Tape B continues his streak of groundbreaking releases with “Nocturnal,” a dynamic collaboration with masked riddim artist VKTM. The track, released today, serves as the lead single for Tape B’s highly anticipated upcoming EP, which he teased on Instagram following his appearance at Subtronics’ Bill Graham Civic Auditorium show in San Francisco.
“Nocturnal” was first unleashed to an electric crowd at Lost Lands in September, where it quickly became one of the festival’s most sought-after IDs. The track pairs Tape B’s meticulous songwriting and cutting-edge sound design with VKTM’s signature heavy riddim basslines, creating an adrenaline-filled journey that showcases the strengths of both artists. Its raw energy and crowd-tested appeal have made it a standout in Tape B’s recent sets, including stops on his national headline tour and his support slot for Subtronics at Cyclops Dome in Tacoma, Washington.
This release cements Tape B’s position as one of the most innovative artists in bass music, further bolstered by a string of notable collaborations in 2024. Highlights include “Trippy Land” with Mersiv and Juicy J, “Ganja Tape” with Ganja White Night, and the star-studded “Gas Pedal Remix” alongside John Summit, Subtronics, and Sage the Gemini.
Tape B’s ability to seamlessly merge the nostalgic vibes of old-school dubstep with fresh, modern bass elements has made him a fan favorite. “Nocturnal” exemplifies this approach, offering an exciting preview of what fans can expect from his forthcoming EP. With each release, Tape B continues to push sonic boundaries, and “Nocturnal” is no exception—a track sure to dominate playlists and festival stages alike.
Looking ahead, fans can be excited about Tape B’s forthcoming two-night run at Mission Ballroom, as well as the release of his next EP, which promises to deliver some of his most anticipated IDs yet.

Raised in upstate New York, I was always a big fan of music but never really listened to electronic music. Within the first month of attending Florida State University and meeting some new friends, I was introduced to the rave scene. After seeing Ekali at my first show, I was instantly hooked. Since then, I have dived into every subgenre of electronic music, picked up DJing, and mixed for clubs and different entertainment events in Tallahassee. Once graduating with degrees in marketing and hospitality, I was hired for a sales position. However, I recently decided to leave my sales job to pursue my dream of working in the music industry. Currently, I run Magnetic Magazine's Melodic Techno Charts, along with my role as a PR and marketing specialist for different artists and labels. Some of my favorite artists are REZZ, Kyle Watson, TOBEHONEST, San Pacho, Josh Baker, HUGEL, ARTBAT, Vintage Culture, Ganja White Night, CamelPhat, Green Velvet, Jungle, Milky Chance, Paco Versailles, Franc Moody, and RÜFUS DU SOL. My favorite festivals are Hulaween (by far), EDC Orlando, and all the different venues during Miami Music Week. Outside of music, I love sports (especially hockey, soccer, tennis, basketball, and spike ball), going to the movies, working out, sushi, Chick-fil-A, food in general, and hanging with my dog Maui and my cat Loki. Feel free to reach out to me via my email or on IG, I love expanding my network of friends and business opportunities!
