With influences stemming from the likes of English electronic band The Prodigy, Abel dropped out of university in 2005 to pursue his passion for production fascinated by the lack of electronic music in his homeland of Canada. Spending up to 12 hours a day perfecting his craft through online tutorials, Abel adopted the stage name Excision.
In 2005 Abel founded the bass record label Rottun Recordings addressing the apparent lack of an EDM scene in Canada. It was with his label where he would release early material in the form of the “Rottun 2007” mixtape featuring producers such as Noiz, Stenchman and Ultrablack. The following year Excision released his first official single “No Escape” and the same year Abel launched his annual “Shambhala” mixtape.
Releasing his debut EP “Boom EP” in 2009 saw Excision collaborate with fellow producers Flux Pavilion and Datsik featuring the tracks “Boom” and “Calypso” as he rapidly began making a name for himself on the scene. Subsequent EP releases would see him team up with the likes of The SubDivision, Liquid Stranger, Downlink and Bassnectar before embarking upon US tours and bringing forth his memorable stage shows.
In 2011 Excision released his debut full length “X-rated” featuring the tracks “The Underground”, “Execute” and “8 Bit Superhero. 2012 proved a busy year in the Excision camp as he launched dubstep and bass label Destroid Music alongside Downlink and KJ Sawka while also introducing his new range of 250,000 watt sound system at the Boomfest showcase in Colorado, US.
With the release of his second album “Codename X” in 2015, Excision had firmly secured his place as the forerunner in Canadian EDM as he helped inject life into the practically non-existent electronic dance scene in his home territory, influencing the likes of Downlink and Datsik, some of Canada’s finest electronic exports. Making his stamp with his trippy animated live visuals and playing to as many as 20,000 audience members, Excision creates an effervescent and electrifying atmosphere, captivating crowds across the globe.

I have seen Excision multiple time at the BlueStone and several other Venue's, but this show definitely proved that he's getting more and more well known. The amount of people PACKED in to the BlueStone seemed like a freaking fire hazard and well over the amount of people that the BlueStone has capacity for. Because of this, nobody could move!
If someone did move, they were tripping over and shoving their way through people which caused a lot of tension between the patrons. I LOVE seeing Excision and LOVE the BlueStone. In fact my fiancé and I are set to be married there in late 2016.
However because of this last experience with Ex at the BlueStone, I highly doubt I will see him there again. I hate to say this, but it was really that bad. Maybe VIP would have been better, but the experience and sound just isn't the same way up there on the balcony as it is, floor level.
I wish Excision would play at a larger venue not only for the occupancy, but so he could really crank up his watts! There's only so much that the BlueStone can handle and now with Excision being as popular as he is, the BlueStobe is just not a good place for him anymore.
Ticket prices are great there and that's a huge deal to not only the guests, but for the artists. I know Jeff wants to keep his shows affordable and he even said "no DJ should ever charge more than $35 a ticket"
If he were to play at a bigger venue like the LC, not only would ticket prices go up, but the security and staff can be total jerks.
I'd love to see him there, but the LC won't let you in if you have an Ecig or even a OPEN PACK of cigs. Its totally rediculous there. I had to hide a couple hundred dollars worth of ecig stuff behind a bush across the street before they would let me in to see BassNectar. I'm sure they would charge him an arm and a leg to play there, but he'd sell it out, people could actually walk around and past each other without starting a fight or argument. I'd pay more to see him if I knew the venue could crank him to his full potential and would stick with their occupancy code.
Excision. Jeff. Please come back to Columbus Ohio. We love you and will pay a higher fee for a better experience! Thanks =)

Even if you're not a fan of Excision's flavor of EDM, you owe it to yourself to see a fully set up Excision show: it's a great demonstration of how much presentation tech can be set up in a short time and a small place.
As usual, Excision put on a great show ...in spite of a not great venue. Seriously:
- you host winter time dance events and don't have a coat check? That's ok for Vegas or LA, not so much for any city on the Acela corridor
- if I'm at the rail, I shouldn't be nearly 20 feet from the DJ
- if I'm at the rail, my ears should be getting blown out ...bit that's a bit hard when the speaker arrays are mounted 40' straight up
- the claimed capacity is 3500 people, but the dance area is "considerably* smaller than that
- several other annoyances that makes this venue a no-go for further shows (makes me really appreciate how well Echostage is set up and operated)
Squanto was decent, though might have been a better opening act for January's Herobust show.
Sullivan King... He's ok, but feels like the EDM version of nu-metal. Any time I hear him, I can't help but think "had Korn started a decade or so later, they'd be indistinguishable from Sullivan King"
Sellecting more appropriate opening acts for Excision is probably not an easy task.

Jeff Abel, better known by his stage name Excision, is a Canadian dub step producer and DJ who is known for having one of the loudest shows on the circuit. A frequent collaborator with fellow Canadian artist Datsik, the pair have been making waves from their native homeland. Now climbing further and further up festival lineups, Excision knows how to turn a show into an experience.
Beginning with a bass heavy 'Crowd Control' supported by a mass of lights, the audience jump in unison and Abel approaches his decks and begins. His setlist is taken from his debut album and a whole selection of EPs as well as music by some of his favourite artists assured to make the crowd go wild.
When he drops 'First Of The Year' by Skrillex the whole tent goes insane and screams and cheers as the accomplished artist goes about mixing his music. He fades the track into 'Must Be The Feeling' and keeps the crowd dancing along with the bass-heavy dub. You can see why he is an artist on the rise, the live show is slick and effortless.

The doors opened at 8pm, which seemed a little late to get started especially on a week day. With the line rapping around the block, by the time everyone got in the first opener had already started. In my opinion he wasn't very good. I liked the second opener because he incorporated EDM style into his dubstep. The third played to heavy of debstep it didnt sound as good as it could have in my opinion. Excision was great, but the mosh pits hurt. Although they were necessary to move up in the crowd. I liked the paneled screen behind and covering his podium. But in the end this concert ended around 1am. Too late for a school night as most of the people there looked like high schoolers.

Absolutely SICK! Excision is one of my favorites, and I was so stoked when I heard he was coming to Buffalo. Made sure to get my ticket ASAP, because (just as I knew it would) this show sold out. The visuals were absolutely wild and off the hook, I couldn't get enough! He dropped some of my faves - ROBO KITTY!!! - and I jammed out all night. Can't wait to see him again!

SEE EXCISION. If you like dubstep. If you like rude bass. If you like amazing sound systems and loud dub, then go. I have seen Excision twice and he made me go crazy each time. He can throw down a show. He is a beast DJ. He always plays his best stuff which is bomb. You will not be disappointed. Be prepared to dance. Enjoy.

I can't find the words to describe the experience. It was amazing, mind-blowing, breath-taking! This was my first Dubstep show and was amazed. The moment that the curtain dropped and the bass hit me... Speachless! Felt all the bass rush through my body (even my pants were shaking.) Loved it!
