Jape, the solo project of Irish musician and songwriter Richie Egan, has long been captivating audiences with an eclectic blend of electronica, rock, and experimental pop. Egan, originally hailing from Crumlin in Dublin, began his musical journey as a member of the band The Redneck Manifesto, well-known in Irish underground circles for their post-rock endeavors. He forged the moniker Jape in the early 2000s to explore his individual sonic ambitions, blending organic instrumentation with electronic production to craft a sound that is distinctly his own.

Throughout his career, Jape has garnered critical acclaim and a loyal fanbase through a series of innovative albums and EPs. His discography shows a restless creativity and a willingness to evolve, which can be heard in recent releases like "Endless Thread" and "Lashing Through The Minutes," exemplifying his prowess in synthesizing infectious rhythms with thought-provoking lyrics. Remixes such as "My Time Will Come Again (Jape Remix)" and "Shark Eyes (Jape Remix)" showcase his skill in reimagining the work of others through his unique auditory lens, often infusing them with new energy and texture. With each new release, Jape continues to solidify his reputation as one of Ireland's most inventive and genre-defying artists.
