WHAT IS BASSNECTAR?
A freeform
project that merges music, art, new media, social
involvement, and community values; dedicated to a
constantly-evolving ethos of collaborative creation,
self-reinvention, and boundary-pushing experimentation.
While existing as a mutating collaborative effort,
Bassnectar is traditionally the amorphous music project
of Lorin Ashton, a San Francisco based Musician /
Producer / DJ, (“probably the largest cult following
of any DJ in San Francisco” – SF Weekly)
highlighted by massive basslines, thick mob scene
beats, freakshow energy, emotive melodics, traditional
acoustic instrumentation, and fearless mashing of
genres, styles, sounds, moods, and approaches. Fusing
elements of midtempo breakbeats, big beat, old school
hip hop and dub, DnB, glitch, IDM, electronica, death
metal, grindcore, punk rock, alternative, folk, swing,
and jazz; and sampling anything from the human history
of sound and music, Bassnectar might be most accurately
described as “omni-tempo maximalism."
