10.11.2026Lekkerfaces reaches level maximum with his new album ‘HYPER’#News#HardcoreThe Italian artist has released his second album and, probably, his most ambitious project to date. After more than a year and a half of work, the uptempo producer presents a futuristic concept that combines a new musical direction, a dedicated liveact and real-time AI visuals Following his previous album ‘Steam Power’, Lekkerfaces felt the need to explore something different. Instead of simply releasing another collection of tracks, he aimed to build an entire universe around his music. “I wanted to create something bigger, something that people could really experience, both through the music and during my shows”, he explained to us. Released through Black Reaper Records in different stages, ‘HYPER’ features 15 tracks, including ‘OMG IT’S LEKKERFACES’, ‘THE LEKKER SONG’, ‘BASS LEVEL CRITICAL’ or ‘TSUNAMI’, alongside collaborations with MC Robs and Deadly Guns. “I wanted to take a different direction from my previous projects, slowing things down but hitting even harder” What makes ‘HYPER’ particularly interesting is the musical direction Lekkerfaces has chosen. While uptempo is often associated with pushing tempos and intensity to their limits, the producer has decided to experiment with different sounds without sacrificing the impact of his productions. “I gave my signature ‘UUUuuuUUU’ sound a more futuristic twist and experimented a lot with new sounds and unexpected elements throughout the album”, he told us. Another characteristic of the project is the reinterpretation of well-known tracks. Lekkerfaces has always enjoyed transforming familiar music into something completely different, and ‘HYPER’ takes that approach even further. “People already have a connection with the original, and adding the HYPER touch brings a whole new level of energy and excitement to it!”, he said. But the concept goes beyond the studio. The album introduces a digital universe in which HYPER behaves like a living system, gradually taking control of its creator. This storyline also shapes his live performances, where real-time visuals powered by Stable Diffusion transform both the artist and the crowd into part of the experience. “HYPER has opened so many doors creatively” Choosing a favourite track from such a personal project is not easy. As Lekkerfaces explained, some productions are connected to specific memories, while others stand out because of the time invested in them or the reactions they generate during his shows. Nevertheless, he highlights ‘OMG IT’S LEKKERFACES’, ‘THE LEKKER SONG’ and ‘TSUNAMI’ among his favourites, alongside ‘HYPERMARKET’, just released on the final album update. “It’s absolutely one of my favourites, and I had so much fun producing it!”, he admitted. Looking ahead to 2027, Lekkerfaces is already considering new creative possibilities. Although ‘HYPER’ has allowed him to develop a distinctive musical identity, he also acknowledges that its futuristic direction has occasionally restricted his artistic freedom. “For 2027, I want to explore different concepts, live acts and experiences, giving myself the freedom to express my creativity without being stuck in one specific style or theme”, he told us. And while the next chapter remains a mystery, Lekkerfaces has made one thing clear: “I’m definitely not slowing down anytime soon”.
