thats awesome, that was the same year i started listenin to this newer thing in the states called wubbs, just kitten, on a serious note tho i still remember the first song by him i heard was "wasted" but to this day "Darkness" is easily one of my favorites
i think he definitely has help with his music. Hes putting on one of the top festivals in the US im sure he is busy. You can tell his music is not the same from before. Hes done so much for the community that i dont even care he deserves to just chill
Idk how anyone talks shit about Jeff. I’ve seen him preform more than any other artist (at least 10 times) over the years and if I’m blessed to make it to lost lands again I’ll be at his set every day he preforms 100%.
I started listening around 2010 and fucking finally saw him live for the first time in 2021 at freaky deaky 😂 I wish I didn’t wait that long, I always wish I went to see him on tour with his executioner stage and any Destroid shows :/
As a Kelowna local and long time Excision fan, this was really vindicating to watch! This is the true history of North American Dubstep, and it never gets talked about. People don't realize that this shit evolved completely independent of Burial and the UK dubstep movement. So cool. Thank you!
Thx for giving Jeff the respect he deserves. The excision project has brought heaven on earth to me and I’ll forever be grateful of what he has done for the scene. Great video ❤
These days, I’m usually more of a deep dub listener, but I will always ALWAYS go to excision if it fits in my schedule. The man has yet to disappoint me, and people that hate on him just like to hate popular things I’m convinced lmfao
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
I discovered Excision in 2011 when I heard his track Swagga playing at Burning Man.. He's one of my biggest musical influences. Though I have yet to have the pleasure of checking out Lost Lands, this year will be my fourth Bass Canyon and I'm incredibly stoked, as it's my all time favorite festival. Thank you for all you do on this channel. I've really been enjoying these documentaries on so many of my favorite artists. Keep up the great work!
I don't know how many freakin time Ive watched Excision live IN PERSON but it will never get old😂🤣 LEME GET THIS STRAIGHT, IF YOU HAVENT SEEN EXCISION PERFORM LIVE IN PERSON THEN you don't KNOW..
I probably wouldn't be listening to almost 100% bass music in one form or another without listening to excisions 2008 & 2009 shambhala mixes. 08-11 are 4 absolute classic mixes I can't imagine seeing them live. great video as always
@@audioeats no worries, I only know this because I was actually a fan of my name is Skrillex wayyyy more than Scary Monsters lol much preferred the electro style than the abrasive screeching on monsters
Saw Excision last year at EDC 2023 for the first time and fell in love. I’ve already seen him twice this year! I went to the Nexus tour and just saw him the night before last at EDC Las Vegas 2024. Can’t wait to see him again!
If you talking Excision you gotta talk Datsik. Those 2 were on everything and went basically everywhere together in the early days. Datsik was my intro to dubstep with songs like Crunch and Vanish and will always be up there as one of the greats to me regardless of the allegations he took later in his career. Excision is a GOAT dont get me wrong but Datsik is right there alongside him.
exactly, you took the words out of my mouth, aside from the fact datsik is way better than excision ever was excisions sound was always inferior retreat was incredible nuke em, jenova project, apples ect
Been out of the EDM scene for a while. However, every now and then I look back and recall the memories I have being on the rail at Excision shows and Lost Lands. My kids and I will BLAST Jeff’s music on the way to work and school. Excision is the GOAT. Love you, Jeff!
Excision is also playing 4 other festival this year with lostlands and bass canyon he is playing Elements Music Festival, EDCLV, Shambala Music festival and Electric Forest festival.
While not the biggest fan, Excision's and Downlink's "The Underground" will never leave my playlist. It's funny how a lot of the seemingly super level headed one's have the most outrageous sound.
Man, shoutout to my childhood friend in NM that introduced me to excision. Led to me seeing Destroid in Toronto and that is by far the best dubstep show ive ever witnessed, insanity.
Great video!! I first got into Edm in 2017 and my friends told me about Excision in 2018. This year will my 4th Lost Lands and my 5th Bass Canyon!!! Can't stop won't stop😁🥹🫶💚🤌😤🤝🤘
So I grew up a mere 300km from Excision and Datsik, And in 2008, I went to Kelowna for a BMX race where I saw the boys play in some rugged dank club. They were my introduction to all electronic music
Thank you so much for the video. I was waiting for this one. Ideas for next video? Sullivan king, Ray Volpe, crankdat, Kai Watchi, Wooli, Kompany? I wish I had the power to research like you do for these videos. Again thank you so much for this video❤️
Ill be at Bass Canyon 2024, my 4th time attending and I cannot fucking wait. This video was amazing and gave me a lot of background. I attended Bass Canyon in 2019 as my First. Show. Ever. (On a whim too while on vacation). And if it wasnt for Excision I likely wouldnt have found current day dubstep exciting for an even longer period of my life. I love this man, his contribution to the community cannot be overstated.
