Excision tickets

Excision is one of the founding fathers of Canada's dubstep scene, known for his beefy bass lines and fast, furious rhythms. The Kelowna, British Columbia-born DJ and producer -- real name Jeff Abel -- fuses snares and 2-step beats to create a rich tapestry of sounds. Excision tickets are popular with dance music fans who want an energetic, euphoric live experience.

Excision's background

Excision didn't always want to be a superstar DJ. As a child, he dreamed of becoming a paleontologist. At some point, he changed his mind and forged a career in the world of electronic music.

In 2007, Excision released his debut single, "No Escape," on his label, Rottun Recordings. Influenced by a broad range of genres -- metal, electro, drum and bass, etc. -- his music has now become the soundtrack for bassheads worldwide. Thumping, throbbing beats are his signature.

The DJ is also famous for his live shows, which feature state-of-the-art sound and lights. In 2012, he started the "X Tour" alongside fellow musicians Liquid Stranger and Lucky Date. At the 2013 Boom Festival, Excision revealed a 250,00-watt sound system. This new technology made his live sets the hottest ticket in town. Excision also has creative control over the visuals at his shows.

Excision's history
