Bassnectar: (aka Lorin)

For the last decade, Lorin Ashton has helped develop the North American underground dance music scene. From touring full time as a DJ (an average of 125 shows per year), to his production & remixing under the alias Bassnectar, he has ammassed a dedicated fan base, crossing over from hip hop to electronica to breakbeat to ragga/dub to the jam band scene and the greater Burningman Scene.

Lorin has released Mesmerizing The Ultra, his double album debut on Amorphous/Organic Music, available through Fontana Distribution in the United States and Universal Distribution in Canada. Having remixed or collaborated with the likes of KRS One, Heavyweight Dub Champion, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Buckethead, The String Cheese Incident, Saul williams, Noam Chomsky, Cheb I Sabbah, Sound Tribe Sector 9, Crash Berlin, Landslide, and Perry Farrell, the Bassnectar sound has benefited from a wide lense of exposure, and evolved from cutting edge dance music to where it exists today: a mutant mash-up of multiple styles and genres.

As a producer, he has delivered scores of 12 inch releases, charted by the likes of Annie Nightengale (BBC Radio 1), James Zabiela, Rennie Pilgrem, DJ Hyper, and Simply Jeff (BPM), with support from Adam Freeland, Karsh Kale, Freq Nasty, Uberzone, and Krafty Kuts. The tracks enjoyed international praise from such publications as BPM, XLR8R, Mixer, and Muziq, and have been licensed by MTV for multiple shows. His two full length CDs have both gone into their third pressing, followed by the recent release of Tempo Rosso, a full length downtempo CD for Red Bull (13,000 copies were pressed and distributed). He has also appeared on releases from the following labels: OM , Virgin, 6 Degrees, Functional Breaks, Ceiba, Groundwork (Starbucks) and Kool Keith’s Sync Recordings.

Bassbin Twins

Bassbin Twins have been releasing records in the underground dance music scene since 1992 including their own Bassbin Twins Volume series, ep's for labels like Skint and Southern Fried, SSR, Marine Parade, Mute, Spider Cuts, and numerous remixes for artists including Boogie Down Productions, Evil 9, DJ Punk Roc, Dub Pistols, Freakpower, etc.

The Bassbin Twins live set is an anything goes mix bringing in broken beats both old and new school, jacking tech house, electro, and funky drum and bass all put through the Bassbin blender and mashed in the name of up for it party music.

The Bassbin Twins live set aims to be fun, unpredictable, and one of the guaranteed highlights of any event.
