The shift begins with the usual metronomes switched off. In the workshop of “misfit ideas,” a conveyor starts up that assembles not parts but deviations: a slipped stop, a skewed bar, a shifted center of gravity. The author pulls the chaos out of his head, feeds it into the machine, and watches what happens when a standard groove goes under the press.

Each track is its own machine with a distinct temperament: some cut, some drill, some stamp silence to micron tolerances. The speed is pushed into the red, the weight is physically felt, the markings are razor-precise. The motion leans off-axis on purpose yet holds the line—fast, heavy, exact.

ZAVOD is where order is taken apart bolt by bolt and a new kinematics is assembled from the scrap. A full production run—a hand-built album: no safe mode, no familiar controls, only the raw metal of an idea and the cold exactness of execution. It hums, it sparks, it works. Ready for dispatch.

The night port hangs in overload, like a system no one ever told to shut down. Cranes are frozen over the water like burned-out skeletons, barrels of waste stretch into the distance, and instead of a sunset there’s an acid red noise spilling across the horizon. You can’t just breathe this air, so in this reality people appear only in masks — lone figures still searching for something among the overworked metal.

The protagonist of Overcapacity walks through this graveyard of infrastructure like through their own archives. Every step on a rusty drum is another bit that once felt important and has now turned into a toxic background. The bass in t0ku1-t3n’s tracks rumbles like the low hum of this port, pumping not cargo but consequences. The breaks flash like alarm beacons that no longer warn anyone, just blink out of habit into the void.

This release is a soundtrack to the moment when the world neither collapses nor cleanses itself, but keeps existing in a mode of “too late to slow down.” Overcapacity captures this saturated zone: a space where everything is exceeded — limits, norms, human durability — and where someone still keeps moving forward until the red noise drowns out the last signal.

PAPERFUNK RECORDINGS – is a dark drum&bass label which sound will be based on the hard and metallic techstep and neurofunk sound. There’s no place for popular sound. The label’s main goal is to flood cities and towns with the special mixtures containing nano-robots that supposed to get inside people’s brains and plunge them down in the deepest adolescent memories and show them the unrealized future. The hardness of the mix, the steel of the drums, the oil of the bass and the rust of the effects – are the main and crucial keywords of the PAPERFUNK label.


Officially speaking, our tracks will be selling out on the majority of the online music stores that’s why it’ll always be easy to find them available on the most popular online shops such as Beatport, TrackitDown, Digital-Tunes, etc.


We’d like to pay special attention to the concept of our label as an engine of progress. New talents will be expressing themselves right before your eyes and soon, behind the battle embrasures the fearless robots who, with the help of lasers and magnetic impulses, are able to bring you the meaning of the Neurofunk and Techstep’s existence, will arise.
