Sullivan King Has a Collaboration With Excision in the Works
Dubstep fans are in for quite a treat after Sullivan King spilled the beans on a new collaboration with fellow bass music star Excision. The dubstep titans have collaborated twice in years past, teaming up in 2018 for “Fight Through The Pain” and “Wake Up.” Those tracks represented a bit of a contrast with their melodic and heavy-hitting sound design, respectively, and if King’s announcement is any indication, this third collaboration will have elements of both. Sully took to Twitter to exult in the vocals of the unreleased track, using the perfect emoji to illustrate his point. Check out the tweet below. Sully sent the dubstep community into a frenzy with the tweet, but he didn’t stop there. He in a follow-up post, he offered fans a hint of what t...
Get Lost in the Melodic Bass of Subsidia Records’ Euphoric 18-Track “Dawn: Vol. 2” Compilation
New year, new compilation from Excision‘s Subsidia Records. After the label debuted in late 2020 with a gargantuan 118-track release, it has since released two thematic follow-up compilations—the second volumes of the wonky Dusk and the relentless, heavy-hitting Night.

Excision Announces Artists on Upcoming Subsidia Melodic Showcase, “Dawn Vol. 2”
Excision left no neck unbroken in 2020 with the debut of his own record label, Subsidia. Split into three volumes, Dusk, Night, and Dawn, the 118-track debut of the label rocked the bass music world to the core and made Subsida an easy choice for EDM.com‘s Record Label of the Year. Since then, they’ve released a new volume in both the wonky and weird Dusk and the unforgivingly-heavy Night sagas. Now, echoing the calls for new beginnings brought on by the New Year, Excision and company are preparing for the release of the second chapter of the melodic bass journey that is Dawn.

Love at First Sight: The Top 10 EDM Artist Logos
When it comes to launching a successful music career, banging tunes aren’t the only factor when it comes to success. Instead, especially in the digital age, music often must come alongside a strong visual brand built around an eye-catching and memorable logo. This rule is especially relevant in the world of electronic music, as bold, captivating visuals and signature artwork are must-haves for any producer with a live show. Logos are emblazoned on merch, splashed across fan art and featured on album covers—and, if all goes well, permanently displayed on fans’ bodies as a tattoo. Have you ever connected with another audience member at an event over your mutual love for an artist? We’ll bet it was because one or both of you were sporting their logo. In shor...

Feeling generous light of the holiday season, bass music star Tisoki decided to drop a slate of unreleased music on a whim. The offering contained several remixes and festival secret weapons that the producer has been keeping close to chest, one of which fans have been hounding him about for years.

Nonetheless, what we heard left us wanting more. The biggest gem of the bunch is Tisoki’s flip of Rick Ross and Skrillex‘s “Purple Lamborghini,” a track that has eluded his most devoted fans f...

Excision Announces New Subsidia Compilation Dropping Next Week
Excision has announced the second compilation to be released on his newly minted Subsidia Records banner, Night Volume 2.
