DUBPLATE DELI VOL. 1 is Out Now

Dubplate Deli Vol. 1 by Tape Lab OUT NOW on all streaming platforms.

Tape Lab has a new 2-track EP out in the wild: DUBPLATE DELI VOL. 1.

Originally recorded in 2024 and released in 2025, DUBPLATE DELI VOL. 1 is vintage Tape Lab: groove-first, rhythm-heavy, and built for bodies in a room. The focus is on danceable movement, weighty low end, and that slightly cooked energy that happens when ideas get captured before they’re polished into something boring.

This one is a heavy dubstep driver, built with the old dubplate mindset in mind: make it fast, make it hit, get it ready for the weekend, and let the system decide if it survives. No committee meetings. No six-month rollout strategy. Just bass, pressure, and a couple of questionable food jokes.

The EP features two tracks:

Both tracks lean into a loose “Deli” motif — somewhere between a blue plate diner, a late-night counter order, and whatever dumb pun survived the recording session. Is it stupid? Sure. So what. The tunes still move.

TAPE LAB MAKES DUBSTEP

It’s dubstep for the heads, the lurkers, the basement crews, the late arrivals, and anyone who still thinks music should sound like it was made by actual people with questionable sleep schedules.

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.
