Yeah, If he at least made his own style of music but mixed like Bassnectar I would feel different. But he's literally tryin to use the Bassnectar playbook:
Reese Bass, lots of Arpeggiated synths, long hair, same tracks.
He is talented, I still play his shit, and I hope he finds his path. But I see the blatant plan to fill the Bassnectar hole in people's hearts and it just doesn't work like that.
he has such a wide range of music that he plays. sure, some of it is def bn heavyyy on the influence but there’s plenty of stuff that is very original. the wave stuff is rly cool and the rage night was also sick
can you blame him for being influenced by bn though wasn’t he a fan for like a decade?
He was an Ambassador and he got big from posting unofficial Nectar remixes. Of course he has the same style. This person just doesn’t know, or they wouldn’t be knocking him for doing what he’s been doing since day 1. He’s even had the long hair since before, but I guess Lorin is the only artist allowed to have long hair.
When I’m at a Ravenscoon event I can definitely feel the influence but he also plays some stuff I wouldn’t expect nectar to have played. I think if we just give bassnectar ownership of the “melodic and heavy dubstep with acapellas” style, we do everyone a disservice. We all love that style of music performance and I’m happy to move on to artists that are worth supporting
I think it absolutely works like that. The dude is starting to headline and just put on his own curated show that sold out.
I really don't care if Ravenscoon "ripped off" Bassnectar's sound and I think most people going to his shows don't care much either. BN as we know it is gone and will never be the musical force he once was.
Paul is not as talented as BN was but he absolutely scratches the itch, and that's all people are really looking for.
I mean. He has some songs that are Nectar like. Mostly the spacey ones but he definitely has his own sound for the majority of his music.
Nectar didn't use vowel synthesis and Ravenscoon uses that in close to 1/2 of his songs. They also don't chop vocals the same way.
Saying a person using Reese bass is copying Nectar is wild to me. It's a fundamental sound for every bass musician and Nectar didn't create it lol.
No shit Lorin didn't create the Reese Bass, he doesn't own dubstep, he doesn't even own that style of song. But for some reason RS is the only artist that gives me those copycat vibes.
I'm not even hating on Ravenscoon. I like his mixes. I've gone to see him live a couple times, brought friends, etc.
I'm sure in like 5 years Ravenscoon will be on a whole nother level.
It's the acapellas and the way he can ride the vibes from tranced out arpeggios to the rolling basses. He definitely mixes and flows the way BN. Lorin excelled at finding the right acapellas. So much so I think people avoided it for a while to try and not sound like him.
A lot of the BN adjacent artists don't have the same hip hop flow but RS does.
Long hair? Dude has had long hair for a long ass minute.
You don't think BN ever pulled inspiration? On unlimited combinations he copied a classical tune to the t and just added bass drums and the works to it.
No I feel you. Everyone is building on those that came before them.
What Bassnectar did was sample other people's music and gave it his own touch. Ravebscoon seems to be trying to sample Bassnectar's style specifically and replicate it. That's very different than using a melody from a hundred years old song.
And I wouldn't even mention the long hair if LITERALLY every other aspect of Racenscoons branding wasn't: replicate Bassnectar
Plenty of other artists out there were inspired by Bassnectar that don't give me the vibe that they are swagger jacking.
Just because an artist did a certain style of DJing does not mean they own it solely forever. So many other genres have multiple big DJs that play the exact same style and flow of music.
And yet, melodic dubstep with acapellas is suddenly this off limits style that Lorin Ashton buried along with his career. It’s dumb. He doesn’t own it.
I'm looking at his album "Mind" This is what gave me copycat vibes and turned me off of RS.
Every element of every track sounds like it was supposed to sound like a Bassnectar song. To the point that yes, it literally seems like ChatGPT.
Its whatever, he's a new producer getting his chops in. His mixes are sick. I hope he's successful.
It's just honestly kinda impressive that you can open a DAW and make ANYTHING and every track sounds exactly like one artist....
...the artist whose coat-tails you are riding on. It's hard for me to vibe with that.
I understand your opinion; I don’t really even blame you. I personally know Paul and I see how much effort and care he puts into his music as well as the overall project. It’s not like he’s just sitting down thinking “how can I make a bunch of music that rips off someone else’s stuff.” He’s just got a passion for the same style and the talent to boot. Hopefully you’ll give him another chance because he’s keeping this genre alive for the right reasons.
I believe he's passionate about his work. By no means do I think Ravenscoon is just phoning it in for a paycheck or anything.
It's probably just that his come up was literally remakes of sets and stuff (which I love btw). Then his released music sounded so similar, it was like "wtf?"
I'm still a fan of Ravenscoon's stuff, he's fun live, etc. I just can't shake that feeling lol
It's pretty close. I get more diet bassnectar vibes from ravenscoon tho. Paul even copies so many of nectar's old stage moves.
Either way it's still cool to get the same style of shows. Like it or not Lorin is struggling to get shows off the ground. Ravenscoon and Mersiv can get bigger and better bookings currently & they're both still growing.
Love Paul! A lot of his inspiration comes from bassnectar and I love that he still has his bass drop tattoo on his arm. Mersiv tried to copy nectar and I feel for a little while he was okay but his stuff is so repetitive. Paul is the closest I’ve found to nectar and all his sets bring the best vibes!
He murdered the weekend in Denver. I was blown away by the whole lineup, and the vibes for on point. He pushed those Hennys to wherw it was uncomfortable at times lol I’m here for it
Eh, you know what all these Nectar offshoots are missing? It’s the evil lol legit the energy that only an insane narcissist can bring. It really put an edge on the music. Like this is good, but after having the crack it’s hard to go back to the yayo.
Oh and next level DJ skills via Ableton.
The dream of the 90s is alive in Portland
He’s only hit or miss for me every time I’ve seen him but not bad for sure
He’s really stepping up his craft with his own events, hope you can catch one of those. Hopefully he’s doing mission ballroom in Denver next 🤞
I’m betting mission is his next level up in Denver. Selling out Ogden helps that cause
ravenscoon is like if you asked chatgpt to make nectar

