When we found this vocal, it really resonated with both of us, as we’ve spent so much time away from our loved ones and our homes. Seeing how far he has come in both his career and in his musical ability has been a blast to watch. Seeing someone with such a strong work ethic at that young of an age was very inspirational for me, and we’ve both been pushing each other ever since. For an instrumental track, I’m definitely happy with how it rides that roller coaster.ĭion and I have been writing together since early 2014 when he was only 14 years old (now 19). From there, I focused on building the emotion from the sad sounding intro into a heavy release of frustration and anger. For this one, it was a bit of a rough day and was actually my first attempt at making “Wake Up.” I was happy with how "Fall" was coming, but wasn’t quite able get the message across without lyrics, so I broke this one off into its own track. People ask about my writing process all the time wondering how I approach my music. I’m really proud of how it came out, and the reaction to it has really carried. It definitely turned out to be one of my favorite tunes on the whole album. I find that when you capture the emotion quickly and “ride the wave" the lyrics take you to, the track is a lot more cohesive and meaningful. I was stoked when we cranked out the vast majority of this song in a few days. Luckily, we were able to figure everything out. The writing aspect was awesome, though, and working with Nick (Illenium) was something fresh and really effortless. Getting the vocal licensing contracts signed for this one almost led to this track never seeing the light of day. There are so many things the world doesn’t see behind the scenes lots of different people involved and all the industry stuff that can sometimes hold things back. This project was a monster to make happen. The animation we have for this one is amazing and always makes the crowd pull their phones out to film (which is still weird to me, seeing a sea of phones appear mid-set).Įxcision & Illenium - "Gold (Stupid Love)" Feat.
(It was) made in late 2016 to use as an opener on the 2017 tour. This one went unreleased for a while, by far the oldest track on the album. Sullivan King is one of the strongest, influential new names in bass music, and we’ve both been making metal-influenced tracks since we started. I was stoked to have someone that can shred and sing like he can in the studio. I’ve had a lot of awesome feedback from fans saying they really felt the track and that it helped them, so I couldn’t be happier with how things turned out. We went through probably 50 versions of the lyrics before we were happy with them, and I made him redo the guitar parts so many times, I think I was driving him crazy by the end of it, haha. To me, that meant building a song that starts off extremely slow, captures all of those emotions building throughout the song, and going from a ballad to one of the heaviest drops possible. I reached out to Keaton (Sullivan King) with the concept, and he loved it right off the bat. In the process, I wanted to help give the fans a direction for the frustration and to be able to release it on the floor. I wanted to write a track to help fans through tough times, and let them know that we still struggle with all of the same things they do. We knew the bar was set high from our previous success with "Throwin' Elbows," and we are really stoked with the reaction this one received. His sound design is from another planet, so when we put our heads together, we really try to push some boundaries and explore what else we can do. It’s really fun to work with people that you have spent a lot of time in the studio with. You can purchase tickets for the shows HERE.Ian (Space Laces) and I have worked together on a ton of tunes. I was very disappointed when I couldn’t make it to the 2016 installment of this tour, but I will do anything to make it to that Los Angeles date at the Hollywood Palladium! If you’re a fan of bass music you have to check out this show. An advertised 150,000 watts of PK Sound and his stage, ‘ The Paradox Tour‘ is supposed to be surreal.
Further the production is absolutely insane. The tour begins in January and spans all the way to March. Along with Excision is bass music’s finest – Barely Alive, Dion Timmer and Cookie Monsta are all set as openers for the tour. Here he is again announcing a re-up of his Paradox Tour for 2017 and by the looks of it he’s about to hit just about every major city in the US. The guy just released a huge 16-track album and recently finished with his critically acclaimed Paradox tour in 2016. Excision is back on The Paradox Tour again with some massive dates for 2017.Įxcision never sleeps.
