Jeff Abel, aka Excision, is considered to be one of the founding fathers of dubstep in North America, dating back nearly two decades. In this video we’ll be taking a deep dive into the rarely told story of how Excision became the biggest name in dubstep, from his early years as a starving artist in Kelowna, to becoming the industry machine he is today. We will delve into the musical side of his project, as well as Jeff’s business side as the owner of Lost Lands Music Festival, Bass Canyon, and Paradise Blue. No stone is left unturned in this career spanning, comprehensive documentary.

That's crazy man. I used to listen to excision back in 2011 in Middle School. I downloaded a random dubstep album with a dinosaur on it. I thought it was sick as heck I got hooked on right away. now I'm an adult 26 of age. I've been to multiple excision festivals Bass canyon thunderdome going to my first Los lands this summer. just honestly crazy to me the effort and dedication that this guy has put into the scene

if it has a cool dinosaur on it or cool robot on it you allready know lmao. my first experience was some random show in philly with mt. eden. Then after that i went to some rave after party. I ended up going to warehouse parties more than anything and got to see the rise of Trap music there. I remember my first excision show which i believe when funk hole vip came out. Thats set had the best intro ever, had the crowd going fuckin nuts. my buddy seen him at the tla in philly when his xrated album was out. He litterally destroyed that venue, had the chandeller fall, ceiling tiles blasted, the big ass curtain fell lol. hes permanetly banned haha

Excision's music was a vital part of my upbringing as young teen/adult and I'll always be grateful to him for that. I stopped listening during 2017 and switched primary genres from EDM to Hip Hop when the South Florida scene was popping off and Bass Music basically fell off for me, but not for lack of quality, just life. I've been re-listening to current EDM/Bass Music recently and I'm glad to see OG's like him are still keeping on! Excision, forever ❤
