New from Tape Lab & Brillman
After a rather long winter break Tape Lab & Brillman are back on track!
The creative juices from New York and “outside Oslo” are once again flowing:) The process of choosing between many different songs/jams/tracks/ideas can be a slow, laborious task but someone’s gotta do it! Through weeks/even months of trial & error serendipity (once again) saved the day. A guitar take by Brillman from 2008 was forged with that fine Tape Lab release called “Hyper Cerebral” to make a happy jazz-house mix (128 bpm) that is 12:45 minutes long:) Nuff said; enjoy!

New Release: Juxtaposeur
New album from Tape Lab originally recorded in 2024 and just retroactively released on all streaming platforms - JUXTAPOSEUR. The album title is a play on words between juxtaposition (smashing two sounds together) and “poseur” (using presets). Anyway, enjoy!

Unreleased Dub Plates from Tape Lab
Lets get ready for some Dubplates. From what I understand, which is little, a dubplate is an unreleased song that is used for DJs to play before an official release. In that sense, these EPs are somewhat influenced.
Tape Lab x Brillman, Bad Weather
It's getting hotter every day. Little by little. An omnipresent haze of unseen greenhouse gas. Bad Weather getting worse. Bad Weather you believe it or not. An incremental, subtle centigrade of decimals. Sound swirls, a high-pressure system of atmosphere and entropy.
