DMb | Dance Music blog & Podcast

Excision currently holds the records over here at DMb for the most downloaded podcast, so we figured there’s bound to be some readers who would love to get a hold of some remix stems and possibly get your own record on his Rottun label. All genres welcome though I highly doubt you’ll see a Progressive Trance track winning this contest. Download links below.

From Excision:

In case you didn’t notice yet, there are no basses or drums provided in the stems. This is because we want you to show us your synthesis skills and your ability to make a proper track without having
everything handed to you.

In order to get noticed we recommend you spend the majority of your time inside the synthesizer of your choice to produce all of the sounds in the remix to the best of your ability. We’d rather you send
in something a month after the contest is over than send something you aren’t 100% confident in. Feel free to take this remix to another genre, or combine genres. We are open to hearing anything from
literally any genre. Drum and Bass to Electro House, Dubstep, Drumstep, chilled out music or any tempo you want. You have over a month to complete this remix, so experiment and have fun with it.

Do NOT make your submission down-loadable or listenable to the general public. (This is for promotional purposes if you win) Please submit privately via Soundcloud to the Excision Soundcloud account.

The winning remix will be released on Rottun Recordings, and we’ll probably ask you to do an EP for us as well. Do not be discouraged if your best friend has just completed the best remix known to man, we
may release two remixes or we may sign an artist for a future EP based on their submission regardless of them being the winner or not!

Deadline: February 1st, 2011

Excision’s “Shambhala 2009″ mix is coming down the pipes for you this week to feed your Dubstep and Drum & Bass fix. Be sure to drop by his label Rottun Recordings and get some more free DJ Mixes and his MySpace page for tour dates.

Taking influence from Drum and Bass, Metal, and Hip Hop, Excision is a Dubstep artist who must be heard to be fully believed. Combining the morphing bass lines of Drum and Bass, the aggressive energy of Metal, and the laid back vibes of hip hop, Excision’s style is incomparable.

At only 22, this young Canadian’s passion for music has already driven him to become one of the biggest Dubstep acts of North America. Anyone who has heard a set by this bad boy has walked away feeling energized and refreshed. If you’re lucky enough to catch a live set, expect an assault of bass-heavy tracks, mixed quickly and seamlessly.

Enjoy!
