The electronic dance music scene has exploded with the widest blast radius in music ever, touching the lives of millions of fans and constantly expanding to embrace more into the fold, but who lit the fuse? Who set off this powder keg of music that was clearly just waiting to be detonated and stun the music world? The answer: Bassnectar. This DJ and producer was the electronic dance music scene in America for years. Long before the Electric Daisy Carnival and neon glowsticks and outlandish outfits of ravers, long before dubstep of trip hop have even been conceived, there was Bassnectar, spinning behind the turntables and wowing audiences with his remarkable dexterity with the beat, and now he sits on the electronic dance music scene throne, where his original fans know he's always belonged. With concert tickets from StubHub, you can see Bassnectar live and discover the genius of one of the world's leading DJs!
If you bumped into him on the street and didn't know who he was, you'd probably think Lorin Ashton, aka Bassnectar, was on his way to a seedy underground club to be the frontman for a grunge cover band. But don't let his unruly locks and disheveled appearance fool you. Bassnectar is one of the most celebrated and prodigious DJs in the world, and anyone who does recognize knows they're in the presence of greatness. When Bassnectar gets behind the turntables, what unfolds is nothing short of electronic magic.
One of the most respected and veteran artists in American electronic dance music, Bassnectar was a pioneer when he first started and continues to be a driving force in the EDM world. He arrived well ahead of his current contemporaries. While they were trying to figure out what it was they were trying to do, Bassnectar just went ahead and did it, figure it out as he went along nad in the process laying the groundwork for what is quickly becoming the most influential music genre in the world. He has amassed an epic fan base and sold more 220 thousand tickets to his solo shows in 2012 alone.
Electronic dance music, while a relative newcomer to the music scene itself, has rapidly fractured into many different sects that all claim to fall under the EDM umbrella but conform to their own rules and aesthetics, and many of the proponents of these subgenres are quite vehement about being loyal to their stated genre and operating within the genre's guidelines. Bassnectar doesn't want to have anything to do with that rigidity. A man who knows no bounds, Bassnectar sees that kind of conformity and labeling as harmful to the electronic dance music movement, and he shows other artists how to draw inspiration from all kinds of music to create a sound everyone can enjoy.
What fans like most about Bassnectar is they don't know what they're going to get when they go to one of his shows. He could play from some of his earlier work and go retro. He could play some of his latest and treat audiences to the most groundbreaking and innovative beats in music. He could execute a breathtaking cover of a Beatles song. He could play anything, and that's what makes his shows so electrifying and keeps his fans coming back for more.
