[EXTRA NOIZE] 18+

[WHAT] Excision, still in his early 20′s, came out of Canada with an ear and a unique music taste that would allow him to be one of the most revered dubstep artist of our generation. Mixing industrial sounds with intergalactic synths is only the beginning for Excision.  Perfectly balancing metal, hip hop and electro to create an innovative dark version of the growing genre that is dubstep. Under his own label, Rottun Recordings, Excision has single handedly pushed the dubstep sound to the ears of many by putting out grimey yearly Shambala Dubstep Mixes that when played make any room feel like a machine war apocalypse. Gracing the stage before Excision will be bass heavy weights Downlink and Antiserum, both prolific in their individual crafts of mixing and insane drops. While you pre-game tonight throw on the 2010 Shambala Mix and tell me it doesn’t make you want to rage 10X harder.

For this special event the production tour team announced that they “will be adding a massive 50,000 watt PK Sound System designed specifically for Dubstep, along with a sick Intelligent Lighting, and Video rig” .

[WHAT] Homie Dave Coresh will be opening for Mac Miller’s Incredibly Dope Tour on December 10th and over here at CrowdNoize we can’t wait for him to tear it up. With a strong manager and supportive in-house studio over at Classick Studios, DC has been able to pump out some great material. The video below is the first of many ‘Good Times’ videos done by the talented videographer/director Jon Jon. Here is a blurb from Jon Jon about the project:

“This is the first installment in a series I’ve entitled “Good Times.” The basic idea is to do more than just shoot music videos with hip-hop artists. I wanted to get a story out of them and keep it simple. For my first effort I linked up with Chicago area, DC-born rhymesayer Dave Coresh (no relation to infamous Waco man Dave Koresh). DC takes time out to drop a couple of freestyle snippets and explain his amazing teeth all whilst riding the L.” – Jon Jon
