Bass Center...Ultimate Proof We Love Our Bass

As myself and fellow electronic music lovers traveled across the beautiful mountains on this past Saturday, I knew the sold out Bass Center, featuring Bassnectar, Glitch Mob and Ana Sia would be a massive event—A sold out show at the Asheville Civic Center will give you that impression. But this experience may be the most concrete proof we have to date that the southeast loves electronic music— particularly dubstep.

To no ones surprise, the crowd was full of Knoxvillians.
As we gazed at the license plates on vehicles at the hotel and in the parking garage, we were in awe at how far some had traveled to experience the party—AC Entertainment's Ashley Capps even made an appearance. But what always prevails true is that Bassnectar, Glitch Mob and Ana Sia all knew it was epic, and performed to their highest levels.

I ran around the place. From back right, to front left, to balcony center, and on, I was never short of the realization that electronic music conjures happiness, unity, love and the will to party like never before.

For this, we at WUTK salute the electronic music scene that you have all helped create and allow to prosper.

  1. a very large concert/party scene with a very narrow musical focus -- can you get a tenth of this # of people out for something other than dubstep?

  2. How many people turn out to a show depends just as much on the artists ability to engage their potential audience as it does that audience's willingness to hear their music. If you spend your whole career "underground," you'll never be able to reach out to people enough to draw a crowd.
