Bassnectar makes B’ham debut

By Brent Thompson

Bassnectar – a.k.a. Lorin Ashton – lists his influences as “NWA to Simon & Garfunkel to The Cure to the Field Of Dreams soundtrack to Frank Zappa” among numerous others. Voted “Number One DJ” in his hometown of San Francisco three years in a row, Bassnectar will make his debut Birmingham performance at Zydeco on Friday, April 4. Creating sounds described as “a vibrant concoction of hip-hop, glitch and jungle” (Remix), the DJ has remixed and collaborated with a diverse array of artists including KRS One, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Perry Farrell and The String Cheese Incident. Currently, Bassnectar is touring in support of Underground Communication, his latest release on Om Records.
