Lots of good material here. Maybe too much for one song?

CD+ Plus More

“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.

A Baoa Qu is a space fortress featured in in Mobile Suit Gundam. It was Principality of Zeon's last defense line in the One Year War. 

A Baoa Qu was the Principality of Zeon's largest and most powerful asteroid base. A Baoa Qu was a fusion of two asteroids into one, forming an "umbrella"-like shape; its size is about 33.75km tall and 22.5km in diameter. A Baoa Qu was built in the opposite L2 point orbit, placing it directly opposite from the Zeon Homeland in Side 3. A Baoa Qu provided rear defense, while the Zeon's Solomon space fortress served as a frontline base.

The space fortress served as the Zeon Military Force's general headquarters for their space fleet. It also was used as a mobile weapons production factory. It was the scene of the titanic Battle of A Baoa Qu, one of the greatest battles of the One Year War. Unlike the earlier battle of Solomon, it was a hard-fought victory for the Federation.

After the One Year War, A Baoa Qu was kept by the Republic of Zeon following the signing of the Treaty of Granada. Later, in June U.C. 0087, the Republic of Zeon would hand it over to the Earth Federation's Titans special force, who would rename it the Gate of Zedan. The space fortress was completely destroyed in U.C. 0088 when the mobile asteroid base Axis rammed and broke the Gate of Zedan into two.

“Last Night Out” plays like a neon-soaked memory, a callback beat that nods to classic Tape Lab inspiration while carving its own lane. It channels the energy of Neo Tokyo on the brink—specifically that fleeting night before Tetsuo’s chaos—alive with tension, swagger, and possibility. The rhythm has a cinematic edge, pulsing with Yamaguchi-style finesse and a futuristic gleam. Synths shimmer like city lights while the beat hums like engines revving under neon skies. “Last Night Out” feels like cruising on light bikes at midnight, knowing everything is about to change.

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.
