Bassnectar, the popular dubstep and electronica DJ, has announced an indefinite hiatus from the music business after an Instagram page, EvidenceAgainstBassnectar appeared.

Bassnectar real name Lorin Ashton, 42, is accused of soliciting sex from teenage girls across the Instagram page. At the time of writing, there are 54 testimonies on the page. The first post on the page came on June 29.

On the evening of July 3, Ashton posted to his social media channels. Despite saying that he would be “stepping down” from music, Ashton continued to deny the “rumors.” The DJ said:

I am stepping back from my career and I am stepping down from my position of power and privilege in this community because I want to take responsibility and accountability. I feel intense compassion for anyone I may have hurt. I truly hope you allow me a chance to work together toward healing.

The rumors you are hearing are untrue, but I realize some of my past actions have caused pain, and I am deeply sorry. I am handing off our nonprofit Be Interactive to a diverse team to continue without my involvement moving forward. Sometime in the future I may share more thoughts on these matters, but for now, please take care of each other and I wish you all the brightest future.

According to Your EDM, Ashton originally denied the allegations on June 29 in a “private Facebook fan group.” Ashton said that, “The rumors of sexual misconduct that are circulating about me are completely untrue.” Ashton added that that was all he wanted to say on the matter “because it truly is that simple.” Ashton described all of his previous relationships as being “consensual.” Ashton wrote that he was an “ally of women and stand in solidarity with victims. Thank you to all those who are listening to real victims of abuse and standing to support women.”
