Each live Bassnectar (aka Lorin Ashton) experience is a sonic adventure, both for fans and the San Fransisco-based DJ. The sets have no limitations, shifting between hip-hop infused beats, high-tempo DnB insanity, and IDM, resulting in hypnotic soundscapes built upon wobbling bass lines. As our own Harry Painter suggests, “if you pay for a Bassnectar show, you are paying for that unholy monster beat to kick your ass for a couple of hours.” So whether you’re a Bass Head old or new, Bassnectar has provided plenty more opportunities to explore his unholy beats.

After spending New Year’s in Atlanta playing two sold out shows, Ashton will take some down time before commencing his Winter tour with dates scheduled across the West Coast and Southern US. The Spring tour then kicks off April 6th in Tulsa, OK, and runs through April 23rd with stops in Madison, Pittsburgh, Atlantic City, Portland, Boston, and Albany. With several noticeable voids, especially all of March (?), expect updates as the tour progresses.

Tickets to all dates are currently available over at Bassnectar’s website.
