May the 4th Be With Your Tape Deck: Tape Lab Releases J Is for Judgment
Star Wars Day 2026 has arrived, and Tape Lab is marking May the 4th in the only way that really makes sense: with a new 3-track EP about falling to the dark side, made with tape, chaos, nostalgia, and a possibly unhealthy attachment to old Star Wars audio.

How Streaming Hurts Music in 2026
Spotify is killing music in 2026
If you are one of Spotify’s 281 million paid users, you just got hit with a price increase in 2026. If each of those people is now paying just $2 more a month, that's over half a billion dollars in new monthly revenue — more than $6 billion a year — on top of what they were already making. And yet, somehow, the people actually making the music are still being paid fractions of a penny per stream.
RADICAL NEW REVERSE ROYALTY PROGRAM
Tape Lab launches the Reverse Royalty Program — a radical initiative paying listeners for every stream. Defy Big Streaming. Get paid to listen. Ever wondered how much artists actually make from streaming platforms? You would be disgusted - nobody, especially not artists who help imbue our lives with meaning, should be making this kind of money from their effort. Shameful.
