That led me to explore channels like UKF, where I discovered artists like Doctor P, Bar9, and Flux Pavilion,” he says. During his senior year, he attended raves and EDM events like Life in Color, Ultra Music Festival, and Sunset Music Festival. Like anyone new to the scene, he first devoured music by big-room house acts like Tiësto before eventually moving on to trap and dubstep. He credits his musical journey as pivotal to the formation of his sound. “Each phase, genre, and artist brought some- thing new, and it just kept building from there,” Tape B explains. Tape B’s goal is always to deliver the best set possible since there is no bigger critic about a Tape B set than Tape B himself. “Even if it’s one of the biggest performances of my life, if I come off stage feeling like I could’ve done better or wasn’t happy with it, my whole day or night is ruined. I’ll beat myself up, thinking I messed up, and worry that my fans didn’t enjoy it,” he says. “On the other hand, when I feel like I gave it my all, it’s an incredible high.” He points to his set at Ultra last year as an ex- ample of the latter. “I felt like I delivered the best performance I possibly could, and I actually cried afterward because it was everything I’d ever dreamed of,” Tape B adds. His meticulous nature will undoubtedly be on display when he headlines a Miami Music Week block party at Wynwood Marketplace on Thursday, March 27. Cyclops, Phrva, and Ricky Remedy are also on the lineup, along with a secret special guest. “My main focus was making sure the lineup was fun and exciting. We sit down and brainstorm for as long as it takes, thinking about who’s excit- ing right now and who we’d want to see live. Since we stay tapped into the underground scene, I’m always keeping an eye on who’s releas- ing cool new music. I’m especially excited about the special guest, an OG dubstep artist who got me into music through UKF.” With 2025 just getting started, Tape B isn’t slowing down after MMW. Later this year, he’ll play a sold-out show at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Don’t worry — South Florida is also on the agenda. “The goal is to start with this, but I really want to expand and do more in South Florida. I’ve been getting so much love from Florida recently, and this is where I’m from, where my roots are. I want to give back as much as I can by creating the cool- est events and starting them here.” Tape B Block Party.
