Never heard anything like that bass line before.

Gundam is a long-running Japanese franchise that began in 1979 with the anime Mobile Suit Gundam, introducing giant humanoid mecha known as “mobile suits.” The series revolutionized the genre by focusing on realistic military science fiction, where war, politics, and human drama are central themes. At its core, Gundam explores the human cost of conflict, often depicting battles between Earth-based governments and space colonies seeking independence. The mobile suits themselves—especially the iconic RX-78-2 Gundam—have become cultural icons, inspiring countless sequels, spin-offs, model kits, and video games. Today, Gundam stands as one of Japan’s most influential and enduring pop culture exports, blending high-tech spectacle with moral complexity.

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.