THANK SO MUCH 4 SHARING SUCH AN INSPIRING STORY, IT TOTALLY ROCKS TO KNOW HOW REALLY GOOD ARTISTS HAD TO PUT UP WITH A LOT OF SACRIFICING AND UNDERGROUNDING IN THEIR LIVES TO MAKE IT BIG, IT´S NOT AS EASY AS IT SEEMS TO GO FROM UNDERGROUND TO MAINSTREAM AND NOT ANYBODY GETS TO MAKE IT BIG, BUT IT SURE MADE ME FEEL LIKE MY LIFE MAKES MORE SENSE AND TO KEEP ON GOING PRODUCING AND VIBING UP NEW SONGS AND ART AND ALL THE THINGS THAT MAKE MY LIFE WORTH LIVING AND TO NEVER LET DOWN MY TRUE DREAMS!!!
I think it would be great if you could cover the duo Ivy Lab. They're one of my favorite artists and their style is so unique and they've produced songs in a quite a few genres. They're more commonly known for their halftime dnb and trappy style. Their recent album, Infinite Falling Ground is one of my favorite EDM albums of all-time and is on repeat a lot.
I remember my first festival was ultra 2011 and excision & datsik were basically on the bottom of the line up. Insane how the next 10 years would play out.
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 ❤
A topic that you could have touched on is his relationship with Zeds Dead. About the beef from Lost Lands and how they never played for Excision again, until this summer where they will appear at Bass Canyon.
Never heard of this! long time Zeds Dead fan and was big into dubstep back in 2010-2014 and kind of got out of the scene until back in 2022, now have gone to thunderdome, Bass Canyon and paradise blue this year 💕
Great video as always! I remember listening to the Shambala mixes and his other songs in High School which really got me into dubstep. One thing I noticed is his most recent Nexus tour was not mentioned in the video.
Excision fan since 2011, seen him 30+ times since. Thank you so much for putting so much effort into telling his story! He really has contributed so much to the scene, and it often gets overlooked. Excellent video, can't wait to watch more of your material!
Thanks for making this dude. Excision is kinda an elusive creature since he’s so introverted that he rarely ever does interviews. Thanks for sharing his story. I’ve been a fan since 2012 and witnessing his comeup in the industry has been glorious. Going to my first Bass Canyon this year and I’m fuckin PUMPED!
You make it easy to watch a 30 min video ! Genuinely enjoyed every second of it and as always appreciate the in depth knowledge you put into making these 🙌🏽
I'm french and i'm going to us from august to december, and i hope that i will find someone there that can bring me to lost lands, i don't want to miss this festival at all. (If someone is not far from saint-louis and go to lost lands, inwould be happy to make the road with you)
I love jeff so much and watching this video makes me so jelous. So envious of him. Living in kelowna this hits super hard. So proud of this guy. So much love and respect 🙏 thank you for existing Seriously watching this had me super emotional. Thank you
Thank you for sharing, this will be my second Lost Lands this year and I couldn't be more excited. This video has made me gain a new appreciation for Excision & all that he does!
been going to lost lands since 2017!! watched the stage catch on fire lol. his 2 hour lost lands sets are by far the best DJ sets i've ever seen in my life🫡 he's a musical genius!
Saw Excision again in Chicago in late December 2023 which was the first stop of his tour, insane visuals and lasers, not to mention the music was fire, I was shitting myself the whole time
Just wanted to say absolutely this channel and the content. Truly no other channel doing deep dives into dj backgrounds and history like this and also helps show newer people to the scene who these guys are. Keep killing it dude🤘
The fact that he even played a set on the main stage of Ultra Miami this year is crazy. Last time that happened was back in 2012 with Skrillex’s Ultra Miami set.
2011 was indeed his breakout year--you forgot to mention his appearance at Electric Forest that year. He was at the top of my list to see that year--I hadn't heard anything like it at the time. Now living in Columbus Ohio we're spoiled by Lost Lands every year. It's turning central Ohio and the surrounding region into a mecca for dubstep & electronic music.
