BASSNECTAR - UNLIMITED - OUT NOW

Eons ago I used to see that phrase popping up everywhere in graffiti around the Bay Area. Of course music can overwhelm and overpower and posses our nervous systems better than any other drug: but I like to think about this in the sense of a cultural mindset, not just a literal proclamation that we can get high on music. For me, it means that music can be medicinal, and also significant to our lives as a shapeshifting force for culture, identity & community. As members of a musical community, you all have the chance to prioritize the health & safety of your nervous systems, and to treasure your bodies & their well being, instead of being careless, reckless, or harmful with such precious cargo. To me this song is about magic more than anything, and creating it with LUZCID was a joy and a pleasure. I also want to thank Katrina again for the vocals: we love your voice :)

Bassnectar & LUZCID - Music Is The Drug

This is one of my favorite songs on the new album. I have listened to that 1st "drop" on loop approximately 18 zillion times; it reminds me of the sparkling melodic downtempo I fell so deeply in love with back in the day - exploring the side rooms & chill rooms with avant-garde sound-systems playing music from left field… or spiraling liquid abstract downtempo that would play during sunrise at a free outdoor full-moon celebration. Listening to this style of music was one of the 1st times I really registered in my mind that I was hearing an 808 bass, and it began a whole side-genre for me as a producer: using those drums to strengthen any other genre or sound. And who doesn't love a good vocoder… also a classic sound to my ears from the 1990s rave scene. This one says "We're reaching out to set you free" and it captures that healing energy of feeling rescued by friends (or angels) - this is one of the most important effects music has had on my life: making me feel healed.

This tune was supposed to be a part of Into The Sun, but I couldn't get it finished in time… It was like tapping into that Loco Ono nerve, and then I wanted the widest, stupidest, lowest, slow-motion drop… then I started jacking with alternate surprise cuts from artists like Dead Prez, Big Makk, Yookie, GTA, (huge shout outs to these artists for the inspiration!) and then it even ended up flowing perfectly into F.U.N. somehow… force is versatile. Extreme props to Seth Drake for suggesting this trick with the sideband I can't even pretend to understand, but it made the weight of that fucking downbeat absolutely ludicrous :) Special thanks to Bay Area Blackalicious superstar Gift Of Gab for cutting vocals while on the road!

HAILO is a longtime friend, and now travels the world relentlessly as tour manager for Steve Angelo. While moving to Sweden, he sent me over a sketch for a song which sounded like it could become a deep house lullaby. We invited Haley Gibby to work on the track, and together we developed it into this enchanting downtempo crush track. I’ll let Haley do the talking on what this song means ;)

Who would have guessed I would be making music with that random longhaired ambassador with the upside-down cross t-shirt? Another Ambassador (Bri) sent me a folder of mp3s to check out, and my favorite song in the folder was by "Gnar Gnar." When I found out it was Tyler, I flipped out, and ever since then he and I have been endeavoring together through the mystical sonic lands. It's a match made in heaven. We hope you enjoy our follow up to Generate - this one is more of a melodic meltdown moment. Mmmmmm….

This might be my favorite track on the album… the original concept was like an ode to late-1990s electronica, and I was doing a good job keeping it simple and steady and pretty at first. But as layers kept getting added it morphed into a thicker, more futuristic journey: like the second cousin of Flashback …which is fitting. Someday I may release the first version, which was uptempo with double-time breakbeat drums, and a hypnotic pattern which was like a weird mix of Knight Rider & Mesmerizing The Ultra. I love when the shortest version of a song is 6:20… you know the cook was getting out of hand in the kitchen.

When I heard the original version of this track, I thought it was some Coldplay song I'd never heard before (and my favorite Coldplay song, at that) but upon further investigation I discovered this amazing indie artist named Crywolf - and getting a chance to step behind the scenes of his masterpiece was simply indulgent. Once I was at the controls, I became saturated in the soul of his music, and had no interest in making 'a remix' of the song. I just wanted to play with it, explore it, and interact with it. I ended up letting it breathe, as a deeply soothing lullaby which lets the original melodies loop on and on until you wonder if you are dreaming. Toward the end I couldn't bring myself to finish it because of the unlimited combinations of chimes and bells and harps and guitar interlocking with the vocals. I just wanted to let it play forever.
