“Collidescope” is a straight-up banger from CD+, an instrumental hip hop track built to rattle walls and wobble speakers. The beat is heavy, layered, and unapologetically bold, driving forward with precision and power. Its textures collide and twist into each other, creating a kaleidoscopic rush of sound that feels both chaotic and tightly controlled. Every drop lands with weight, keeping the energy surging from start to finish. “Collidescope” doesn’t just play—it crushes.

Brillman x Tape Lab back at it again, this time with some small changes, just a few minor edits, nothing big, just a — microTWEAK. Building on an initial and explosive creative clash, Tape Lab & Brillman have delivered another melodic, composed and unexpected release.

Transferred at the speed of light (115bpm) across the Atlantic Ocean. Initial melodies were recorded via the Yamaha RM1X with space/reverb added from the Korg Kaos DJ Pad. Basslines were recorded on the Moog Sub37. Brillman remixed with additional drums/synths/sounds including the brilliant microFREAK. But, ultimately, the star of the show is Brillman’s expertly composed and eclectic sonic palette and, definitely, skills as a mixer and master-er.

Fearlessly, new sounds echo in and out, ricocheting off of other beats and bloops, a confetti of sounds raining down.

Brillman & Tape Lab - microTWEAK [Traktor Mix]

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.
