“National Genagraphic” is a heartfelt homage to Gena, a friend and photographer whose work and spirit inspire the track. The beat is calm and soothing, unfolding with the easy flow of a sonic safari—unhurried, exploratory, and full of texture. At the same time, it carries a poppy brightness, weaving in a reggae-inspired sound that feels uplifting and approachable. There’s a balance here between playful rhythm and genuine warmth, making it as memorable as its muse. A popular favorite, “National Genagraphic” celebrates creativity and connection with an infectious groove.

There's a Tape in my Heart and it's always beating. What does that even mean? Who even cares? Not me because my heart pumps magnetic spools of tape. My organs are gears. Okay, so you get it. Working with some funky vocodor on the R3, and all the beats are made on the Kaossilator, which is a throwback to the old Tape Lab days. 

Here are the lyrics, for those following along at home.
Theres a Tape in my Heart/
and its always beating

Living in this body 
and its always needing

Who's Gonna Save the Data?

Tryin' to find a way to the Wayback. 
From the wayback.
Tape Lab in Your Maybach
Take that back,
Don't have a Tape Deck

Throw it online, who gives a heck
Paycheck.

UNRELEASED SECOND VERSE
Tryin to pave the way but you ain't paid yet
like you're tryin to find the grave if you haven't paid yet
are you rich or do you gotta check?
Is that a benz or a cevrolet?
Take it back if you don't know who said that
Tape Lab is busy rollin' b's
Royalties cuz we hit it big
business but thats nunya,

Cringe Coded

Tape Heart

You can be my Universe,
You can be my Century,
Universal Century
My Universe Essentially.

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.
