    That said, there are very few dubstep acts and songs that I actually enjoy, much less ones that I would ask you to listen to. When dubstep starts playing you’ll often find me breaking off from the group and doing something else that’s more productive or enlightening. Like for example… doing my taxes early or re-arranging my sock drawer. There’s just something about that *WUB-WUB-WUB* sound combined with the broken timing that alienates me. Luckily, there are some diamonds in the rough, like Bassnectar, who seem to understand timing, how to play musical instruments, and manage to crank out some pretty high-quality material overall. My brother introduced me to this one-man act over a decade ago, and I was caught off guard because I’d never been emotionally affected by drum-and-bass or breakbeat music to that point. This is Butterfly featuring Mimi Page from the 2012 album Vava Voom. It’s just a pleasant song that resonates with me for some reason, I think because it’s reminds me somewhat of music by Aphex Twin. Deejay Lorin Ashton does some outstanding work for the genre, adding depth, intelligence, and texture to whatever he brings to the table. This solo act did something for me no other dubstep creator did; they made me like glitch-hop for one brief, shining moment, which is basically my musical equivalent of green eggs and ham. And yes, I would listen to this song in a house, with a mouse, in a box, with a fox, here, there or anywhere! You have made me like what I despise, Sam-I-Am. Smash play and happy new year, dear listener!

Surfaced audio of Bassnectar talking to a fan. Bassnectar has not responded about this audio. . Not sure if you’ve read his lettered response to other allegations, but in it, Lorin paints himself as someone who has turned a new leaf, someone who has been taught by the females in his life how an imbalance of power could exist between him and his young fans. ~ But then ~ Bassnectar is not some young dj learning about the industry for the first time. He IS the bass industry in many ways. From having his own festival, to having put out albums for the last 20 years. Bassnectar is a straight millionaire with power and influence over the industry. And as anyone in the industry can attest, it is FULL of hot garbage. And for Bassnectar to say he “didn’t know”? That’s some bullshit. . He knows about his power over other people, and he didn’t learn about it for the first time at the age of 42. . Some people say it isn’t true, other people say we should believe women who step forward. I think, where there’s smoke, there’s fire. This audio is only one sample of misconduct, but you can quickly see there have been allegations going back years. . So how does a millionaire industry leader prove what side he is on? How does he prove that information around him is fake? Then he needs to take a side. He needs to do more than just talk about allegations after the fact. You know who the bad actors are, start calling them out by name. You want that crown? You want to be the “Bass King”? You want to help create a better music industry, and a better community? Then start fixing it. You have a community of ambassadors (volunteer “free” labor), you have money at your disposal, and you have the platform to call people out. . Tell us who to stop listening to. Show us you don’t have their backs. . As mentioned by @illgatesmusic , we deserve an explanation. But as shown by the Bassnectar PR team so far, we are likely not going to get one. . #killyouridols #bassnectar #edm #bassfamily #metoo #bassmusic #emptyapology (at Basscenter) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCJ8Z_BAqlL/?igshid=dlfbjhzfbgn6
