You would be almost forgiven if TMSV doesn’t ring a bell straight away. But with more than fifteen years in the game, tours in Europe, the United States and Canada, this Dutch artist knows a thing or two about the crafting (and grafting) of soundscapes that leave an undeniable impression on one’s brain. For some of you, recalling his thoroughly rinsed deep dubstep tracks, like ‘Haze’ and ‘Modification’ is sufficient. More recently, the Utrecht-based TMSV, who also releases jungle and drum an

When it comes to rising stars in the electronic pop scene, few shine as brightly as EVVA. She made her impressive debut in May with the single ‘Chasing’, instantly grabbing attention. Just a month later, she proved her talent was no one-hit wonder by releasing another stunning track, ‘Wonder’. Much like her debut, ‘Wonder’ draws you in with its dreamy synths, ethereal vocals, and vibrant production. The track perfectly captures the feeling of curiosity and discovery, inviting listeners to explor

Example is a legend in not only the UK, but the global dance and hip-hop scene too. Platinum albums, chart-topping singles, headline festivals slots, and a lengthy stint releasing inescapable anthems that bridge the gap between electronic, rap, and pop are merely a couple of Example’s many career accolades. Debuting his project in 2017, Moss has risen to become one of Australia’s most enchanting artists. Known for his bass-driven heaters, he has shared the stage with Skrillex, RL Grime, and

Congrats are in order for Excision (Jeff Abel) and his fiancé, Emma! The two longtime lovebirds took to social media yesterday afternoon to announce something special. They are expecting their first child together this coming October – just after Lost Lands, set for the end of September. The two announced their engagement at the end of 2023. Emma has been Jeff’s biggest support and partner for many years now. Across all social platforms, many other artists and fans have expressed their

Here’s one unique multigenre track for you to kick off the week. Electronic music powerhouses Excision and Dion Timmer have teamed up today to deliver their latest, a truly explosive track, with a tongue-twister of a name. ‘DABADABADABADABA‘ is a high-octane collaboration, which also serves as their welcome return to Monstercat after a year-long hiatus, while being their first joint release on the label. The release arrives during a landmark year, with Excision’s flagship festival Lost L

Excision and Sullivan King has become a pairing that fans will love no matter what, and they have a brand new collaboration — their fifth, so far — for fans to latch onto. “Fall Apart” is the latest single from Sullivan King’s forthcoming album on Monstercat, Thrones of Blood, due out next month. “‘Fall Apart’ really quickly became one of my favorite tracks for the record, mainly because it has this really raw nu metal/2000s rock influence to it, which is something I definitely grew up on and l

Back in 2019, long before the pandemic was even a glimmer in the public’s collective eyes, Excision and Wooli teamed up for a collaborative EP called Evolution. Among the four tracks was “Lockdown,” the opening track of the EP. Now, a little over three years later, the two have joined forces again for the implicit sequel, “Titans.” “Titans” isn’t the first time they’ve worked together since “Lockdown,” but it’s a clear sequel that even shares some of the same samples (see 2:30). Overall, howeve

In a thrilling development for fans of both music and film, bass music DJ and producer Excision has officially partnered with Paramount Pictures for their upcoming movie, Transformers One. The announcement follows a captivating reveal at Bass Canyon, where Excision premiered new visuals featuring the iconic Transformers. The set also included a mysterious new ID, potentially hinting at its involvement in the upcoming project.     Excision, who has long been a passionate fan of the Transformers f

While music production software and tools have become more accessible than ever before, money is still a significant barrier for entry into music as a full-time career for many aspiring producers. Whether it’s stable living conditions, or a separate job that takes time away from your true passion, financial freedom allows those who dream to create without worry. To that end, Excision is launching the Excision Bass Music Initiative. $100,000 will be divided amongst 10 “underrepresented or underp

