HIP Year in Review: 2015
Flashback Friday: Gary Numan
December 13, 2024
WOW! 2015 seems like decades ago! It was the year Blur made their triumphant return with their first record in twelve years called The Magic Whip. HIP was there in 2002 when their previous record Think Tank came out, and we had the great honor and privilege to promote both the “Crazy Beat” and “Out Of Time” music videos! 2015 was also the year that Hoverboards became the hot new thing, and after many years on late-night television, David Letterman said goodbye with his final episode of Late Show With David Letterman airing on May 20th, 2015. Ahh, the memories!
Nicky Romero – “Let Me Feel” ft. When We Are Wild – 10M views – In 2015, Nicky Romero was at the top of his game.
