Tape B Shows His Soft Side With Dani King on “Underneath Your Skin”

If you’ve been paying attention to the bass scene over the last few years, you already know Tape B is on an absolute tear. Between rinsing his classic hip-hop flips at every major festival and selling out headline shows left and right, he’s become one of the most reliable names in dance music.

But with his latest release, “Underneath Your Skin” featuring vocalist Dani King on Monstercat, he’s showing us a completely different side of his artistry.

Three Years in the Making

What makes this track special isn’t just the final product—it’s the story behind it. Tape B actually sat on this idea for over three years, tweaking, rewriting, and almost scrapping it altogether before finally getting it right.

In a scene that constantly demands new music every single week, it’s refreshing to see an artist take their time. That patience paid off. The track doesn’t sound rushed or forced; it feels like a fully realized piece of music from an artist who refused to settle until it was right. Plus, it serves as his official debut on Monstercat, marking a huge milestone for his growing career.

The Sound: Melodic Meets Heavy

If you’re expecting a wall-to-wall banger, adjust your expectations a bit. “Underneath Your Skin” leans heavily into atmosphere and emotion without losing that signature low-end punch.

• Dani King’s Vocals: Following up on their 2024 collaboration “Someone to Hold,” King delivers an absolute standout vocal performance here. Her voice carries the emotional weight of the track, giving it a soaring, memorable hook.

• The Production: Tape B weaves lush, cinematic chords with rolling basslines. It manages to feel nostalgic to the mid-2010s melodic dubstep era while still sounding completely fresh and modern.

Momentum That Doesn’t Stop

This single drops right in the middle of a massive year for Tape B. Fresh off huge collaborations like “Brackish” with Of The Trees, a massive touring schedule, and legendary career milestones on the horizon, he’s showing zero signs of slowing down.

“Underneath Your Skin” proves that Tape B isn’t just a producer who knows how to flip a classic rap track—he’s a versatile songwriter who can craft a genuinely moving song.
