Bassnectar reveals details of Tom Morello collaboration

Bassnectar has revealed details of a collaboration with Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello in a recent interview.

Speaking with Rolling Stone the bass don, real name Lorin Ashton, said Morello was working on a project with multiple producers to create electronic tracks he could recreate live on a "super, perverted, unexplainable, bastardised guitar mutant instrument thing."

"I pretty flagrantly just said (to Morello), I want to make a Rage Against The Machine song if that's cool, and I don't want someone to hear it and think, 'Oh, it's a DJ remix of Rage Against The Machine,'" Ashton told the magazine on his contribution. "I just want it to sound like some fucking funnel into a hurricane, and we have it, that's the cool news. We have this fucking killer song."

Big Boi, Chino Moreno, Matt Schultz and Pussy Riot are all reportedly in the mix to lend vocals to the collab, with further details yet to be released.

Meanwhile, Skrillex and Knife Party could be working on their own material with Morello, after the guitar legend tweeted "Knife Party, Skrillex, and Bassnectar are the new metal," earlier this year.

Bassnectar's 'Into The Sun' is out June 30 on his Amorphous Music imprint.
