The highly anticipated album from this underground cult heavyweight combines the visceral melodic presence of modern listening music with the force and volume of sound system dancehall devastation. "Underground Communication" is an exploration of hip-hop culture, featuring scores of MCs and rhythmic poetics mashed atop a heavy, driving range of tempo and, of course, those signature throbbing bass lines. Rooted in political conviction, philosophical intention, and backed by a rabid fan base, this release sets a new standard for the possibilities of merging music, art, new media, and social activism. Bassnectar is already gaining critical acclaim from tastemakers at URB, Flavorpill, and BPM, and has won the Nitevibe.com, SF Weekly, and SF Bay Guardian award honors for "San Francisco's Best DJ."
