Bassnectar — aka Lorin Ashton — has been crowned San Francisco’s best DJ, but his kingdom is hardly confined to the West Coast. Nor is his music genre specific; he finds ways to mix everything from punk to rap to heavy metal into his crowd-pleasing live shows and similarly eclectic albums. Bassnectar’s 2007 release, Underground Communication, may have leaned heavily toward hip-hop, but his 2005 double-disc set, Mesmerizing the Ultra, boasted collaborations with artists as diverse as STS9, KRS One and even the enigmatic guitarist Buckethead. It’s no wonder why DJMixed.com called him “a musical renaissance man.”
