Editor's note

Bassnectar, the San Francisco DJ turned electronic producer

A project that started in reggae and hip-hop before diving into dubstep and experimental electronics.

For a sense of his range, check out 'Hexes' with Chino Moreno and the earlier 'Butterfly' with Mimi Page.

Bassnectar's sound pulls from dubstep, hip-hop, and experimental electronics, often featuring guest vocalists. Tracks like 'Hexes' with Chino Moreno and 'Butterfly' with Mimi Page became staples in his sets. The music continued to draw crowds, with remixes like 'Speakerbox' keeping the project active in the electronic scene.

Lorin Ashton started out as a reggae and hip-hop DJ in San Francisco before moving into production. His debut album 'Motions of Momentum' came out in 2005. After apologizing publicly, Ashton resumed touring under the Bassnectar name.
