Click to view in full size THANK YOU COLORADO! Decadence was off the hook! Third times the charm, but we hope to be back for a 4th! Now we are in Birmingham, Alabama set to blast off inside the biggest Bassnectar Spaceship we’ve ever built!!! : )
GREETINGS BEAUTIFUL HUMANS!!! We are 3 days away from descending upon Birmingham in our 360 spaceship! And while we could not be more PUMPED for the 31st, we must take a moment to acknowledge the recent severe weather Birmingham has experienced and the damage that took place. There are a number of people who lost their homes + belongings due to a tornado, plus a large number of people who were put in danger from flooding due to the heavy rains & storms. Since this city has welcomed our community with open arms, we would like to give back! That’s why at this year’s NYE adventure the Bass Network will be hosting a food, water, and clothing drive at the BJCC. Everything collected will be given to those in need in the city of Birmingham and surrounding areas. Items to donate: – Bottles of water – Canned goods – Socks – Underwear (all sizes please!) – Personal hygiene items (deodorant, soap, tooth brushes, tooth paste, etc.) With 20,000 bass heads expected to make the journey, we are hoping to make the biggest IMPACT possible to help out! So please bring anything you can, whether it’s from home, picked up upon
About 15 years ago, at the turn of the millennium, I began working on some music which felt both futuristic and innovative, as well as deeply rooted in sounds I had heard in my favorite songs from artists all over the world. It was a heartfelt art project, all for fun, all about the love. I had been studying electronic music at school for 5 years or so, and DJing mostly at underground raves, free full-moon gatherings, and festivals like Burning Man, Shambhala, etc. The word “Bassnectar” was the name I chose for my “band” …it was (and is) my art project. It was not (and is not) the name of a human. It’s the moniker I chose to name the music and art I was creating. As songs and ideas began to develop, and my informal DJ mixes (mixtapes) grew exponentially more customized, I started realizing I was actually writing albums, not mixes. There was no record label who understood the ‘genres’ I was making (perhaps because I named the genre “omni-tempo maximalism” which meant basically “I can do anything I want, and there are no musical rules”) and no touring infrastructure for DJs in North America at the

‘Tis the season for holiday cheer… and avoiding ticket scalpers and scammers! As BassLights, Decadence, and New Years Eve approach, scalpers and ticket scammers are more likely to appear on the Internet. Here are some helpful hints to avoid scalpers and ensure you are not getting scammed through any online ticket purchases: > ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS go through PayPal when buying from others online. PayPal ensures you are safe due to its buyer protection policies. Therefore, if you are scammed on a ticket, you will receive a refund promptly. > In addition to using PayPal, be sure to send any money as a “good” rather than as a “gift”. There is NO BUYER PROTECTION when you send money as a gift. This is another fast and easy way for scammers to strike. > Be aware if a seller is giving you a hard time about a safe payment method. If he or she is not willing to comply to a protected method, it is safe to assume he or she is scamming you. Do not feel bad about safeguarding your money! > DO NOT post a photo of your ticket including the barcode on social media! Scalpers will capitalize on
As we wrap up 2015, the Bass Network team has had some time to reflect on our favorite moments from this past year. We have seen members of our community radiate positivity into their local towns, conquer new terrains, and bridge gaps between strangers. One of our favorite campaigns from 2015 was our Red Rocks Pen Pal program. The amount of participation far exceeded our expectations, and it was truly amazing to see so many Bass Heads meet new friends from seemingly far-away lands. Due to the success of our Red Rocks Pen Pals, we have decided to bring the campaign back for NYE360! For those of you who did not participate at Red Rocks – it is quite simple! All we need from you is your name, residing city, and Twitter account link. In a few day’s time we will connect you with a Bass Head via Twitter. After we introduce you to your NYE360 Pen Pal it is up to the two of you to connect! Swap music, share telling tales, send each other little gifts, etc. Overall, we strongly encourage Pen Pals to meet in Birmingham at NYE360! Thanks for branching out and participating – we look
