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
