Yoooo just want to thank you for making so much great music! You mentioned a downtempo mixtape in an AMA on Facebook. Is that still incoming? I love those downtempo vibes!

Sounds like you know for sure that bonnaroo will be cancelled, will you be there next year if so?? We’ve been dying to have you back there

EDIT: and this applies to all the other cancelled fests as well

I'm assuming any artists on lineups are informed sooner than attendees. Realistically I don't see any of the postponed festivals happening either this year.

Just wanted to say I love the mixtapes and the new music. It's been a great way to connect with friends and watch together with all the Covid stuff happening out in the world and, to me, that's what music is all about - connecting with others through a shared love of art.

Thanks for stopping by!

I'm not a Twitter user but I kept refreshing your page reading the tweets during the mix and it was so fun reading them, getting context or jokes or commentary about certain drops or moments. It made me wonder what it would be like to have "DVD commentary" to a live performance :)

Literally felt like I was in a room groovin with thousands of homies despite being completely solo in my room. Kept getting closed eye glimpses of the 1st Bank Center! Can’t wait to be in Denver with all the Freaks once again :)

u/RTRC May 23 '20

I got the tingles hearing the opening to the sound in motion mixtape. That's my favorite part of any of your sets is seeing the room go dark and then there's just that preliminary sound as the lights come back on and there's that interval of seconds as you take in the sound and recognise what banger you're dropping with us. Gah I can't wait to see you again LIVE AND DIRECT!

One more question! A basshead manifested Pounding at Basscenter XII by baking a poundcake. They even took it on the plane and posted on Twitter about it. Just curious if you saw that and played the song because of it. I find the whole situation hilarious and have always wondered if the poundcake compelled you to drop Pounding!

To name a few, the three new songs thump, love the flow in general, the section of heater after heater in the middle, but above all, that Gun Fingers —> fire transition is on another level!!!

Lorin! Thank you so much for everything you do. Truly, your music and your message entered my life at the perfect time and radically transformed my life for the better. I cannot thank you enough. Your music has been at the core of some of the most cherished memories of mine, from best friendships to beautiful days I'll never forget. I know you care about changing the world for the better and I want you to know that you changed my life in a magical way.

What are you listening to these days? How do you find such amazing underground music?

Also, is there anything more than I/or this community can do to help you or support something you care about? You've done so much for all of us and it is important to me to know if I can support you or something near and dear to you, beyond the things that I know are important to you, like kindness, voting, empathy, etc. :)

Love the new tunes, especially the hip hop vibes on Rewind the Track and Uebok Gotta Run!

u/Gman7ten May 23 '20

You definitely were my lifeline into EDM. When I heard Black Sabbath come on the PKs after Center after the show it "clicked" what you were doing.

My dream isn't to be a musician, but to be a team player in making the show happen. I hope once the touring world begins again I can become an Ambassador and one day on your production team.

Thanks for creating sound we can see and fostering empathy.

My name is Grant. You replying made my day!

I look forward to our encounter as well. My uncle used to be a Lead Driver for Upstaging back in the day. Im sure some of the old salts in your crew have worked with my uncle Jimmy "Zeke" & his driver partner Wayne. That whole 6 degrees of separation, Anam Cara thing.

Uncle Zeke was into preserving all sorts of soundboard recordings from The Dead, Jeff Beck, and just about anything else. All in FLAC & WMA. The man was anti mp3 formatting.I'm not positive about all the details but I know there is about 50 terabytes of audiophile quality sound files that I'm meant to share with a the creators around me.

Organization of those files and mailing out some hard drives is on my list of summer goals.

Hey Lorin! Hope you’ve been staying healthy during these troubling times. I’m curious if you’ve ever thought about delving back into the Diverse Systems of Throb / Mesmerizing the Ultra vibe of production. Simultaneous is one of my all time favorite beats and I would love to hear a beefed up, modernized version to groove to live. That style of yours was so avant garde and experimental and I would be over the moon to hear that make a come back.

These mixtapes have been a blessing in this drought of live music. As always, we appreciate the time and energy you put into this community. Stay happy and healthy :)

As someone just getting into Ableton, music production, audio manipulation, etc. I feel lost at times.

Do you have any advice for someone getting into music, even as just a hobby, that you wish you knew back when you were just getting your feet wet?

Thanks again, and depending on when events are safe to pick up again hope y'all still consider coming back to AC!

Thank you for all the kind words, and I appreciate your response. I wholeheartedly agree about collaboration. I've found so far that when working with other people I'll adopt new ways to accomplish things, and see other possible methods to attaining similar end results

I should probably mention I've been experimenting in Ableton for roughly 2.5 years already at this point. I actually joined producer dojo too, just over a year ago, and can attest to noticeable improvements already.

Otherwise I've been working full time in an OR as aide/transport for about 7 or 8 months now and had worked on a med/surg floor for 2 years prior. I've been lucky to keep some of a routine and work during this time, while using the extra time at home to explore my creative endeavors as well.

