Machinist mainstay Hyperfocus kicks off 2025 with a new high-water mark. This two-tracker demonstrates an elevated level of musicality, paired with a rare skill prized at the label: combining deep cinematics with devastating rhythmic elements.

"Crystalized" entices the subconscious with luxurious, immersive atmospheres, only to reveal a sinister side. The intro gives way to a breakbeat tearout number that references classic Metalheadz and No U-Turn records while remaining uniquely specific to Hyperfocus. Crystalized is both fierce and haunting in equal measure.

"Null Point" enters the fray with a jagged edge — tight, like a machine pushed beyond its limit. The synths slice through the air, sterile and sharp, like a cold blade. Aggressive yet calculated, it embodies a kind of mechanical chaos. Another entry carved into the slate tablet of classic techstep.

Machinist Music Forty-Five demonstrates proprietary technology in advancing the techstep micro-genre. Hyperfocus leads the charge in bringing our favorite 1995 flavors to 2025. His sound is both uniquely his and universally recognizable — a rarity for an artist this early in his journey.

Submachinegun.

A forgotten weapon brought back into circulation.
Heavy breaks torn apart, amens shredded to dust, halftime pulled into shadow, and breakbeats forged under pressure.

Recorded straight to the bone. No polish. No mercy.

The origin does not matter.

This is the darker half.

Submachinegun | Heavy Ammunition 09.05.25 (Dark & Heavy DNB)

Live recording of R4NS0M performing at The Chapel of Bones in Raleigh, NC on 7.26.25 for Deli Fresh presents with support from Joanna O, Gotta and Doc.
