HAGA187

From Basslines To Songs

Post-punk gives my music its structure. Electronics shape the body. Minimalism is the philosophy.

The project

Haga187 is the solo project of Peter Dos Santos, a Lille-based multi-instrumentalist, producer, and composer working at the intersection of post-punk, experimental music, and alternative sound design.

Bass at the center

Built around a bass-driven approach, Haga187 develops a distinctive sonic identity where repetition, tension, and minimal structures form the foundation of each composition. Drawing from post-punk, indie, and experimental influences, the project avoids conventional songwriting in favor of atmosphere, progression, and controlled dynamics.

Made independently

Entirely self-produced, Haga187 operates as a one-man system where bass, texture, rhythm, and space interact to create immersive and often narrative-driven pieces. The project’s prolific discography reflects a consistent artistic vision, moving between raw, confrontational tracks and more restrained, hypnotic soundscapes.

Press and radio

Haga187 has gained support from a growing international network of underground media, including Thoughts Words Action, RockerMag, Pop Fantasma, The Heavy Melody, Rocanrol, Ladosis, and others, along with radio support from Groover Radio, Indie AM, Indie CR, and Radio Nova Costa Rica. The project has also been featured in curated playlists alongside artists such as Franz Ferdinand, Kasabian, and The Black Keys, highlighting its ability to bridge experimental approaches with a broader indie audience.
