Gabe Ape

Emerging from Florida’s underground electronic scene, GABE APE is a Tampa-based DJ and producer pushing the limits of industrial hard techno and extreme hard dance music. Beginning his production journey in 2016, he developed a sound rooted in aggressive industrial textures and high-energy rhythms before stepping behind the decks in 2023. Within a short time he has performed over 120 events in just a year and a half, bringing his uncompromising sound to clubs, underground venues, and warehouse parties throughout Florida. His performances combine industrial hard techno, reverse bass, hardstyle, gabber, and hard psy-tek, creating relentless high-BPM sets designed for dark dance floors and late-night rave environments. GABE APE has performed extensively across Florida including 20+ appearances at TK Lounge and performances at venues such as Pegasus Lounge and Celine Orlando. He has also held resident DJ positions at Pegasus Lounge, House of Broken Toys, and The Smoking House in St. Petersburg. One of his biggest milestones came when he headlined Berlin Techno Night at Celine Orlando, performing for a crowd of 500+ attendees. He has shared lineups with artists including Trihoof and AfterFX, and continues expanding his presence within the underground techno movement. As a producer, he has released tracks including “This Is Cocaine,” “The Intro,” and “Mr Runaway.”
