“Poliwonk” is a heady, off-center beat that blends clever rhythm with a sly experimental edge. The track plays with layers and textures, twisting and reshaping them into something both hypnotic and unexpected. Its groove is undeniable, but there’s a cerebral quality too—like it’s winking at you while still making you nod along. Equal parts quirky and commanding, “Poliwonk” feels like Tape Lab at their most mischievous. It’s a beat that sticks, bending rules while keeping the vibe locked in.

“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.

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.
