevie Hyper D Story not only celebrates a pioneer of the art form, but stands as a reminder of the power of nightlife more widely”
Solomon PM
“A recent exemplary offering is Hyper: The Stevie Hyper D Story, directed by Jamie Ross-Hulme, which turns the spotlight towards the jungle MC who was on the cusp of wider success when he died in 1998, struck down by a hereditary heart condition at just 31.”
