5 Reasons why Bassnectar has the best community in electronic music
Mass EDM

Go to any Bassnectar show and you’ll find yourself immediately submerged in a whole new universe. Translating his endless curiosity and versatility into hypnotic beats and vibrant tracks, Lorin Ashton aka Bassnectar constantly generates new sounds, providing clarity and direction to his massive legion of fans who dedicate most of their time wilding out and traveling the country for his music.

One of electronic music's most dedicated communities, these bass-fiends thoughtfully named "Bassheads", live out their own unique version of underground communication on the daily - constantly searching (and achieving) the answers for life's journey through Bassnectar’s authentic freestyle music. But what makes Bassheads so unique? Here are 5 out of the many reasons why the Bassnectar community is – undeniably - the best community in electronic music.

1- The literal sense of community at a Bassnectar show is unquestionable. Although every person in the room is there to rage and let go, everyone is also on a 24-hour duty to take care of each other. The constant care for one another, even if you don’t know the person next to you at all – is unparalleled. And this is when all the magic happens. Bassnectar collects people from all over the place and just ties them together with music, a bond strong enough for everyone to look at each other as family. Going to a Bassnectar show is like opening a gift on Christmas morning. Every. Damn. Time. And most times, that gift comes in the form of bringing people together you may not ever meet otherwise.

2- The energy is stellar. Literally. It feels like your mind is on a spaceship with everyone around you on the same ride at light speed toward a solar system of divine bliss. And as everyone vibes in the same frequency, the whole room is filled with the kind of empathy that allows every single person to see the world in a new, vital way. You feel the most human you will ever feel at a Bassnectar show and not only because it feels extremely right, but because you are sharing that connection with people with the same mindset as yours.

3- Bassheads are the most open minded people you will ever meet. Maybe because Lorin himself is so versatile and open to diversity, Bassheads also embody that ethos. It doesn't matter what background you're from, you will be thoroughly accepted in the Basshead community, no matter what. Always exploring and accepting all sorts of weirdness, Bassheads are pros at expanding and trading values, beliefs and feelings in an entirely positive, natural way.

4- Bassheads understand, accept, and preach the concept of balance. Sure, ridiculously heavy wobbles in your face are always fun (really, they are too fun) but there’s nothing more delightful than some melodic downtempo sounds that make you travel inside your own mind, body and spirit. A Bassnectar show is always a ride, you get breathless during the chaos but as you capture the vitality and energy of your surroundings, you also get your mind flooded with a new found appreciation of what you do have – whether a lot or a little, it all seems to be enough.

5- They do it, entirely, for the music. In a scene portrayed as an excessive partying & drugs clutter, the Basshead community is one of the only who purely do it for the love of music. During a show get ready for a mental rollercoaster surrounded by bass, spirit, and acceptance.

And as you join the journey, you will understand that being a Bassnectar fan is reaching out to music to interpret your own problems, its bursting out of all the negativity and in turn - falling head first into all of those things that gives us the chills and make us addiiiiiicted.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
