BASED IN RIGA

Sirdsapes

Taking its name from the Latvian word for “heartache”, Riga-based Sirdsapes coined a self-styled Hyper-breaks sound: golden-age breakbeat, distorted nu-rave grooves and futuristic electro pushed into one restless form.

Emerging from the Baltic underground and shaped by a turbulent post-pandemic landscape, the project grew from basement parties and illegal raves into a defiant expression of new-wave rave culture. Rejecting commercial formulas and radio-friendly expectations, Sirdsapes treats music as a form of protest—raw, unfiltered and fiercely individual.

In his own words: “Love is everything. Punk is forever.”
