Tapage
Tapage began as an axe-grinder for a short-lived metal/hip-hop band in the Netherlands.

Since 2008, Tapage has become a staple of the Tympanik family with two well-received solo albums The Institute of Random Events in 2008, Fallen Clouds in 2009, and his collaboration album Etched In Salt with Meander in 2010. Now this glitch guru of The Netherlands returns with a stunning new collection of works titled Overgrown.
Tapage presents fourteen playful new songs full of intertwining pops, clicks, and glitchy rhythms surrounded by warm bass tones and winding melodies. From the mischievous dsp-laden beats and embracing air of “Loss”, the warped low-end bass and clutching click-n-cut percussion of “Xyloplax”, to the massive basslines and delicious glitch rhythms of “Leptoid”, and the smooth ambiance of “Pockets”, ‘Overgrown’ manages to reveal as well as entice with a range of emotions and styles. A serendipitous and unique journey perfect for headphone excursions.