In 2024, when the electronic dance music scene is dominated by technologically advanced visuals, Excision stands tall as one of its foremost innovators. Following the viral sensation of his 3D visuals, which seemingly leap out of the screen, the anticipation for his "Nexus" tour surged to unprecedented levels. For two of its biggest shows, Excision came to Los Angeles' Kia Forum in mid-April and delivered captivating, unparalleled experiences. Despite not being a festival but rather a single eve

Excision has partnered with Hasbro to release a new single, "Together As One," inspired by the characters and moments from the forthcoming Transformers One film. Excision, a longtime fan of the franchise, turned back the clock to produce "Together As One," which harkens back to the days when the uninitiated said, "Dubstep is just Transformers noises." Well as it turns out, they were right—but they never imagined what the genre could become. Featuring lines from stars Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Jo

Fans of dubstep and Transformers are finding an unlikely alliance after Excision's shocking reveal of his work for the franchise's newest film. The dubstep superstar last weekend returned to the scenic Gorge Amphitheatre for another iteration of his beloved Bass Canyon festival. As you'd expect, the event featured performances from some of the biggest names in dubstep and bass music alongside a bevy of the world's most promising DJs and electronic producers. Like usual, eye-popping clips have be

Bass Heads! Holidays maybe be over, but this year will bring out the “Bass Gremlin” within us. At the hands of Excision, we will head towards the fifth edition of Excision presents: The Thunderdome. The three day all-Bass event will take place in the Tacoma Dome in Washington State February 7-9. Every other year, the festival adds an extra day for more intensity and fun sets, including huge surprise b2bs. Naturally, the festival includes three different sets by the ringleader Excision.

In anticipation of Excision‘s upcoming staple event — The Thunderdome 2022 — the bass music authority has unleashed his live set from The Thunderdome 2020. Running over an hour and 20 minutes, the performance is laced with plenty of Excision favorites, including collabs with Subtronics, Illenium, Slander, and more. Plus, music from Peekaboo & Calcium, YOOKiE, Spag Heddy, Hydraulix & SWRVO to name a few. Excision’s production is top notch, offering a full on audio/visual experience and

Legend has it that Lost Lands was so loud last year that it tore a hole in the festival's grounds—until now. Later this month, Excision will welcome Subtronics, NERO, Rusko, Deathpact and many more to his flagship festival in Ohio. Despite the 2024 edition of Lost Lands selling out in record time, the dubstep juggernaut and his team have not held back with regard to improvements to the Jurassic-themed outing. With just over two weeks to go, they've pulled back the curtain on the festival's newes

Beginning with X Rated in 2011, then Codename X, Virus, and Apex, Excision has been feeding the bass world with albums for a decade now. And with the success of Subsidia and tours around the world (COVID-willing), his popularity continues to grow. So it would be the perfect time to drop a new album in the new year, with Onyx. Fans have already heard a preview of the album last week, but it’s really so short that there’s plenty left to the imagination. Check out the official cover art for th

Excision is unveiling a brand-new audiovisual experience for his fans down under this spring, according to the organizers of the Touch Bass event series. Touch Bass is a touring festival that brings the sounds of bass music to six cities across Australia and New Zealand. Since 2017, organizers have showcased artists from all over the world in cities that are often skipped over by major artists when touring. Excision has now been revealed as the headliner on four of the six Touch Bass shows, the

Hot off the heels of the larger-than-life return of his Lost Lands festival, Excision is back with another colossal announcement.

Another chapter in the colossal duo of Wooli and Excision is set to unfold, and rising bass music star Tape B is joining the effort.  Letting the mammoth project out of the bag, Wooli took to X to share a photo of the three producers ordering sushi to the studio following a session. The collaborative offering promises to deliver a trifecta of unique styles. Excision and Wooli's storied history has yielded earth-shaking collaborations including "Titans, "Another Me" and "Zombie," among many other

Excision & Wooli have a long-standing partnership having put out many songs together at this point. But now, they’re leveling up with the addition of metalcore band The Devil Wears Prada with their song “Reasons” out this Wednesday, April 5.
