No cheese, no anthems, just relentless, hard bass music; this is what you can expect from Excision's new Destroid album The Invasion . This side project is a live band that involves his friends Downlink and KJ Sawka , and after hearing this beastly LP, we can't wait to see them perform live! The Invasion starts off with a few brilliant tracks co-produced with Spaces Laces, the first of which is inaugural single Raise Your Fist . [...]
Destroid is the dubstep equivalent of GWAR. Comprised by hyperbass producers Excision and Downlink with support on drums from KJ Sawka (formerly of Pendulum), the project has put much greater emphasis on their backstory and attire than their tunes. The Megatron-esque voice of "Raise Your Fist", the lead track on their aptly-titled debut LP, The Invasion, describes their GWAR-meets- Transformers creation myth. Adding limited substance to a lyric-less album, aside from explaining why it's littered with the amplified commotion of a NASCAR garage, the members of Destroid have come to Earth to save us from our leaders. And then possibly leave Earth a [...]
You can feel the change in the air can’t you? Summer is on the way. Your body gets that tingling feeling, your bright colored tees and crazy pattern shorts that you have kept perfectly folded in your closet are dying to come back out. The glitter, the sequins, the glow sticks and all those fuzzy animal hats are ready to make their first appearance of the summer. And for all of us in Colorado, it is essential to start the summer concert series out on a good note, for example, heading up to the one and only [...]
It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I must inform you of the impending demise of Wobble Wednesday . In the midst of a change in the music scene, we have decided that Wobble Wednesday no longer fits the direction we would like to go. That is not to say, however, that the filth and darkness of both American dubstep and UK dubstep will stop. Rather, WW will merge with the Weekly Flavours column for a more genre-focused list each week. For the uninitiated, Weekly Flavours is a post dedicated to a certain [...]
When Excision released his 2012 Shambhala mix to the world, he also let everyone in on one of the biggest secrets in bass music. That day we learned of the bass music super group of Excision, Downlink and KJ Sawka known as Destroid. The marketing and promotion for Destroid has been pretty impressive as [...]
In a magnificent attempt to rebrand, think outside the box and try something completely new and different, bass heads and electronic musicians collide to form the greatest thing since perhaps Atoms For Peace. Made up of Canadian legend bass music creators Excision and Downlink and one other, the new group takes the name DESTROID , a fitting name given the genre mash and obliteration of our sound system. However it is the third group member that makes this newly found glory so very special. KJ Swaka of the infamous Pendulum has joined hands with the [...]
![Destroid – The Invasion [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4936131_lg.jpg)
We first got a taste of Destroid last year with the track Raise Your Fist. It was a stellar piece of Drumstep, but to be honest it didn't sound so different from Excision's solo stuff. Why would he make a new project? The months following the initial three singles we got some new info about what Destroid really was, a live electronic band. KJ Sawka, Downlink, and Excision himself are poised to change live electronic music. With that introduction out of the way lets get down to the music! The Invasion is a HEAVY album that never slows down. [...]
[Ta-ku] We first heard Mt Eden ’s anthem “Sierra Leone” back in 2010- a time when some of our favorite shows to attend were those of Datsik , Excision , and B. Rich (who now goes by Kastle ). Since then, our personal preferences have clearly shifted. However, yesterday, we received a welcome dose of nostalgia when we learned that Mt Eden was finally releasing “Sierra Leone” (officially) alongside a handful of remixes courtesy of araabMUZIK , Ta-ku , Tommie Sunshine , and Live [...]
Last week TomorrowWorld announced Alesso , Axwell , and Sebastian Ingrosso would all be performing at its inaugural festival and today ID&T has announced a brand new stage catered to fans who like a little more bass in their face.

If bass isn't quite your thing, stay tuned [...]

At the beginning of this year, Excision embarked on a tour along with Vaski and Paper Diamond. The tour was notable for two reasons: Firstly, it featured a brand new "Executioner" stage. Secondly, Excision sported a custom made 100,000 watt bass sound system from PK Sound. That's not a typo and you read that right, 100,000. This past Thursday night, Excision brought these tools of devastation along with him and conquered Best Buy Theater. After the doors opened at 10 PM Vaski took to the stage. As one of the artists signed to Excision's Rottun [...]

Heavy bass music was redefined last Saturday night at LA's Club Nokia when Excision brought his enormous Executioner stage and a 100,000 watt PK Sound system to town. The crowd was full of diehard bassheads wearing his t-shirts and standing proudly before the veiled behemoth in the theater. Opening for Excision were a couple of his friends Vaski and Paper Diamond . Both of these DJs had outstanding sets that included a generous helping of trap tracks like Candyland's OG remix of Sandstorm by Darude and Turnup [...]
