Biography and Career

Excision helped define the modern North American dubstep sound: chest-rattling sub-bass, midrange riffs, and cinematic drops built for arenas and fields. Starting in British Columbia’s bass scene, he launched Rottun Recordings and later Subsidia Records, a platform for rising heavy-bass artists.

Studio milestones include X Rated (2011), Codename X (2015), Virus (2016), Apex (2018), and Onyx (2022), alongside collaborations with Subtronics, Sullivan King, Dion Timmer, and more.

Offstage, Excision created high-impact events—Lost Lands in Ohio, Bass Canyon at the Gorge, and the beach weekender Paradise Blue—setting a production bar for bass culture.
