“Poliwonk” is a heady, off-center beat that blends clever rhythm with a sly experimental edge. The track plays with layers and textures, twisting and reshaping them into something both hypnotic and unexpected. Its groove is undeniable, but there’s a cerebral quality too—like it’s winking at you while still making you nod along. Equal parts quirky and commanding, “Poliwonk” feels like Tape Lab at their most mischievous. It’s a beat that sticks, bending rules while keeping the vibe locked in.

“High Skates” spins Tanya Harding’s infamous story into something playful, with a beat that’s light, catchy, and full of bounce. Fun and upbeat, it leans into a pop-like energy that feels instantly radio-friendly. The rhythm glides as smoothly as its title suggests, keeping things tongue-in-cheek without losing groove. It’s cheeky, polished, and easy to love—a track that skates between humor and pure replay value.

Riccarton Junction drifts through a remote corner of the Liddel Valley, where the remnants of a once-busy border settlement lie quietly beneath pine and silence. This spoken word piece traces the journey north from Saughtree Fell to the ghostly clearing where Riccarton once connected lives, steel, and stories. The track moves slowly, like breath through mist, shaped by soft rhythms, field-like textures, and a voice that emerges then fades again — like footsteps on forgotten ballast.

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.
