Excision 2 DAY COMBO presale codes

Excision is a Canadian bass producer who grew from the Rottun Recordings era to arena scale with a hard, gear-grind dubstep sound.

Two nights, two moods

This two-night run sits in his newer Nexus production era, often split between a heavy headline set and a deeper Detox-style set that leans on mood and space. Expect anchors like Throwin' Elbows with Space Laces, the sing-along swell of Gold (Stupid Love), a melodic breather like Drown, and the team-up Another Me.

Deep cuts and rail energy

The crowd skews mixed: rail diehards in ear protection, dancers in pashminas near the midfloor, and veteran bass fans posting up to feel the low end. You will hear plenty of Excision edits and IDs, with transitions that fake out to silence before the drop bites back. Trivia heads note he helped launch Subsidia Records for up-and-comers and has long partnered with PK Sound on robotic arrays that steer bass focus inside arenas. He also road-tests new cuts at Lost Lands each fall, then tightens those ideas for winter tours. For clarity, the song picks and production guesses here are based on patterns and can change from city to city.

The Bass Community Around Excision

The scene feels practical and warm, with pashminas, jerseys, and patched hats sharing space with earplugs clipped to zippers.

Rail heat, floor smiles

Rail spots see headbanging and callouts before big moments, and the chant of X X X sometimes rolls across the front rows. You will see dinosaur motifs from Lost Lands next to the classic skull X logo, plus enamel pin trades and small label flags.

What people bring and trade

Merch lines lean toward black hoodies and reflective prints that pop under strobes. People swap water and gum, point each other to med staff when needed, and share videos of the cleanest double-drops rather than endless selfies. When Throwin' Elbows hits, shoulders square up for a short, bouncy pit, then the floor loosens again into wide, friendly circles. After the Detox set, the talk is often about IDs and that one deep cut he teased for only a minute.

How Excision Builds the Impact

Live, Excision favors sturdy 140 BPM skeletons where the drums stay simple so the bass textures punch through. He stacks drops using double-drops and fast EQ cuts, making collabs and edits feel like one giant track rather than a playlist.

Sound first, lights follow

The band here is the rig: time-coded lighting and video snap to his cues, while PK arrays carve the low end so kicks do not smear the subs. A neat quirk is how many tunes sit around F, a sweet spot that shakes big rooms without turning to mud.

Space, then slam

Detox segments slow the pace, letting reverb tails breathe and giving room for melodic leads before the tempo snaps back into heavy hits. Expect drum and bass bursts late in the set, plus throwback patches from the Apex and Onyx eras re-voiced with fresh tops. Visuals are bold but stay in service of the drop timing, with stutters, blackouts, and sudden white-outs used like percussion.

If You Like Excision, You Might Also

If you follow Subtronics, you will feel the shared taste for rubbery, cartoon-violent drops and quick-cut doubles that keep your feet moving.

Dark edges, bright lights

Fans of SVDDEN DEATH overlap for the darker, serrated sound design and the thrill of sudden fake-outs that crash into the rail. Zeds Dead heads tend to vibe with the broader palette, since both acts flip between crunchy half-time and speedy drum and bass codas.

Muscle plus melody

If your heart leans melodic, ILLENIUM collaborations with Excision hint at the same cathartic builds that bloom into chest-rattle bass. All four pull big, mixed crowds who care about impact first but still want songs they can hum on the ride home. That blend of muscle and melody is the overlap zone.
