InfluencesI admit that my whole life was completely changed by Nirvana and Metallica. I loved Smells Like Teen Spirit and I wasn't even a teen yet... i just loved the raw energy. One time i read an interview with James Hetfield of Metallica, and when asked who his influences were, he gave the nod to a list of bands i either hated or had never heard of (except Black Sabbath), and i remember being shocked, because i naively thought his influences would be Megadeth, Slayer, Pantera, etc....give me a break, i was like 13 or something.

The point is, my influences are not necessarily how i sound, and they include everything from NWA to Simon & Garfunkel to The Cure to The Field Of Dreams Soundtrack to Sibilant & Metal Spark to Cannibal Corpse, Exhumed & Emperor to My Dying Bride to FreQ Nasty, Tipper, Ed Rush & Optical, to Frank Zappa to The Who to Boards Of Canada to REM to Salt N Peppa to Run DMC to Led Zeppelin to Grave to Disembowelment to Beethoven & Mozart to Mr Oizo, Mr Scruff, Mr Rogers, Mr Si Begg, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Mr Mayagi, to loma prieta earthquakes to native American flute music and the soft humming of my mother.

I guess Bassnectar is an amalgamation of every sound i've ever heard, mixed with ultra wicked basslines...

Sounds Like


Wobbling, churning, surging soundtracks in any form or mood, combining explosive basslines with everything plus the kitchen sync....omnitempo maximalism quivering gush-hop and multi-directional meltdown music. No rules, no limits, no boundaries.
