He has done remixes for artists such as BT and Paul Van Dyk. His first studio album We Control advanced Hyper to the stages of festivals, including Glastonbury, Glade, the Sziget Festival in Hungary and Coliseo Ciudad de Atarfe in Spain.

Although already one of the leading DJ lights in the new slightly left of centre world of dance music, Hyper really does seem to have taken on a life of its own over the last 6 months.

The process of recording 'We Control' lead to the formation of Hyper, the band. Joining Hyper (Guy Hatfield) and production partner Ronnie in collaborations on this record are Leeroy Thronhill (ex Prodigy), Wildchild (LA rapper), US Breakbeat superstars The Crystal Method, Jim Davies (Pitchshifter), Dirty Harry (infamous UK rock chick and Tommy Lee collaborator), MC Xander and Kieron Pepper.

Starting out based around samples and ideas from bands such as Killing Joke, Adam & The Ants and even Anti-Nowhere League, the album mutated naturally into a living breathing LIVE production.

In 2011, Hyper will release another full length artist album, titled 'The Panic'.

He began his active career under the name of Hyper in 1999 when he released Blaze It Up (12")

mä ajoin koko yön
niin kuin roy orbison
mun sydämeni lyö
se aivan hervoton jo on

mä ajoin koko yön
niin kuin roy orbison
mun sydämeni lyö

se aivan hervoton jo on

lähin liikkumaan
valot vilkku vaan
pyysin tanssimaan
sua beibe

tää on huikeaa
juuri oikeaa
astrofysiikkaa
välillämme

en tiedä ees mis
mun autoni on
mut sun kanssas beibi
se on tarpeeton

mä ajoin koko yön
niin kuin roy orbison
mun sydämeni lyö
se aivan hervoton jo on

mä ajoin koko yön
niin kuin roy orbison
mun sydämeni lyö
se aivan hervoton jo on

mä ajoin koko yön

mä ajoin koko yön

mä oon ladattu
on kiveen hakattu
et suhun rakastun
tänä yönä

mua kuumottaa
enkä unta saa
mut en kuitenkaan

mä ajoin koko yön

mä löydän
öisen puuhamaan
eikä muuta tarvikkaan

niin höllään kaasujalkaa
meil on
aamuun asti aikaa

mä ajoin koko yön
niin kuin roy orbison
mun sydämeni lyö
se aivan hervoton jo on

mä ajoin koko yön
niin kuin roy orbison
mun sydämeni lyö
se aivan hervoton jo on

mä ajoin koko yön

mä ajoin koko yön

mä ajoin koko yön

mä ajoin koko yön

Overall Meaning

The Finnish song ‘Heartbeats’ by Hyper is about the excitement and thrill of driving all night with someone you love. The opening lines ‘mä ajoin koko yön niin kuin Roy Orbison, mun sydämeni lyö, se aivan hervoton jo on’ translate to ‘I drove all night like Roy Orbison, my heart is beating wildly and I’m feeling crazy’. The singer compares the wild beating of their heart to that of the legendary rock and roll singer, Roy Orbison.

Throughout the song, the singer expresses the strong feeling of attraction and love towards this person they are driving with. The romantic lyrics of the chorus- 'this is amazing, just right, astrophysics between us'- convey the sense of an intellectual and emotional connection that is out of this world, something that feels like it should not be happening but it is.

The song creates a sense of longing and yearning, as the singer declares their love for this person whom they are driving with, and how their car and the driving itself seems irrelevant in the face of the emotional intensity they feel. The repetition of the lines ‘mä ajoin koko yön’ at the end of each verse reinforces the sense of endlessness, that time stands still for the both of them, and all that matters is their connection.
