Wow, last Friday I was lucky enough to visit Bassnectar - a womping legend - in the flesh for his Charlotte concert. Absolute rager I'll tell you now. Shortly there will be added a few of the tracks from his epic set. He began with the openning of 'Basshead' an iconic tune to be sure, and after about 4 minutes of nostalgia and going ballistic he live mixed it into a drumstep redub which was fantastic. His set was littered with songs from the Divergent Spectrum album, a couple of songs that can be found on his new remixtape (i.e. Colorstorm) and even some new bangers from Excisions new album X Rated including that very song and 'Blast' and 'Bounce' from Ajapai's new Energized EP. He was also gracious enough to blast the crowd's eardrums with a handful of throwbacks including 'Timestretch' which carried a good part of the show with it's trance inducing wub, and his flawless remix of 'Lights' by Ellie Ghoulding. He had balloons and tons of glitter and confetti fall from the roof a couple of times when particularly great songs started going and the crowd went wild over and over again. Most insane experience of my life, easily. His openers were DJ Jenna, who I think was a local and wasn't terribly bad, as well as Two Fresh. Two Fresh absolutely killed it, they had a drumset on stage and played live drums with the synths for a really dynamic experience. During the show I crowd-surfed. Twice. I rode on the shoulders of people I didn't know. I raged up front row stage center and nearly lost my face in the process. The whole experience was a blast, I absolutely loved it. Here are a couple of the tracks he dropped at the show as well as one of my favorite Bassnectar remixes.
