Science Labs

Science Labs is a beattape created by Mike Barkhoff and released June 8th, 2018.

Barkhoff jokingly released it on the same day as Kanye West's album "ye" to evoke competition and to mimick J. Cole's doing the same on the day of "Yeezus"' release.

Production
Barkhoff was experimenting with instrumentals and spent a night putting the tape together, trying to be original and creative. He played around with left and right sounds - while the other is cut off from hearing - during the making of, which was one of the major inspirations behind why he began the EP.

Two covers exist for the project. Both are templatic in nature of the other but one features a colorful pattern at the bottom and the other is purely black and white. The color pattern was repurposed for the back cover on Barkhoff's instagram.
