Tape B is known for his hard-hitting, nostalgic flips of hip-hop staples, including remixes of TLC’s “No Scrubs,” A$AP Rocky’s “Peso” and “Goldie.” Having built a reputation for putting a fresh spin on timeless classics, he can now add Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black” to the list, teaming up with Effin for a bass-driven reimagining. After months of anticipation, the track has finally arrived!
Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black” is widely recognized as one of her most raw and relatable tracks, with lyrics that echo themes of heartbreak, self-destruction, and addiction. Tape B and Effin’s spin preserves that emotional vulnerability while layering in dynamic drops and sharp basslines. Serving as both a tribute and a modern, forward-thinking rework, the track perfectly balances her timeless vocals with beats ready for the dance floor.
Both Effin and Tape B were at Excision’s Lost Lands this year for the United States’ biggest bass music festivals. Friday’s attendees had the pleasure of hearing the new “Back to Black” flip, with both artists on the Prehistoric Stage during Tape B’s set. Check out a clip from the set below!
If you weren’t able to catch “Back to Black” at Lost Lands this year, don’t worry – Tape B isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Having recently announced Phase 2 of “The Soundtrack to Everything” tour, he has shows planned through December 19, with stops in Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, New York, California, and more. This insane run of shows will feature support from Cool Customer, know good, MPH, Saka B2B Fly, PHRVA, STVSH, Super Future, Ashez, cozykev, and RSUN.
