FEATURING

Tape Lab has always been a collaborative experiment: part record label, part live project, part beautiful mistake caught on tape. The Featuring page celebrates the artists, aliases, crews, friends, side quests, and sonic troublemakers who have appeared across Tape Lab releases—from the original reLux sessions in Efland to the Diablo-era live chaos of Late Night Nephalem, the Imperfectionistism bars of Longshanx, and the electronic precision of Brillman.

Featured Artists & Collaborators:

reLux | Late Night Nephalem | Reverend Longshanx | Brillman | THE BINKY | BRILPOOL | DJ WRLDWRST | Stank Nitty | N@T* | Lil’ Uzi Virg | Pepper Allison | The Triangle Scheme

DJ WRLDWRST

DJ WRLDWRST (World's Worst) is the world’s worst DJ. Maybe he’s drunk when he spins, maybe he’s sleepwalking, maybe he’s just gleefully reckless. Whatever the state, the result is irrepressibly funky: warped loops, off-kilter transitions, and basslines that wobble like a city bus on a pothole parade. It sounds messy. It sounds alive. It sounds like a party that forgot to check the rules.

Operated by 2yng2smpl and Tape Lab (unofficially): We Tha Worst! Two crews, one glorious disaster. 2yng2smpl brings the hyperactive sample-chopping and DIY grit; Tape Lab brings the analog warmth, artful chaos, and the relentless love of making music that feels like it was fun to make. Together they curate the delightfully disastrous world of DJ WRLDWRST.

“He’s spinning? Honey, I think the DJ is drunk.” Translation: get on the dancefloor. Expect detours, unexpected drops, and tracks that refuse to behave. Expect an experience that’s fearless, original, and perfectly imperfect — because sometimes the best beats come from not caring too much about the rules.
