Tape B Releases Debut Album 'Ghosts In The Static'

A Bridge Between Dubstep Generations

Tape B has released Ghosts In The Static, his debut album that taps into the thick textures, cinematic soundscapes and gritty energy of the dubstep era that shaped his approach to production. Across 12 tracks, the record uses those nostalgic influences as a foundation for something current.

"I wrote this album as a love letter to the era of dubstep that made me fall in love with the genre and to capture what that time felt like to me through my own perspective," Tape B shared on social media. "It's not meant to be a recreation of that era, but my interpretation of what made it so special to me. I took the feelings that inspired me when I first discovered dubstep and pushed it through the way I make music today."

Staying Relevant Without Losing the Roots

The EDM.com Class of 2025 artist has been navigating the tension between honoring the past and connecting with a younger audience discovering bass music for the first time. In a recent interview with EDM.com, he acknowledged the challenge of staying current while remaining true to his influences.

"A lot of music is changing now," he said. "Even with the rap I like, I feel like I'm unc now, listening to 2015 SoundCloud rap. There's younger people coming to our shows, and obviously they know who Juicy J, Mac Miller and ASAP Rocky are. But, a lot of them also listen to a lot of newer artists. I feel like it's on us to learn who these new people are, and be a little bit more relevant. Because you don't want to be unc."

Ghosts In The Static is out now across streaming platforms.
