Bassnectar – Freestyle EP

Bassnectar‘s new “Freestyle EP” has been causing quite a ruckus lately, which should come as no surprise to anyone. From his patented dubstep epics like “Breathless,” to the driving dancefloor drumstep smasher “Infinite,” to the swaggy glitched out hip hop influenced title track “Freestyle,” Lorin’s new release more than lives up to its name.

Preview the EP which you can purchase on iTunes NOW, and download the mixtape below.  You can find the tracklist to the mix HERE.

Ugly Up In Here

So our man Lorin Bassnectar has been hard at work and putting the finishing touches on his next release, “VAVA VOOM” set to release April 10. In anticipation of it and just to give you a sneak taste, here’s a cut from the album entitled “Ugly” (produced with Amp Live). Taken from the man himself: “We want to let the ugliest kid ride first, because ugly is beautiful, and sometimes we like our music rugged, raw, and berzerk.” Amen sir.

Bassnectar - Divergent Remixes

Bassnectar’s popularity seems to have no bounds. He’s arguably the most well known bass music producer in the world today, and with his non stop tour schedule, it’s amazing that he has any time to for new music or upcoming projects. But the man clearly has the golden touch and this latest release is no exception. With an all-star cast of producers, each remix of “Divergent Spectrum” has a unique interpretation and sound.

Don’t take our word for it, read Lorin’s description of the release.

This pack kicks off with a collaborative remix I did with my good buddies Terravita. We traded the files of “Upside Down” back and forth for a few months, and the final master that Seth did makes this one of the loudest, wildest drops to date!

After that is a remix of “Red Step” by none other than Dim Mak’s label boss, Steve Aoki. A definitive electro house banger with a beefy halftime drop, he has been the only DJ with this weapon for a few months; now it’s yours too.

The third track comes from long-time friends and collaborators, The Glitch Mob, who took “Head’s Up” into dubstep territory, with the unmistakable glitch-bass flavor.
Up next is a collaboration with Amorphous Music artist ill.Gates who spent a few days in the Bassnectar Labs this summer building synthesizers and samplers with me in Ableton. As we worked and geeked out, we built this drum & bass version of “Voodoo”, which then became a staple of my sets for the last fall tour.

Another mix of “Voodoo” follows; this time the bastions of creativity known as Beats Antique flip the original into an antique bass version with live instrumentation and some surprises.
We decided to include the full version of “Color Storm” in this package since it was never properly released, and this rounds out the package.

We hope you enjoy!!!!

Get Elevated: Datsik + Bassnectar

Datsik and Bassnectar. Hopefully we don’t need to preface these two bass heavyweights. Their reputations aren’t hard to miss. Quality, plain and simple.

Late last year, these two bassheads together dropped Yes on the world. Now they are back with Elevate, a heavy as a ton of nails dubstep tune, complete with some funky pitched down reggae vocals courtesy of Rayvon. Elevate is simply guaranteed to rock dance floors big and small all around the world. Immediately.
