Tapage began as an axe-grinder for a short-lived metal/hip-hop band in the Netherlands. He soon departed from his roots when introduced to tracker programming and began developing electronic beats and fusing guitar with synthetic sounds. It wasnt long before Tapage started formulating his own style, experimenting with the vast possibilities of electronic sound manipulation.

Inspired by IDM and Breakcore genres, as well as Post-Rock and Avant-Garde composers, Tapage continued with his vision to merge complicated, harsh rhythms with dream-like atmospheres to createa unique dynamic that is virtually impossible to ignore.

Brilliant or misunderstood The Netherland's native Tapage caused quite a stir with his debut album 'The Institute Of Random Events' last year for Tympanik Audio. Some have described his sound as utterly groundbreaking, while others carelessly dismissed his unique vision of futuristic dark IDM. No matter how you cut it, Tapage has charmed his way into the hearts of Tympanik Audio listeners and is undoubtably here to stay.

Tympanik Audio is proud to present the highly engaging new album by Tapage titled 'Fallen Clouds' available now. A destination that never reveals, leaving the listener in a serendipitous dream state while continuously surrounded by sticky beats, addictive rhythms, and trip-tech electronic collages. A master craftsman of progressive Electronica, Tapage combines smart beats, perfect and stirring pattern timing with dense and alluring atmospheres.
