If you’ve ever seen Bassnectar live, you know it can be a spirtual experience. It defies words. Unlike some other great producers out right now making a name, Lorin Ashton does not stop with just the studio, but he puts on a killer show behind the decks. Complete with luscious light shows and collaborations with performance art groups, the ‘Nectar knows how to to rock a crowd and make ‘em womp and jump out. With this new mixtape release, Bassnectar combines his signature style remixing classic arts such as the …

Some highlights of the insanity that went down over last year’s fall tour with Bassnectar. Nothing quite like 11,000+ people bouncing up and down to some seriously high wattage bass.

After listening to this track, all I can ask is Why does this not included with the official remix pack?! This is undoubtedly one of the most insane Bassnectar remixes I’ve heard to date. Mustard Pimp turns Red Step into a hyperactive and psyechedlic track packed with intense wobble… Enjoy!

Bassnectar has been known to give away a good number of goodies, and he’s continuing in that tradition with this remix bundle. It was six months ago that Divergent Spectrum was released, and since then a number of the tracks have been remixed by artists such as Terravita, Steve Aoki, Glitch Mob, Beats Antique, and ill.Gates. This is definitely a remix bundle you don’t want to miss!

Alright, from now own whenever I see an all out comment war on a UKF Dubstep video, as opposed to fueling the flames by responding “omg you’re such a noob” I’m simply going to link to this video.

(Note: This audio sample is taken from an interview with MoBoogie, the original video can be seen here. I highly recommend it to any Bassnectar fan, as it’s extremely interesting!)

Bassnectar JUST uploaded his BBC mixtape to Soundcloud – the mix was originally recorded in 2010. The date is irelevant, as the beats are still sick and the bass is still fat! Enjoy this mixtape.
From the page:
We dropped by the BBC and Annie Nightingale was kind enough to play the mix before the show at Fabric. This is a live mix – there are many samples, loops, remixes & mashup bits, but the basic tracklist is below.

Datsik and Bassnectar have put their minds together to bring you this sub-friendly track that would make any Rastafarian proud. The bass in this track may indeed by massive but the reggae vibes are kind and loving! You can definitely hear the influences from both artists in this.
