Eurotechno Night II

Shadows in Motion moves like a half-lit dream — a drifting pulse where light bends into shadow, and shadow into sound. Every beat feels like a step through the unknown, a fleeting glimpse of something just out of reach. It’s not about finding clarity, but about surrendering to the in-between.

As the ninth and final single leading up to the second album Moments Between (out November 14), Shadows in Motion shows Pillek at his most trip-hop-leaning. Built on downtempo beats and wrapped in an atmospheric, psychedelic haze, the track weaves in elements of hip-hop, soul, and jazz. And then there’s that smooth trumpet line — gliding effortlessly through the mix, giving the track its fluid charm.

The voice of Kaya fits seamlessly, like a velvet blanket around the arrangement, adding warmth and depth to the drifting textures. Meanwhile, the foundation of the track carries Pillek’s signature playfulness: “The beats, man… I just kept messing around — adding, stripping, layering again. At some point you have to stop and say: okay, this is it. It’s not perfect, but the imperfection is what gives the song its character.”

With Shadows in Motion, Pillek closes the single run for Moments Between on a hypnotic note — mysterious yet soothing, imperfect yet alive.

Data Wait

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.
