NastyNasty

​Jasper Reeder is San Francisco lazer-bass aficionado NastyNasty, a vital asset to our city's increasingly vibrant electronic music landscape. He contributes his speaker-wobbling tracks to a handful of labels, including local institution Frite Nite, and can be seen regularly rockin' parties in S.F. and beyond with his energetic live sets. Reeder's next performance is quite a doozy: NastyNasty will be taking the stage along with a massive lineup of local, out-of-town, and international acts -- including ex-BBC Radio1 personality Mary Anne Hobbs, the post-dubstep poster boys of Mount Kimbie, the production half of the Postal Service (a.k.a. DNTEL and Jimmy Tamborello), SoCal beat music newcomer Asura, and local dubstep patron DJG. That party jumps off this Saturday, September 25, and doubles as the grand opening of brand-new Mission club Public Works.

But before Reeder does his cosmic bass tune thing on Saturday, he hooked up an exclusive mix for All Shook Down -- a 22-minute span of NastyNasty productions called Lazer Soul. Reading what the beatsmith had to say about his tracks was particularly surprising. Not only does he quote Wilco's Jeff Tweedy and legendary Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson, he also reveals that many of his electronic compositions are inspired by the same feelings as lots of of pop and rock songs: "love or the lack thereof."
