TSQ LIVE Summer Friday: Tape B & Dr. Fresch

TSQ LIVE is turning up the heat with the Summer Friday concert series in Times Square this season. From pop-up shows with top charting artists, to the trendiest up-and-coming artists hitting the airwaves, this series aims to showcase a wide range of talent across all genres with a strong focus on showcasing independent artists of the New York City music scene. Musicians from New York City and beyond will present free concerts, many of whom will be celebrating the debut of new songs or an upcoming summer album release.

Tape B, born Kemal Berk Alkanat, is a dynamic force in today’s electronic music scene, merging the nostalgic vibes of old-school dubstep with contemporary bass music and hip-hop. Born in Turkey and raised in the U.S. from the age of three, Tape B brings a distinctive sound that captivates with a blend of nostalgia and modernity, termed "Old School x New School."

In 2013 after winning Insomniac’s Discovery Project Contest, Tony Fresch launched the Dr. Fresch project. His debut self-titled EP and innovative hip-hop remixes quickly exploded in the blogosphere. Dr. Fresch’s music weaves together elements of house, hip-hop, and midtempo to create a unique, forward-thinking sound. Over the summer of 2015, Dr. Fresch launched his semi-monthly mix series “House Call” which has since garnered tens of millions of plays. The Dr. Fresch brand has continued to grow with the launch of his record label “House Call Records.” Dr. Fresch plays a prominent role on the festival circuit with plays at likes EDC Las Vegas, Lollapalooza, Shambhala, Electric Forest, CRSSD, Electric Zoo, Splash House, Osheaga, and many more.
