If you've been followin the Dubstep scene these past few years, then this DJ should be no stranger to you. British Columbian Jeff Abel, or Excision as we better know him, has been bringin that grime since '07, and my how he has evolved since. No telling, the guy has been doin great things since the beginning, but to date, he has accomplished way more than just being a dubstep DJ who comes in heavy doses of dirt.
Abel created Rottun Recordings (check out All Releases by Rottun Recordings), which has dropped tracks from numerous artists - like Datsik, Downlink, Mark Instinct, Vaski, Torqux& Twist, Antiserum, Liquid Stranger, and many more - providing our ears with more a that grime we just love so damn much.
Pulled from his Wikipedia, the signature sound of Excision "takes the influence from the morphing basslines of drum and bass, the aggressive energy of heavy metal, and the laid back vibes of hip hop", and that ain't no lie.
Venturing beyond Rottun, he just recently released a new album, X-Rated, with the mau5trap, which actually sounds like a damn good idea considering all the hype that currently surrounds Deadmau5, and the rest of the trap. Just like his other tracks, this album packs some serious heat; definitely would recommend givin it a listen if you feel like melting your face.
Speakin of melting faces, and yet another reason why you're readin about this Canadian badboy, starting in 2008, Excision futher established himself on the scene by releasing free mixes of his sets at Shambala Festival, and the style is no different from his 'sound' described above – intricate and fuckin HEAVY!
Now, another year is pretty much behind us, which means… Another heavy mix from Excision at Shambhala! This year’s epic one is filled with over 70 mins of straight grime from start to finish, and can be found on his FaceBook as a free download - all ya gotta do is push that lil 'Like' button, and it's yours.
Doo it, and don’t worry about thankin me later.
Hope you can cop this one before your holiday travels, so you can check it while in a train, plane, automobile, or my favorite method, while waiting for a delayed flight, like me right now haha I will say, this mix is definitely makin the time fly.
Below are some of his other tunes as well... Be sure to check his SoundCloud for some other free goodies.
Ok, no more talkie. Safe travels, Enjoy, and have a Happy Holidays : )
