tapecut Arrives on UZ’s Quality Goods Records With Fresh "Pentrat" EP

Having been on the radar of UZ and his Quality Goods Records since 2016, tapecut is finally coming to the label with his first full release, dropping a menacing 4-track EP called Pentrat. The Russian producer has been homing his craft for some time now after starting to get involved with electronic music at the age of 17. Prestigious labels such as Mad Decent, Buygore and Fool's Gold have been drawn in by his aggressive productions, which have also been taking live sets by storm, most notably being played out by the likes of UZ, Noisia and Fabian Mazur.

Pentrat brings together all the qualities that make tapecut’s music so unique: filthy, experimental bass drops and heavenly melodic breaks. “Beast” opens up the project with an ominous intro and gritty brass stabs that explode in the drop while “Faded” fuses Eastern soundscapes with brain-melting sound design. “Rumble” is an ode to the classic electronic-trap sound that UZ helped popularize throughout the past decade, while “Brklyn” closes out the EP in a classy way, driven by glitchy textures and gritty sonics.
