Rage faces, quick editing, long hair, and graffitti, this video is nuts.
The official video for Bassnectar’s single Ugly is a tour de force that just moves along at a frenetic pace and it fits perfectly with the upbeat, glitched out with the drum & bass/drumstep feel of this track.
The video shows bass heads with their various bass faces contorted in all directions, Lorin himself running in a Forest Gump-esque track suit.
I can’t do this video justice.  Check it out here.

I had the chance to catch Bassnectar in San Jose this past Saturday (Cinco de Mayo) as part of the Vava Voom Tour, and the most prominent thought that I came away from the show with is that Lorin Ashton is unequivocally and indisputably an alien. While the Rapunzel-length hair is enough to inspire a tinge of doubt at Mr. Ashton’s earthliness, it was the entire atmosphere he created that reassured my suspicions of his ethereal origins.
Aside from the fact that the venue was reminiscent of a modified, prodigious high …

It’s been less than a year since his last album, but he couldn’t wait to unleash a whole new batch.  It’s been said that Bassnectar has adjusted his sound to fit a more party-ready, mainstream sound in an effort to win fans, but we don’t think that is the case.  Lorin Ashton, the man behind Bassnectar, still brings his own unique form of bass music only now fans are catching on in throngs.  His brand of “omnitempo maximalism” is really on display here with his new album, Va Va Voom, …

Day 3
My knees were weak, my arms were heavy, thank god I didn’t vomit on my sweater, and I was ALMOST ready to attend Ultra Day 3. Twenty hours of going HAM takes a lot out of you, but even just staring at Day 3’s lineup was enough to get my ass outta bed and on the metro for a third day of rigorous auditory insanity. Day 3’s lineup was arguably the best of the weekend, and it’s a damn shame that I had to choose between sets such as …

Run DMT, of Bass Drum fame has now put out a sampler via Facebook, and included in that pack is a killer remix by ElectroJams favorite, Bassnectar.  The remix gives the original a new circus vibe to it with crazy glitchy wobbles, high pitched melodies, and an overall crunkified to it.  The track is sure to make into Lorin’s sets on his upcoming Va Va Voom tour this spring.  Check out Sugarcube (Bassnectar Remix)  here!

Over the years, Lorin aka Bassnectar has delivered just about every form of bass heavy music – psychedelic glitch hop, breaks, drum n bass, dubstep, and now drumstep. Coming fresh off the Vava Voom tour, Bassnectar is scheduled to release a full length album of the same name on 4/10/12.

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.
Check out the dates for the 2012 Divergent Spectrum Tour as well as the recently announced 2012 Vava Voom Tour on Bassnectar’s website: bassnectar.net/tour/

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!
