Locked in the depths of his studio for the last several months, Hapa has been hard at work on his debut album. The fruits of his efforts were finally becoming apparent last month as he slowly rolled out a couple of singles from the piece, keeping his fans intrigued and excited for the full project. As the gnarly yet groovy ‘Chrome‘ featuring Dayle and the bouncy house ‘Liquid Legs‘ came to light, many started noticing that Memory Screen was going to be an album unlike any other.
Already earning praise from the likes of Chee, Tsuruda, Noer the Boy and many more, Memory Screen is an intense journey into the future of experimental bass music. Exploring everything from trap to house without ever letting go of his neuro signature, Hapa has created a thirteen-piece project that is worthy of awards. Tracks such as ‘Float’ with Jon Casey and Aedfx and ‘Nine’ with Great Dane display Hapa’s incredible ability to work with others and blend different styles and sounds flawlessly. On the other hand, the LA-based talent flexes his masterful, solo production skills in songs such as ‘Phntm,’ ‘Worms’ and ‘Shkuurrrrp.’ Leaving listeners breathless with his versatility, energy and innate aptitude of sprinkling filthy wobbles in just about every type of track, Hapa has gone beyond expectations with Memory Screen.
Hapa’s debut album requires a full listen-through to appreciate its full potency and complexity. Check it out below.