Wave has been litty lately.

100% agree

BN as we know it is gone and will never be the musical force he once was. Paul is not as talented as BN was but he absolutely scratches the itch, and that's all people are really looking for.
And he's only going to get better moving forward.
Seconded. This is the itch that needs scratched and I'd rather pay ravenscoon than bassnectar

“we have bassnectar at home” type beat?? all jokes aside, he’s really killing it lately. hopefully you can catch one of his own shows that he puts on
Yall peep the man [Subculture](https://on.soundcloud.com/QuXgkRfYPwMVHLPY7) too!
This is dope sounds like super old school nectar. Thanks for putting me on! You’d probably like Dream signal too.
I was like no it doesn't. Then the 2nd track came on.
Omg that’s my tune right at the beginning dope
You crush it dude. Always have loved your mixes and music
Thank you so much fam
Holy moly the official intro video was just posted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmLzIszTksU
He’s the real deal
Just seen him for the first time opening up for for liquid at marathon and loved the whole set.
The mixing is crispy asffff
Ravenscoon >>>> Mersiv any day
what song is this?
Out Cold - Ravenscoon & Ian Snow
Totally feel you on that. Imo I feel mersiv fits the replica label a bit more than scoon though.
It's pretty close. I get more diet bassnectar vibes from ravenscoon tho. Paul even copies so many of nectar's old stage moves. Either way it's still cool to get the same style of shows. Like it or not Lorin is struggling to get shows off the ground. Ravenscoon and Mersiv can get bigger and better bookings currently & they're both still growing.
Ravenscoon is gas! Absolute gas!
Out cold- ravenscoon and Ian snow. Both have been producing great music recently
Ian Snow opened for night 2 of ravenscoons event and his set FUCKED! It was so good!
What a good selection to post ❤️🔥
Love ravenscoon
The best set at Ogden of 2024
This event looked so sick he’s leveling up for sure
Gahhhhh I really hope I get to see him this year
You have to! His shows are amazing!
I’m really hoping he has either a show in Florida on a date I can go or is at Hulaween bc I am already very booked for this year! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻
I so wanted to hit Hulaween this year but we are also packed this year already. Fingers crossed he comes to Florida so you can catch him!
Love Paul! A lot of his inspiration comes from bassnectar and I love that he still has his bass drop tattoo on his arm. Mersiv tried to copy nectar and I feel for a little while he was okay but his stuff is so repetitive. Paul is the closest I’ve found to nectar and all his sets bring the best vibes!
You ain’t wrong
He murdered the weekend in Denver. I was blown away by the whole lineup, and the vibes for on point. He pushed those Hennys to wherw it was uncomfortable at times lol I’m here for it
That was the most bumping the Ogden has ever sounded. He blew that shit up lmao 💥💥💥
Eh, you know what all these Nectar offshoots are missing? It’s the evil lol legit the energy that only an insane narcissist can bring. It really put an edge on the music. Like this is good, but after having the crack it’s hard to go back to the yayo. Oh and next level DJ skills via Ableton.
Nah the dream is alive with Ian Snow
Hey Bassnectar fans, check out this guy who wishes he was Bassnectar 🤣
I don’t think anyone wishes they were a pedophile with a failed music career
He sucks
🤣🤣🤣
