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.

PS. Please listen on decent headphones as the stereo spread helps to survive the chaos :)

In reference to our old lad Vangelis whose beats are washed in ambience and energy.

Washed Out (Vangelic)

Final fantasy vii influenced and big ps1 vibes from the sound canvas

Were on a train to Shinra
The stole the soul from our planet
They’re taking the Mako
But it’s taking its toll
On the train to shinra

Our hearts are still in Midgar
Amidst the Scar and fellow SOLDIERS

There are no stars in Midgar
Beneath the glow of the up above
Living below the big city

On the train to shinra
They stole the soul of our planet
Taking all the mako
And it’s taking its toll

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.
