Tape B at Rawhide: The SoundCloud Sets to Run Through Before You See Him Live
Few artists in bass music have built a following quite like Tape B. Long before his festival billing started climbing higher and higher, fans were discovering him through SoundCloud, where every mix felt less like a playlist and more like a journey through dubstep’s past and future. His style has become instantly recognizable, blending nostalgic hip hop samples, old school dubstep influences, filthy bass lines, and seamless transitions that somehow make every drop feel even bigger than the last. As Tape B prepares to bring his signature sound to Rawhide this August 29th, now is the perfect time to understand why so many fans consider his SoundCloud page required listening before seeing him live. If you’re planning to catch his set this fall, these are the mixes worth adding to your rotation.
HALLOW TAPES EP
If you’re looking for the Tape B project that really tells the story of who he was before the massive festival bookings, HALLOW TAPES is it. Released in October 2021, the six-track EP arrived before the CarTunes series exploded and before collaborations with artists like Wooli, John Summit, and GRiZ put him on an even bigger stage. It captures the raw blueprint of what would become the Tape B sound, balancing dark atmosphere, nostalgic dubstep influences, and polished production that still holds up today.

Mutiny Shareholders Meeting
For fans who appreciate longer-form mixes, Mutiny Shareholders Meeting remains one of Tape B’s early classics. Running well over an hour, it showcases the creativity that first earned him a cult following on SoundCloud. The blend of underground dubstep, rap edits, and unexpected throwbacks demonstrates his ability to tell a story rather than simply play track after track. You can hear the evolution between HALLOW TAPES and the CarTunes era beginning to take shape.

Car Tunes Vol. 3
By the time CarTunes Vol. 3 landed on SoundCloud in January 2024, Tape B was no longer an underground secret. Fans had been waiting months for the next installment, and somehow he still managed to exceed expectations. Clocking in at just over an hour, the mix feels less like a collection of songs and more like a carefully crafted experience that never loses its momentum. It is the kind of mix you put on for a drive and suddenly realize you’ve been sitting in the parking lot because you couldn’t bring yourself to turn it off.

Vibe Check Vol. 3
Once you’ve experienced CarTunes, move directly into Vibe Check Vol. 3. This mix showcases Tape B’s versatility. One minute you’re nodding along to smooth vocal edits, and the next you’re getting blindsided by earth-shaking bass that rattles your speakers. It perfectly captures why his live sets appeal to both longtime dubstep fans and newer listeners who appreciate creative mashups and flawless transitions.
