Most people are making resolutions. I’m making monsters.

As the clock winds down on 2025, I’ve got two very different beasts on the prototype bench, and I need to know which one belongs in your studio next year.

Slide 1: The AnalogFrog (Hybrid Bus Processor)
It’s not a plugin. It’s not just a fancy paperweight. It’s a living, breathing analog ecosystem that plugs directly into your digital workflow.

We built the AD/DA converters inside the unit. You plug it in via USB-C, open the plugin in your DAW, and your audio is physically routed through our custom "Gular" transformers and optical compression circuits.

🐸 The Frog Bass: A sub-harmonic saturation circuit that adds that thick, swampy bottom end you can’t fake with code.

🦗 Fly Catcher EQ: Silky smooth top-end that eats harsh frequencies for breakfast.

🎛 True Hybrid: Control it with automation in your DAW. Hear it through real copper and tubes.

Slide 2: The Celestial Compressor (Rack Unit)
The precision "God Channel" for mastering. This is the heavy hitter designed for the final polish.

🪐 Gravity Lows: Massive Pultec-style low end that adds weight without the mud.

👁️ Optical Glue: Slow, musical tube compression that holds the mix together.

✨ Stardust Highs: A parallel high-frequency shelf for that expensive, dimensional sheen.

We aren't just building gear in 2026. We’re building a universe.

Which prototype wins the race to production? The Hybrid Frog or the Celestial Rack?

Happy New Year from the lab. Let’s make some noise. 🥂

Most artists hate AI... but what if I told you it could save your lost mixes?

Ever wish you could go back and fix that one mix from years ago, but the hard drive is dead? We can fix that...

Or how about removing bleed from other instruments?
For instance u recorded yourself playing guitar and singing through two mics.

In the past you had to fight the bleed of the guitar into the vocal and visca versa.

Now you can simply use a stem splitter ans remove the guitar from the vocal and the vocal from the guitar, isolating them so they can get their own eqs!

What other uses have you found for stem splitting?

Is this a good use of ai? Or should we stop using stem splitters cause they are ai?

Finally got my hands on this limited press of "Confia: The Trust Of Justice."

@trust_one_official -on beats.
@m25music

A scorching indictment of everything that needs burning down.

This is real, raw, underground hip hop like you've never heard before.

🚨 NEW ALBUM OUT NOW!🚨

We are proud to present you with another timeless classic!! 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

"MAZALOTH13"
@wormhole.jakeflynn X @tonylxor
WORMHOLE X LXOR

-Special appearances by Avery Fantom, @blakwulfofficial @somniumsoundz
-Beats Produced by Wermhoe, Lxor, @crucifixuznhlapo @styptic_sound
Center art piece by @ghostvolume_
Mastered by @starfrog.mastering

Limited Edition Cassettes, Compact Discs, Vinyl & T Shirts exclusively available at M25music.bandcamp.com

M25 is back with another instant classic collaborative descent into sonic rebellion, Lxor and Wormhole forge an uncompromising alliance on Mazaloth. This project is a brutal, spaced-out collision of guttural death metal instrumentation and hyper-intellectual underground hip-hop. Stripping away the polish of mainstream rap, the duo weaponizes complex, multi-syllabic delivery and breathless double and triple-time cadences to deliver fierce, revolutionary lyricism. The result is an auditoryrevolutionary lyricism. The result is an auditory onslaught that is as intricately penned as it is devastatingly heavy. Dark, sprawling guitar riffs loop underneath rapid-fire verses, setting a tone that is simultaneously cerebral and sinister. It’s a masterclass in breath control and intricate rhyme schemes that systematically dismantle societal illusions... read more at bandcamp

Rest in Peace & Love Avery Fantom 🕊

LIGHTBRINGERS OUT NOW ✨

not everyone here came to fit in

some of you came to walk straight into the dark
and not lose your light

most people either avoid the darkness
or get swallowed by it

but the Lightbringer…

feels it
moves through it
and comes out carrying something softer
stronger
truer ✨

this world doesn’t need more noise
it needs more people who can hold light without pretending the dark doesn’t exist

that’s who this track is for

LIGHTBRINGERS with Fusionista & Franko Heke
out now on all platforms 🎶

They told me the swamp wasn't a studio. They were wrong. 🐸🧪

I’ve been prototyping the Celestial Compressor to handle the specific bio-mechanical sub-frequencies we’re pulling for the new @amphia.swamp tracks.

The goal?

Ancient organic textures meets future digital weight.

Is the 'frogstep' movement ready for this? Drop a 🐸 if you want to hear the full synthesis.

AMPHIA is more than Swampstep.
It’s an alchemical world.
An innerspace. 🌌

“Amphi” means both sides.
And “-ia” turns it into a land,
a condition,
a state of being.

Not only one or the other...
The space where both are true.
A Cityscape of Trees.

"The Land of Both Sides."

AMPHIA is the realm of the in-between ✨️
where bass behaves like biology🐸
and rhythm learns how to breathe twice.

A double existence.
Digital and organic.
Gills and lungs.

If an amphibian is the creature,
AMPHIA is the atmosphere that lets it live.

You don’t visit it.
You enter it.

🚨 NEW ALBUM OUT NOW!!🚨

We are proud to present you with another heavy duty Masterpiece! Lets start 2026 off proper!!

ConfiA - "The Trust Of Justice"
Lyrics Written & Performed by @tonylxor
Produced/Mixed/Mastered by @trust_one_official
Vinyl Mastered by @starfrog.mastering

Featuring appearances by @ghostvolume_
@nusetyrant @heresjohnny850, Rootz & @somniumsoundz

LIMITED EDITION CASSETTES, CDS, T SHIRTS AND RECORD/VINYL (LYRICS PRINTED ON RECORD SLEEVE!)
EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE AT
M25MUSIC.BANDCAMP.COM

In a genre often defined by stagnation, Lxor and Trust One have delivered a manifesto that feels less like a music album and more like a broadcast from a higher consciousness. The project is a collision of two distinct worlds: the breakneck lyrical detail, precise algorithmic flow of Lxor and the chaotic, organic, soul-drenched production of Trust One.

Trust One provides a backdrop that is disorienting yet deeply groovy. The beats are built on a foundation of doubled, frenetic drum breaks, slowed to a hypnotic, sludge-like tempo. These are layered with washing, psychedelic synth textures and warm, crackling samples that provide a haunting emotional counterpoint to the percussion.

Lxor operates as the machine in the ghost. His delivery is deliberate with an intense complex rhyme style that can feel like data processing rather than traditional rapping. He doesn’t just ride the beat; he dissects it. His wordplay is intricate and multi-syllabic, requiring multiple listens to decode.

The album is a scorching indictment of late-stage capitalism, government overreach, and the hoarding of wealth. Lxor positions himself as a digital insurgent, breaking down the “Confia” through a lens of historical resistance and futuristic paranoia.

⚠️ LAB UPDATE: To everyone asking for a release date on the new unit... we have a situation.

I’ve been stress-testing the Analog Frog prototype, and I think I pushed the voltage a little too hard. The results are unstable. It doesn't just saturate the audio—it wakes up minds. It breaks reality. It hijacks the stream.

My DMs are blowing up, but we are facing some unique technical difficulties.

Yes, the saturation is incredible.
No, it is not available for purchase yet.
Why? Because the units are prone to spontaneous forest teleportation and ego death. 🌲🧘‍♂️

We are still working out the bugs. Literally. 🐸
