Hailing from Charlottesville, in the United States, Tapu PW is an emerging producer and artist that blends hip-hop dynamics with exhilarating glitch and hyperpop aesthetics. His track “dangerous (electricity)” offers an uncanny view into his world, built around vocal modulations, simple beats and thoughtful lyrics about the immediacy of human connection. The artist crafts a distinctive sound filled with just as much depth as it is with electronic experimentations.
On “dangerous (electricity)”, however, Tapu PW leans more on his sensitive side with a charming bedroom pop approach to the production. Displaying key elements of lo-fi hip-hop and early 2000s indie pop, “dangerous” reveals itself as an introspective track that reflects on how emotions can be understood through energy and electricity. It’s a powerful-yet-intimate song that touches on themes that are way more philosophical than they initially appear to be, adding layers upon layers of mystical lyricism and thought-provoking production.
Tapu views technology as a form of love itself, bringing a unique perspective to the music world. He sounds vulnerable and completely open on his new single, bringing forth feelings of attraction, love, and desire that are interchangeable with how our modern world works around electricity. It’s a fascinating track that feels like a shock to the system, at the same time that it lays you down gently afterwards.
“Love is electric and it’s something you can feel. Everything is mechanical at the end of the day,” the artist himself says about the track. The most remarkable aspects of it are how he manages to explore such contemporary themes with a timelessness to them. Humans have been making art about love and connection since the beginning of days, sometimes the spark just comes from a different source. And on Tapu PW’s case, the spark comes from the spark itself.