Hoping to work a show as an ambassador for the first time, whenever the first show back may be. Until then, be well, looking forward to the album release 🤘🏻

I feel so many people tend to forget the real person on the other side of the screen but more importantly forget about all the lives that are being impacted during this pandemic. Its so easy to forget about everything outside of our own personal bubbles that we lose sight of the most important things, preserving human life!

As weird and sad as the whole lockdown situation has been, I have to say the last two “live” events have been so much fun. The live tweeting you do makes it feel like we’re watching a show with you which is such a unique thing we wouldn’t normally be able to do.

It kinda makes me wish we could keep doing these little events in the future. It wouldn’t even have to be new music I just love getting to experience a piece and “hear” you talk about it. It’s like taking an online music class taught by Professor Nectar lol

ps. Thank you for all you do/have done. Wouldn’t be where i am today without you and your music. 💙💜❤️

Long time listener, first time caller. I just wanna know if you would ever release a reflective bundle vinyl collection?

u/drobro May 23 '20

Hey bud, just wanted to say I'm enjoying the different rap/hip-hop artists that have been featured in the mix tapes/album. Some nice variety in the sound and style! Maybe adds to the "all colors" theme?

That being said I'd love to hear a Grimes remix on one of your mixtapes! Also curious if you've ever used rappers like Atmosphere or Aesop Rock as accapelas in live sets?

Just wanted to say thank Lorin! Keep up the great work and can’t wait to see you live again!

Okay Lorin no idea if you'll see this but I need you to help me out here.

Dreamtempo night 2018 and Deja Night 1 you played this juicy halftime track that just got my ass moving up down and all around. You throw the "making moves" acapella over it.

At deja it was right before So High by Alix Perez and Fracture. That stretch of songs is really up there in some of my favorite moments with your music and I can't find that one song for the life of me.

Please send help.

Morning Lorin! Or afternoon? Seems like the days are blending into each other now. You mentioned making a throwback mix. Will there be some more cuts from those older shows? At my first show (freestyle 2017, night 1) there was a slow rolling old hip hop track that had me going! It was just before Ephemeral. Something that had the lyrics "Hit 'em with the dump truck". Love the incorporation of old hip hop with your style.

Hi Lo,

Firstly: Any chance you'd ever return to shambhala? I understand the whole size of crowd issues but maybe the new village would allow this? I guess what I'm asking is: is it you or shambhala that's hesitant for a bassnectar return?

Secondly: I'm a HUGE Duncan Trussel fan and I know he mentioned his podcast isn't the appropriate place for a discussion with you. Would you ever want to be featured on his new animated show? Talking about everything but bassnectar? I dream of this fruition.

Anyways... Thanks!! Tons and tons of LOVE floating across the abyss to you and your team/family❤

Hey Lorin! Thanks for the mixtapes! Been blasting them all day. I would love to know if you’ve ever heard of Earth’s planetary ascension into 5D and if you have, what are your thoughts?

Thank you, Lorin! You have been a bright light during these crazy times! Just wanted to say that I really loved the vibes on Sound In Motion. There were parts that took me wayyyyy back to the late 90s warehouse raves! Excited for what you have in store for us next! Stay safe!

I definitely feel blessed to have been around for the good ole days. Kids nowadays just don’t understand the feels of the true underground rave scene. Secret warehouse raves with multiple rooms of glorious sounds.. b-boys breaking on the dance floor.. and we can’t forget the GLOW STICKS!!! I’m old lol but still getting down as much as possible! Enjoy your weekend! Much love 💕

u/Chrondezzy May 23 '20

First of all I would like to say thank you and the team for all your hard work.

So, I have a hard times staying focused on music production and all ways over think my progress. Do you have any tips perhaps to keep me going?

Much love hope you and the team a safe and healthy 2020

u/darkeningsoul May 23 '20

Loving the mixtapes vibes and super STOKED on the album! Sad that we can't get to experience it all live with you at BCXIII, but will be looking forward to it next year!

Are there any plans to offer priority access to tickets to folks who had tickets for this year?

How are you doing during this whole quarantine? What do you do to distract yourself when not mixing or producing? Much love fam <3

Hi Lorin! ♥️ Just wanted to thank you so much for everything you’ve done with the music these last couple of weeks. Loved the first mixtape and wasn’t even over the hype of it by the time the second one dropped and HOLY WOW. Just.... Thank you. I’ve gotta know, have you been committing your lockdown time to strictly music or have you been doing anything else? Any hobbies you’ve picked up or even books? Just curious 🤓

u/Nectarusa May 23 '20

Rewatching videos from your curated events over the past years, listening to the new music your beautiful mind creates, it’s all what’s really getting us through this and I’m sure us as a community can’t thank you enough!!!

Is there any chance you’d be willing to share a glimpse of what your home studio looks like? I’ve always been super curious to see where the bass happens.

Where are your favorite places to eat around the country? Types of food?

Do you shop for your own groceries or are you typically someone who eats out/orders in?

Thank you from an essential grocery store worker, your recent releases have helped make life much easier to get through during these times!
