Music Production | Mixing | Academy

what we can do for you

The short version: Tapelab is all about music production, songwriting, mixing and boosting the skills of musical talent through our academy. But of course there’s more to it. Think of us as your creative partner, production team and mentor. If you’re looking to create a pop, techno, indie, dance or drum ‘n bass record, Tapelab is where you need to be.

About us

Tapelab is the musical child of Pascal Oorts (Mintzkov, Chackie Jam). After opening his own studio in 2016, he quickly made waves producing and mixing Studio Brussel’s De Nieuwe Lichting winner Chackie Jam. Gigs started coming in at full speed, amounting to a whopping 150+ national and international releases, on top of 8 million Spotify Streams. Having recently signed a songwriting deal with EMG, Tapelab is all set for a bright future. 

On top of being a composer, mixer, music producer and studio engineer, Pascal masters the balance between studio and family life, taking care of his daughter and spending time with his loving partner.

what the artists say

Our approach as a
one-stop music shop

It all starts with an idea

A chord progression, a sound, a few words or even a voice memo you recorded once on the train. However the idea materialises, we uncover its potential and get creative.

Then we turn it into a song

Starting from scratch or tying together loose parts, we let the music flow and apply songwriting essentials that turn it into a song.

Make it yours

Everyone has a story. And even if you don’t know it yet, somewhere deep down, you have an artistic vision and a specific taste for aesthetics. We find yours and turn it into your unique sound. Then we apply it to arrangements, song structure, sound design and, of course, recording.

Make it sound banger

We turn the knobs and dive into the tiniest details to create an incredible immersive sound experience. We use our years of experience to mix and master your music. Everything to do your song justice and have it radio-ready.

And then make sure the world hears it

Uploading that very first track on Spotify feels amazing, but we can do so much more. We make sure people actually get to hear your music, with Spotify playlisting campaigns, Facebook ads and general social media consultancy. Tapelab’s got you covered with full-blown release campaigns on social media and beyond. We’ll set the stage your music deserves.
