Who Bassnectar is
Lorin Gabriel Ashton (born February 16, 1978), known professionally as Bassnectar, is an American DJ and electronic music producer. Bassnectar became known for live shows that combined layered sound design with immersive visuals and attracted a large, dedicated fan base, and his work has been credited with helping to popularize bass-heavy electronic music in the United States. He appeared at major festivals such as Coachella, Bonnaroo, and Electric Daisy Carnival, and released charting albums including Noise vs. Beauty (2014) and Unlimited (2016). In July 2020, following numerous allegations of sexual misconduct, Ashton announced he would take an extended hiatus from music. A lawsuit alleging he engaged in sexual abuse and human trafficking was subsequently filed by two women in April 2021, resulting in an out of-court-settlement in February 2025.
