This Friday, Excision will be playing a make-up show for a 2500 party that got shut down about a month ago. This party will be ONLY 1500 people... ONLY? I thought 800 people was huge for this scene... and then he goes and headlines two MASSIVE parties. It's really unbelievable and I must say I love the Calgary dubstep scene! So incredible.
Alright so if you have read my previous posts you know that the first time I saw excision, I didn't even know who he was. It was my first ever big dubstep show, and he opened up for Caspa. I remember sitting in the booths waiting for Caspa thinking this guy is really good. He is slaying it! Anyways, I never really knew anything about him other than a couple songs...
Apex-Nowhere to Run(Excision+Datsik Remix)

...until I walk into the village Saturday night in 2009, put my earplugs in and march to the front of the speakers. Truth be told I had no idea what songs were being played other than a few that I could recognize, but the movement of the crowd and the overall intense experience that night is something I'll never forget. It wasn't until he released his shambhala mix a few weeks later, that I truly appreciated what an amazing dj/producer this guy was. Not only does he go seemlessly from dubstep to dnb and back a couple times, he packs 90 minutes with 49 songs! guy is constantly mixing, blending, switching and keeps it sounding so fresh the entire 90 minutes. So crazy! Not only that but 19 of the 49 tunes are his! AND like 80% of them are released on his label Rottun Records! Something unheard of from a North American DJ, let alone a guy from Canada. Yes, Excision! Prob the top Dubstep artist in the world, or close to is Canadian! Shed a tear, coz he has put Canadian dubstep and all of our crazy fans ON THE MAP! Anyways, check out his 2008 mix, and his brand new 2010 mix here:
