Diverse Systems of Throb is Bassnectar's second album, released in 2004. It continued the experimental line of its predecessor, delving into glitch rhythms, breakcore, and abstract textures, always with a focus on bass manipulation.
The album was entirely produced by Lorin Ashton and independently distributed. It features vocal collaborations with artists like Sayuri and Danni, and shows an evolution in production complexity and sound design.
Although it did not enter commercial charts, Diverse Systems of Throb solidified Bassnectar as an innovator in the underground electronic scene. It is valued for its boldness and for pushing the genre's boundaries.
