Synopsis

Album Description

The highly anticipated album from this underground cult heavyweight combines the visceral melodic presence of modern listening music with the force and volume of sound system dancehall devastation. "Underground Communication" is an exploration of hip-hop culture, featuring scores of MCs and rhythmic poetics mashed atop a heavy, driving range of tempo and, of course, those signature throbbing bass lines. Rooted in political conviction, philosophical intention, and backed by a rabid fan base, this release sets a new standard for the possibilities of merging music, art, new media, and social activism. Bassnectar is already gaining critical acclaim from tastemakers at URB, Flavorpill, and BPM, and has won the Nitevibe.com, SF Weekly, and SF Bay Guardian award honors for "San Francisco's Best DJ."

CD Reviews

Turn up the volume!

Ian Denchasy | Los Angeles, CA | 09/07/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"It's been many years since an artist has pushed me to turn the volume dial to 11, but Lorin Ashton - aka Bassnectar - has succeeded in driving my neighbors to call the cops and my family to scream for mercy. After seeing him DESTROY the Root Society dome at Burning Man this year, I was captivated, moved, and elevated. It's about time someone came along to shake up and move the electronic music scene from self-gratification to social consciousness and political rebellion. Kudos to Bassnectar and enjoy gobbling up every note and beat. And that BASS; once you hear it you will be addicted like a "Bumfights" crack head."

Tried kicking it up a notch...

".... but kinda got a kick in the pants.

Saw a show recently that pretty much rocked every fiber in my soul... and this album channelled maybe like, 2 fibers... and they rubbed together and sort of srtated a fire... but then it went out really quick... and was rather downtempo... and vaguely dirty/ambient...

We got mad talent here... just not so much on this particular album."

Stomp is one seriously funky track. Bump a rump!

"4.5 stars

I was grooving to a great dance band last week and during the break the dj threw the track Stomp on. Man, my butt just started rockin' all over the floor. I got the name of the record from the dj and checked out all the bassnectar albums, and this is my favorite, mainly due to that track. Dig that huge drum sound! But only in a club can you hear the almost subsonic bass that really makes this track gargantuan at 100 decibels plus.

This guy knows how to make a track throb with bass. The whole album rumbles like nutty. Boooom, baby. Fine production. Makes you wonder where the bass is on all your other cds.

The rest of the cd is mostly fat and funky as well, with a nice mix of hiphop, trance, ambient and house vibes and the occasional decent rap thrown in. But nowhere is there any gangsta feel, etc; the coolest thing about bn is his desire to be intelligent, socially progressive and positive. He gets there and makes your ass drop at the same time. What more can you ask?

Just Stomp played over and over at full volume in your favorite club...love that beat that comes in at 3:00.

If that don't make your rump bump, get a walker."
