Lorin Ashton is the man behind the force known as Bassnectar. “The Nectar” as he is known to his fans, has been involved in the dance music scene for over a decade slowly building himself a cult following. Starting out in the California EDM scene as a DJ Lorin quickly moved on to production and soon after took his live performances to a new level utilizing Ableton Live on two laptops simultaneously. Although he has been releasing albums since 2001, the beginning of his success can be traced back to 2005’s “Mesmerizing The Ultra” which also included a second CD with all the songs, in the same order, from his previous album. As of late Bassnectar has seen a skyrocketing in his popularity, with the release of Cozza Frenzy (2009), Timestretch (2010) and Wildstyle (2010) he has cemented his place as royalty among American EDM producers.

Infected Mushroom has succeeded in blending the the intense sounds of Psy-Trance and the hard hits of Rock, forming one of the most explosive Electronic groups in history. Originally consisting of the duo Erez Eisen ( I.Zen) and Amit Duvdevani (also known as Duvdev) in the city of Hafia in Northern Israel. Early on in their career they mainly focused on Goa Psy-Trance and ambient Psy-Trance with their albums The Gathering(1999), Classical Mushroom(2000) and BP Empire(2001). Infected has always been known for their ever changing sound which is exemplified in the 2 disk album Converting Vegetarians (in my opinion their best album ever). You could begin to feel a new element being Incorporated to Infected’s sounds. After the release of I am the Supervisor(2004), Vicious Delicious(2007) emerged. This album truly showed the new sound Infected Mushroom was going for. They brought in guitarist Thomas Cunningham, in 2004, (whose family lives in Baltimore BOH!BOH!) and Brazilian percussionist Rogério Jardim for their live performances. That year Infected hit number 9 on DJ Mag’s Top 100 list, which was the highest psytrance has ever been placed. For over a decade Infected Mushroom have been a major influence in the world of Psy-Trance, their latest album was released in 2009, entitled The Legend of The Black Shwarma. Infected always brings unmatched energy and uplifting sounds so be prepared to sent to the stars. The main stage is never going to recover from this trip!
