Also Known As: Lorin Ashton
Name Origin:
On the Bassnectar name, Ashton said:
"It's the code-word for a certain frequency of forgotten rage
and passion, and it contains intentional elements of secrecy, power, and beauty. The word triggered concepts
of honey, fertilization, regeneration, freshness, lavish nature run wild with enthusiasm, all dripping
in succulent unison with the force of unstoppable amber richness. I knew immediately that
it was a good metaphor for my musical vision."
