“Onyx” Is The Quintessential Excision Album

It’s been three long years since his Excision‘s last album, but the day fans have been waiting for since 2018 is finally here. Starting off 2022 with a meteoric bang, Excision has unveiled Onyx, which delivers 17 tracks comprising instant classics, long-awaited IDs, and high-profile collaborations. Released on his label, Subsidia, Excision’s fifth album is the long-awaited follow-up to 2018’s Apex LP. Like a ride through a post-apocalyptic Jurassic Park, Onyx‘s opener, “Decimate,” flings listeners headlong into a mechanical labyrinth of cinematic and intense sounds. His signature, high-powered bass barrage pulverizes the arrangements in similar fashion in songs like “Demisaur” (with Kai Wachi), “Clockwork” (wi...

Excision and Dion Timmer Tap Alexis Donn for Soaring Melodic Bass Single, “Salvation”

Excision and Dion Timmer have unveiled their latest collaborative masterstroke, a soaring new single called “Salvation” with Alexis Donn. Longtime friends and collaborators, the two bass music superstars eschewed their penchant for heavy-hitting dubstep this time around, instead opting for an intoxicating melodic bass arrangement. Pitched vocal chops quiver through the booming saws and powerful chords of the song’s drops, which rumble with the same ferocity as a signature Subsidia release. Donn’s vocal performance here is not to be ignored. The Nashville-based singer-songwriter delivers a stentorian topline that ebbs and flows along with the dynamic production of Timmer and Excision, who have long been championed for their ability to produce vocal-driven banger...

Dion Timmer’s “Arcane” EP is a Masterclass in Bass Music Production

Dion Timmer has arrived with his highly anticipated Arcane EP, a 7-track stunner that arrives via Excision‘s Subsidia Records banner. Arcane is nothing short of breathtaking. Timmer effortlessly weaves through the darkest netherworlds of bass music, interpolating elements of drum & bass, dubstep, and even midtempo. Original musicality gushes through each of the record’s seven tracks like a broken dam, each one rife with an electrifying blend of meticulously crafted melodies and roaring bass patches. Arcane features joint tracks with Lucii, G-REX and Armanni Reign, Azuria Sky, Teddy Killerz, and Excision and Monika Santucci. The latter collaboration is something to marvel at. An Excision song at 102 BPM is completely out of left-field, but considering the forward-thinki...

Slushii and Dion Timmer Save the Day in Anime Music Video for “Test Me”

Back in 2019, two of bass music’s young stars, Slushii and Dion Timmer, teamed up to release a hi-tech dubstep single called “Test Me.” With sharpened bass cutting through pitched vocals, it quickly became a staple in many DJs’ sets around the world. Since then, the track has cemented itself as a fan-favorite and has even been added to the soundtrack of the dance music-heavy video game, Rocket League. Now, over a year later, the duo has released a new anime music video. In the video, you can see an animated version of the duo fighting robots to save a woman trapped in a sci-fi pod. In-sync with the beat of the song, each punch of the bassline corresponds to an explosion or attack from Slushii or Timmer as they plan their escape. With a luminous aesthetic throughout ...
