Countdown to Street Scene: Bassnectar

Oliver Correa / August 20, 2009

Back in the 1990′s, Lorin Ashton began experimenting with freeform electronic music as a way to fuse youth culture and social action. This exploration grew into the being known as Bassnectar, a reverberation whose structure attacks every genre imaginable. He defines his sound as “omnitempo maximalism” where the dubs stretch across all rhythms, tempos, and time signatures.

Be sure to catch Bassnectar next week as he tears up the Casbah Stage at the San Diego Street Scene, Saturday August 29th. If you can’t make it out west, he is coming to Irving Plaza on November 13th.

Check out his latest EP, Cozza Frenzy, on iTunes here and have a listen to his live mix for KISS FM below.
