Excision, the stage name of Jeff Abel, is a Canadian producer and DJ renowned for his heavy and aggressive style of electronic music, primarily dubstep. Hailing from British Columbia, Excision has been a significant presence in the electronic music scene since the late 2000s, pushing the boundaries of bass music with his intense sound design, massive bass lines, and immersive live shows. His performances are often characterized by high levels of production, including elaborate light shows and huge sound systems that he refers to as "The Executioner" and later "The Paradox," embodying the sheer power and futuristic themes prevalent in his music.

Beyond producing hit tracks like "Fall Apart," "Next To You," and "Bass To The Dome," Excision is a curator of the bass music community, founding the record label Rottun Recordings and later Subsidia Records. These outlets not only propel his own releases such as "Subsidia: Night Vol. 8" but also cultivate up-and-coming talents within the dubstep and bass genres. Notably, Excision is the mastermind behind the annual Lost Lands Festival, a mecca for bass music enthusiasts that showcases colossal line-ups and became the impetus for related mixes and compilations like the "Lost Lands Mix 2022" and "Lost Lands Compilation 2022." His contributions to the music industry extend beyond his creative outputs, establishing him as a pivotal figure in the ongoing evolution of bass music.
