Things are getting better but they're also #GettingWorst.

Getting Worst

Tasty Tape Treets

Certainly synthwave. Cymbals, and prescious rituals. tie them to their body. Spacey and special, this one comes from the heart and the head. Driving grooves and grungy bass. The message is mixed. Hip hop beat

The body is incredible, remixed with lyrix #WomenWhoRunWithWolves

Tape Gaze (The Body Remix)

Forbidden Knowledge Gang

Cymbals + Rituals

07.02.25 : After a rather long winter break Tape Lab & Brillman are back on track! 
The creative juices from New York and “outside Oslo” are once again flowing:) The process of choosing between many different songs/jams/tracks/ideas can be a slow, laborious task but someone’s gotta do it! Through weeks/even months of trial & error serendipity (once again) saved the day. 
A guitar take by Brillman from 2008 was forged with that fine Tape Lab release called “Hyper Cerebreality” to make a happy jazz-house mix (128 bpm) that is 12:45 minutes long:) Nuff said; enjoy!

Tape Lab & Brillman - Hyper Cerebrillman (Cliquey Remix)

132 bpm! Our latest release has been remixed/merged about 3 times and was originally a Tape Lab track that just kept morphing:) Added too many layers to mention when using Traktor and finally added some Hendrix styled reversed guitar. We labelled it Experimental but is actually like a mix of House & Jazz:)

Btw, there is no trumpet in this mix. What may sound like one (high pitched screeching sound) is actually a micro modular synth (Clavia). So now you know:)

Brillman has been an electronic online musician during the last 20 years using many different names: Brillman, Controlfreak, freakcontrol, Red Karma, Atmosphere, Zero Loop, Pan64, Randomcontrol, geometric delay and Superfreak! Brillman mainly creates original sounds from hardware synths but also uses guitar, samplers, vocals or even poetry. He primarily utilizes a 4 to the floor approach. The aesthetics behind the music is about finding a balance between minimalism vs. depth & improvisation vs. programmed.

Welcome to #TapeLab—stay a while and listen. Founded in 2017 by lifelong friends, Tape Lab is a collective of artists and a hub for innovation, always open to collaboration. With the zeal of a self-published memoir, our sound is our own, but you can be the decider. We make music and art that sounds like it was fun to make and stands out in a sea of bland beats. 

As independent artists, we are always exploring new ways to expand our audience and find new creative outlets—especially with other undiscovered artists!

#TapeLab is currently based out of two headquarters in Durham, NC, and The Hamptons, NY.
