Bassnectar is a scholar of raging and getting down, don't know any other dj that can get the crowd to move the way this guy does. Some people misconceive Bassnectar as a dubstep artist but there is so much more to it, sure he uses massive wobbly bass lines typical of dubstep artists but his sound is so eclectic and unpredictable, he'll go from a dreamy dub beat to a slayer remix and then to a old jazz swing beat in the matter of a few minutes, the entire time just filled with raw energy. Unlike a lot of electronic artists he's also constantly changing the tempo, something he calls 'omni-tempo maximalism'. There's a little something for everyone at a bassnectar show, hence why you'll see quite the eclectic crowd at his shows, everyone from deadheads to metal heads to bro dawgs. It's an incredibly good time, some describing it as a 'social mosh pit'. The show i have up for your listening pleasure is a Bassnectar show from 2006 at the Fox Theatre in Colorado, and it includes some live freestyling by souleye. Listening to this now and then going to a bassnectar show today, you'll notice that he's gotten a lot crazier and intense but this is still a good listen.
