With influences stemming from the likes of English electronic band The Prodigy, Abel dropped out of university in 2005 to pursue his passion for production fascinated by the lack of electronic music in his homeland of Canada. Spending up to 12 hours a day perfecting his craft through online tutorials, Abel adopted the stage name Excision.
In 2005 Abel founded the bass record label Rottun Recordings addressing the apparent lack of an EDM scene in Canada. It was with his label where he would release early material in the form of the “Rottun 2007” mixtape featuring producers such as Noiz, Stenchman and Ultrablack. The following year Excision released his first official single “No Escape” and the same year Abel launched his annual “Shambhala” mixtape.
Releasing his debut EP “Boom EP” in 2009 saw Excision collaborate with fellow producers Flux Pavilion and Datsik featuring the tracks “Boom” and “Calypso” as he rapidly began making a name for himself on the scene. Subsequent EP releases would see him team up with the likes of The SubDivision, Liquid Stranger, Downlink and Bassnectar before embarking upon US tours and bringing forth his memorable stage shows.
In 2011 Excision released his debut full length “X-rated” featuring the tracks “The Underground”, “Execute” and “8 Bit Superhero. 2012 proved a busy year in the Excision camp as he launched dubstep and bass label Destroid Music alongside Downlink and KJ Sawka while also introducing his new range of 250,000 watt sound system at the Boomfest showcase in Colorado, US.
With the release of his second album “Codename X” in 2015, Excision had firmly secured his place as the forerunner in Canadian EDM as he helped inject life into the practically non-existent electronic dance scene in his home territory, influencing the likes of Downlink and Datsik, some of Canada’s finest electronic exports. Making his stamp with his trippy animated live visuals and playing to as many as 20,000 audience members, Excision creates an effervescent and electrifying atmosphere, captivating crowds across the globe.
SEE EXCISION. If you like dubstep. If you like rude bass. If you like amazing sound systems and loud dub, then go. I have seen Excision twice and he made me go crazy each time. He can throw down a show. He is a beast DJ. He always plays his best stuff which is bomb. You will not be disappointed. Be prepared to dance. Enjoy.
This concert was amazing. Not only was the music amazing the scenery, the lights, the atmosphere that was produced was incredible. Everyone was just there to have fun and enjoy the night and that is what happened. Would recommend to any electronic lover and anyone who loves music and is looking for a fun night. Would go again
The music of Belgian born DJ and producer Eptic has taken the lucky musician to all corners of the globe to share his anthemic and involving live show. It would seem there are always new artists emerging out of Europe's fruitful and exciting dance scene yet Michaël Bella has stood out from the crowds with his bass heavy tones. The first tracks from EPs such as 'Slime City' and 'Like A Boss' cut through the over saturation of the genre and made himself heard above all of the noise.
A cult fanbase emerged in Europe and the States and it is those underground fans who fill the venue tonight waiting for Eptic patiently as his decks glow in an ominous purple colour. The lights suddenly drop and screens illuminate with trippy, fragmented visuals that look like multiple pieces of glass shattering. The bass comes in and threatens to bring down the building's structure with its over emphasis and Michael appears. Mixing at insane speeds from the offset, the whole crowd dance along to the extended intros and the show has truly got underway. He holds them expertly as he mixes and acts as hype man all at once. This guy is going places so just try and keep up.
