How Excision Became the Biggest Name in Dubstep

[@Kanyonkhuu]

Lost lands is an incredible gift to the world

[@DevilesEye1088]

100% agree ..

[@MAVCITY333]

And Shambhala ✌️ I would love to experience lost lands

[@derekslivicke7688]

Let's not forget Paradise Blue! 💙

[@yikes710]

how about the underpaid artists who he's piggybacked off of for years

[@Sabot623]

Infrasound though

[@jothamhanz5737]

I have been following Excision since 2010, my son was 13 at the time, since 2019 my son and I go to Lost Lands every year now!

[@isiahmac3872]

Goals

[@spinninH22]

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

[@Viperactive]

man does NOT get enough love for being an actual 🐐

and the next goat is right here^

Didn't expect to see you here, you're killing it dude

Woahh viperactive!! Legend

@@audioeatsare you going to lost lands this year?

[@valentinobonanno6495]

Love yout music dawg ^^

[@Ijir0]

Excision getting the recognition he fucking deserves. I'm glad to see this video

[@villain253]

Went to my first Thunderdome this year, One of the top five experiences of my entire life.

[@Kennyjamesss]

You need to get out more then

[@thegamebosszero]

Wait until you go to the original real Thunderdome 😉

[@wesleypacillas]

@@thegamebosszero why would he go to that one. See all you buff fairies muzz for 2 days?

[@WeebRunner]

I first started listening to Excision back in 2009 and first saw him live in Atlanta in 2012 on his X Rated Tour. It’s insane how far he’s come.

[@brianyoung1050]

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 :/

[@WeebRunner]

@@brianyoung1050 I was lucky enough to catch Destroid at Ultra. It was better than I ever expected.

[@mindajar6085]

Shambala 09 and 10 are forever goated. Still play those tunes.

[@Th3lastsong]

@@mindajar6085Datsik was dope as well

[@ThunderBlastvideo]

his visuals are seriously the best of them all

[@MrGimli2]

People still talk shit about Excision. Claiming it's all ghost writers lol. Dudes an OG icon.

[@oscarsantos4953]

He ain’t drake lll lol

[@Lidia_Es]

Well. If there is proof out there then go off that

[@ThePlatinumMeta]

Yes he’s been around forever, but you can’t deny the fact that he is more so a business man DJ now more than anything

[@peannndipp]

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

[@chillkyler]

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%.

[@TheChrisBagel]

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!

[@sac5608]

well excision got inspiration from vex'd which is dubstep and british so?

[@TheChrisBagel]

@@sac5608 dude everybody gets inspired from somewhere. Did vexd bring this music to the forefront? No.

[@sac5608]

@@TheChrisBagel you guys do dubstep with no dub or 2step. you personally yes you! should change the name. it bloody disgrace maaaate

[@TheChrisBagel]

@@sac5608 bro literally no one cares, music evolves. The modern sound is way more interesting and fun to dance to. If you like boring shit that's fine, but just cause its OG doesn't make it better. Imagine the audacity to think the first iteration of something was the best lol go to bed

[@sac5608]

@@TheChrisBagel i agree with you mate i'm just messing with you but i like both genres but datsik didnt event dubstep just saying ;) also its not boring. HOW DARE YOU! depends what drugs you are on or personality. but i guarantee mate if you get a good system and play more 140/deeper/darker dubstep you wouldnt find it boring. bass vibrates the f out of you. theres good and bad in both genres. difference is the fan base older style dubstep = drum and bass, garage, dub, grime heads trench/tearout/riddim (riddim has a darker deeper side too, came from scotland, shiverz,ad etc) = metal/emo/rock/edm heads

[@Italiansauseege]

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 ❤

[@AshtonEbs]

This is one of the coolest channels I’ve found this year, thank you for your service ❤

[@AndySmirnov-mp4nv]

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

[@dakotademello3330]

I’m going to my first excision show the nexus tour I wanna go to thunder dome and lost lands so bad… someday

[@jessekeller2215]

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

[@Alexandra0023p]

You will have such an amazing time at Lost Lands!!

[@kylesullivan371]

so under rated as a channel!

[@finnemilessy5826]

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

[@dgorman5814]

Found excision in 2014 and haven’t stopped listening to him since !

[@kadincoolkid6907]

Can we be friends

[@SweetSpotEDM]

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!

[@gabrielmcguoirk6106]

Saw excision for the first time in 2012 in Philly. He opened for Flux, Adventure Club, and ZD. Very underrated lineup at the time

[@spawny6191]

These videos are so important! Thank you soooo much! as a 16 year dubstep die hard fan your doing important work for the scene

[@Doze3]

This channel has definitely been one of recent favorites that I found

[@Lidia_Es]

I’m only two minutes in and I can tell this is gonna be awesome. Excision is one of my favorite artists of all time. Love this. Thank you

[@audioeats]

I used some clips of your videos, thank you for uploading them! They're crazy good quality and very stable

[@DollsChvrch]

This is why he’s The Dubstep God, and I’ve been saying this long before I knew his history. Lost Lands is a blessing to this Earth.

[@xBRAAAPx]

Excision, Caspa, and Rusko got me into dubstep. Thank you for this video!!!

[@Azmangotea]

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!

[@cjsmith8319]

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!

[@him6944]

Another top video! Thanks for making them!!

[@d8-10]

Watching this happen throughout your life & being apart of this is something else

[@Yuenix]

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..

[@andrewbarrett1298]

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😁🥹🫶💚🤌😤🤝🤘

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.

[@musicfeedsthewhole]

Went to the first 5 lost lands and it was incredible to see the growth of the festival and him as an artist

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!

[@claudiaguerra2443]

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!

[@Pereira04ps3]

Going to EDC this year. Can't wait to see Excision live again

[@Bruh19600]

Babe wake up, audio eats just posted a new dj documentary

[@NicholasPaul-c5f]

What's hilarious is I just tried to wake my girl up to try and get her to watch this 😂

[@FatigueZ]

The Shambhala mixes changed my life. 2010 and 2012 are my favorites all time of any genre or artist

[@boussIRL]

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 ❤

[@sickfoo5506]

Excision been helping me rip PRs in the gym for the last year

[@samalexandre6042]

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.

[@coo1beens776]

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.

[@wydellbirchwood9146]

me too! see you there!

[@seanphillips-FedSmk]

2013 was a vibe, the sound at crush az was so loud the ceilings started to break and dust fell all over the crowd.

[@huuttaanngg]

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

Audio gets great input on all these EDM dubstep artists , it’s f*kin awesome 😎

[@aeowid]

Awesome documentary, thank you 👏 This will by my first year going to Lost Lands 👀🦖

[@claytonccrider]

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.

[@dariusmaresca8085]

Holy shit the realization that Korn had a tour and their support srtists included skilled and excision is some alternate reality shit I can't believe

[@audioeats]

Sullivan King went on tour with Avenged Sevenfold a few months ago, so the metal + dubstep connection is alive and well

[@77ELCREADOR]

They also included Datsik and Downlink

[@amg1049]

Wow I learned so much here. Been going to raves for 6 years but finally gonna see excision next month. Im even more hype now. Thanks!

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

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

[@BrandiImhoff]

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.
