Canadian DJ and producer Jeff Abel combines hip-hop, bass music, dub and a bit of rock influence in his Excision project. Since 2004, Abel has been tinkering with various electronic styles, ultimately settling comfortably into simplistic 2-step rhythms and reverberated dubstep-esque bass blasts. Refusing to adhere to a often tranquil sonic state, Abel employs hard-hitting bass tones, propulsive drum patterns and jarring, sci-fi sounds to make his music more aggressive than a lot of his contemporaries.
