A music and culture festival uniting New England through music, fashion, food, and sports

Founders

Whether assuming their roles as DJs, tastemakers, facilitators, or natural entertainers, brotherly DJ duo, the SuperSmashBroz (comprised of blood brothers Muyi Fre$co and Noma Nomz) are known to have had their hands in all things Boston music. Their extensive experience as dot-connectors within their hometown has greatly assisted the recent surge of energy within Boston's budding music scene, leading the SmashBroz to be named Boston DJs of the Year in 2017, 2018, and 2020. The duo's current portfolio includes work with fellow Boston artists Michael Christmas, BIA and Cousin Stizz as well as renowned acts Metro Boomin, DRAM, Nebu Kiniza, and What So Not, among others.

Mission

No Hype Fest exists to celebrate the diversity, creativity, and innovation of Boston's cultural scene by amplifying New England voices on a larger stage. Rooted in our inaugural ICA/Boston event in 2019 and our 2022 showcase at Artists for Humanity, No Hype remains committed to spotlighting the region's creative energy. Organized by and for artists, we bring together creators and audiences to honor the talent, imagination, and community that define New England's artistic landscape.

Community Impact

No Hype Weekend • YouTube x Berklee Panel • Community Events • Spin Kidz

Spin Kidz is a DJ basics workshop for students between the ages of 12–17 started by the SuperSmashBroz in 2022. Spin Kidz sets the goal of providing equity, education, and resources for children to be successful in music. The introductory course starts students off with the basics, including understanding rhythm (four-beat), beat matching, transitions, and scratching. The Spin Kidz experience introduces each student to new skills, and provides a one of a kind environment for the students to explore their interests in music.
