Organizers Officially Pull the Plug on Lost Lands and Bass Canyon
Two of the nation’s most beloved bass music festivals, Lost Lands and Bass Canyon, each bit the bullet in one fell swoop, thanks to COVID-19. Since its inception back in 2018, Bass Canyon has emerged as a haven for trap and dubstep aficionados who wish to escape to the idyllic setting of The Gorge Amphitheatre for a weekend of bone-rattling bass. Back in March 2020, Bass Canyon announced a behemoth of a lineup featuring 12th Planet, Eptic, Subtronics, and a highly anticipated B2B set between Illenium and the festival’s founder, Excision. Excision’s Lost Lands festival has hosted numerous livestreams throughout the course of the pandemic, aptly titled “Couch Lands.” While his elite production team delivered an incredible virtual concert experience, th...
Watch This 11-Year-Old Perform Spine-Chilling Dance to Excision Song on America’s Got Talent
At the age of 11, most kids are playing soccer, collecting comic books, or playing video games. Noah Epps, though, is dropping the collective jaw of our country after a mind-boggling performance on America’s Got Talent. Noah recently appeared on the famed competition show to perform his patented dance routine, which no one saw coming. The performance started out innocuously with the typical contestant-judge repartee, when Noah informed the judges of his age and the fact that he started dancing in first grade after he tried to enter a dance battle but was stifled by kids who said “he sucked.” Dressed to the nines in a badass marionette outfit and astonishingly realistic makeup, Noah then flung headlong into his routine, in which he languidly dances in robotic fashion to a ...

Dubstep kings Excision and Downlink are longtime friends and collaborators. With heavy offerings like “Crowd Control” and “Robo Kitty,” the pair have dominated the bass music scene for a decade.

The time has come to take back the planet.” At the drop, an emphatic “Time to resist!” heralds a heavy and relentless bass assault on the senses. Each producer...

Wooli Announces New Collab With Excision Is In the Works
Wooli just took to Twitter to drop an absolute bomb with a tweet announcing that he has a new collab in the works with Excision. The dubstep don also revealed that vocalist on the track is HALIENE, who has appeared on electronic songs from some of the biggest names in the game, including Armin van Buuren and Seven Lions, among many others.
