For fans of electronica music, it’s about more than the beat of the music; it’s about an experience. Perhaps that’s why fans have long been attracted to DJ Bassnectar. Born Lorin Ashton, Bassnectar is far more than just a DJ who knows how to hit the right beats and get fans dancing. Since he was a kid, Ashton has been a master of visual art, so he understands how to incorporate video and artwork into his performances. He also perfectly understands how to make Bassnectar fans have the time of their lives when they see him. After all, with a dozen studio albums under his belt, Bassnectar knows a thing or two about how to drop the perfect beats and get crowds to a good place. The best part is that there is always room for more, making all music fans welcome at Bessnectar concerts.

A Unique Spin

Seeing Bassnectar perform live is unlike seeing any other DJ. This dude goes heavy on drums and bass, more so than almost any other DJ on the electronica scene. Ashton’s musical background is in the death-metal genre, even playing bass in a couple of death-metal bands during his early days. That musical background has surely had a major influence on the sound that Bassnectar has cultivated over the years. Plus, Ashton learned a thing or two about music before training to become a DJ, giving him a wealth of knowledge about song composition, a skill that has become evident throughout his career.

The Festival Circuit

Since his early days, the festival circuit has been the best place to see Bassnectar perform. Before releasing his first album, Bassnectar started to make a name for himself at Burning Man, where he fit in perfectly with the vibe and played sets that seemed to last forever. Over the years, he’s also found a home at Bonnaroo, Coachella, Electric Forest Festival, Electric Daisy Carnival, and even Lollapalooza. Along the way, he became one of the best DJs in the industry and continues to provide both longtime fans and electronica newcomers with an unforgettable experience every time he takes the stage.
