HAPE – MICRODOTS
New EP Out July 1st
This summer, HAPE returns with a brand new release: MICRODOTS, a 6-track EP filled with
unusual melodies and dancefloor-friendly rhythms. The music moves fluidly between
mysterious atmospheres and uplifting, joyful vibes—like biting into a ripe tropical fruit. It’s
a sonic experience that feels just as right on a hot summer day as it does on a long winter
night.
This marks HAPE’s third release, following up his previous EP Night-Life in under a year.
Both have been released by Finnish label EABE. The inspiration behind this productive
streak? A wave of positive feedback on Night-Life, with the track “Messages” even selected
for Beatport’s own Best of Electro playlist.
The title MICRODOTS is inspired by the cover artwork—selected from HAPE’s own visual
art. When looking at the image, tiny dots seem to appear, although none are actually
there. It’s a purely geometric composition that plays tricks on the eye, creating an optical
illusion through form and pattern.
HAPE, also known as Taavi Tulev, is not only a music producer but also a geometric artist,
soundscape designer, and nature recordist.
