Tape Lab x Brillman, Bad Weather 26.06.24:

It's getting hotter, drier, wetter and more extreme every day. Little by little. An omnipresent haze of unseen greenhouse gas. Bad Weather getting worse. Bad Weather you believe it or not. An incremental, subtle centigrade of decimals. Sound swirls, a high-pressure system of atmosphere and entropy.

Two things taken together: Brillman x Tape Lab and global warming. Both coming at you all the time on all sides. Unavoidable yet often ignored.

If you don’t feel it, just wait. Echoes from the past, thought long lost to the ice, thawed and dislodged - glacial gifts as artifacts frozen for the future. A yawning and unexplored expanse of liminal space in between the calm and calamity - a cocooning cacophony.

A cyclical ricochet reverb bounced back and forth across a rapidly warming earth.

Layers of samples compose an atmosphere, insulating from and for chaos and Kaossilator. Words concealed as sound speak volumes behind a Vangelic vision (Text by Tape Lab). 

Btw, we made this one downloadable. 
Ps. Please listen on decent headphones as the stereo spread helps to survive the chaos:)

Tape Lab & Brillman - Bad Weather (Traktor mix)

07.07.24: Received Tape Lab’s mix a while ago and it already sounded good in it’s original state. “Capacity Bus” included a Moog bass, nice synth lines/melodies and the sample “i have the capacity to change…”. Loved it immediately. Now I only had to find the correct bpm and a track to blend “Capacity bus” with. Enter my old track “3 Scenarios” which chugs along with a hip-hop style beat and includes the vox of climate scientist Will Steffen. Using Traktor/S8 the 2 tracks lined up perfectly and really complemented each other. They form a kind of synthesis where our individual parts blend together as one musical shape/form moving in perfect synchronicity.

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.
