If the original “Hyperspace” was a groove-laden rocket ship, “Hyperspace: Reloaded” is the full-throttle hyperspeed jump straight into the funk-jazz cosmos. Cambridge-based Mulholland Jive, the project of multi-instrumentalist and composer Ben Mulholland, turns up the heat in this amped-up, electrifying rework of their 2021 fan-favorite. With its high-energy fusion of piano pyrotechnics, roaring horns, and thunderous rhythms, this track isn’t just a song—it’s a full-fledged musical spectacle that demands to be played at maximum volume.

From the very first note, “Hyperspace: Reloaded” bursts open with an infectious groove, immediately pulling the listener into its kaleidoscopic whirlwind of funk, jazz, and rock. The band, a rotating nine-piece ensemble, fires on all cylinders, layering intricate instrumental interplay that’s as tight as it is explosive. The horns? Blistering. The drums? Thunderous. The piano? A dazzling display of virtuosity that drives the whole track forward with relentless momentum.

Where the original “Hyperspace” was already a banger, this reloaded version dials everything up to another level. Every instrument feels brighter, bolder, and more kinetic, making it impossible to sit still while listening. Mulholland Jive leans fully into their jazz-funk DNA, crafting a track that could just as easily light up a sweaty underground club as it could explode onto the main stage of a festival.

Released in celebration of four years of Mulholland Jive’s infectious musical journey, “Hyperspace: Reloaded” is both a tribute to their roots and a statement of their ever-growing energy. The band has built a reputation for getting crowds moving, and this track cements their status as one of the most exhilarating instrumental acts on the scene today.

Mulholland Jive delivers a frenetic, joy-filled ride through the stratosphere of sound, proving that funk, jazz, and rock are a match made in groove heaven.
