When titans of bass like Excision and Wooli join forces, expectations are naturally sky-high. Their 2019 "Evolution" EP doesn’t shy away from its own ambitions, it’s loud, aggressive, and unapologetically geared toward peak-time festival chaos.

Excision and Wooli bring an EP that is filled with super loud and energetic basses and wubs, well at least for about half of it. The other half is some pretty lazy and redundant basses and wubs that aren’t too interesting overall. There is a crazy amount of energy on this thing though and I have to give it credit for being original from most other dubstep EPs, but compared to the rest of Excision and Wooli’s catalogs, it isn’t anything too special.

i honestly feel like excision has been doing the exact same thing for years and despite getting more talented with his production, he’s somehow regressed intensely. just goes to show that in order to keep being a legend in the dubstep scene you have to keep changing up the formula, or its just not going to work anymore.
