Three major names in electronic music have come together for a collaboration that brings emotional storytelling and heavyweight bass production into the same space. SLANDER, Excision, and Blanke have officially released “Give You Love,” a new melodic dubstep single arriving through SLANDER’s Heaven Sent label. The track explores the desperation of wanting to repair a relationship after everything has fallen apart, capturing the feeling of asking someone for one final chance before letting go for good.
The collaboration has been years in the making, with early versions finding their way into SLANDER and Excision’s live sets long before its official release. Having spent years sharing festival lineups and crossing paths throughout the bass music world, the three producers finally brought their individual approaches together to create something that balances vulnerable songwriting with an enormous electronic sound.
“Give You Love” opens with an emotionally driven vocal performance, moving between delicate melodies and powerful vocal delivery. As the production develops, atmospheric layers and shimmering arpeggios gradually build tension before giving way to a hard-hitting dubstep drop filled with distorted bass, rumbling synths, and the signature intensity listeners would expect from this combination. The contrast between its softer passages and heavier moments gives the track an emotional push and pull that mirrors the relationship at the center of its story.
Each producer brings a distinct identity to the collaboration. Los Angeles duo SLANDER have spent the past decade establishing themselves as influential figures in electronic music, earning multi-platinum success and Grammy recognition while moving between melodic bass, dubstep, and crossover dance music. Their ability to pair emotionally charged vocals with festival-sized production has become a defining part of their sound.
Excision, meanwhile, remains one of bass music’s most recognizable innovators. The British Columbia-based producer has built an extensive catalog while helping shape the live bass music experience through major events and festivals, including Lost Lands and Bass Canyon. Australian-born, Denver-based producer Blanke adds another dimension to the record, bringing his ability to move between aggressive dubstep, drum and bass, and melodic electronic production.
For SLANDER, bringing three different creative perspectives into one record made the process especially rewarding. The duo explained that collaborations involving multiple producers often require additional creative adjustments, but those challenges can ultimately push everyone involved toward something stronger. They also expressed their appreciation for being able to create alongside two artists they consider talented friends.
Excision echoed that excitement, describing the project as an opportunity for all three producers to contribute something different. The release also marks his reunion with SLANDER after more than five years without a collaboration, while giving him his first opportunity to work alongside Blanke.
Blanke shared similar enthusiasm, calling the experience an exciting opportunity to collaborate with two artists who have been major influences within the electronic music scene. After exploring several collaborative ideas with SLANDER over the past few years, finally bringing “Give You Love” to life alongside Excision made the release particularly meaningful.
The new single also arrives during an active period for all three artists. SLANDER recently unveiled their StarDisc release, featuring “Lead the Way,” “Booster Ignition,” “Under My Skin,” and “Do You Feel Loved,” with the latter two tracks generating millions of streams. The duo are continuing their Voyager Tour while preparing for appearances at EDC Orlando, Freaky Deaky, Decadence, and Give Thanks, alongside headline performances at Revel and The Vanguard.
Excision has also been keeping busy following the latest editions of Lost Lands and Bass Canyon. His recent performance history includes Escape Halloween, Hulaween, and HEX Rawhide, with additional appearances scheduled at The Rave Milwaukee and Decadence. His recent back-to-back performance with SLANDER at Bass Canyon marked their first B2B set together in seven years.
Blanke, who previously reworked SLANDER’s “Potions,” has also been making moves with his Far From Home co-headlining tour alongside Virtual Riot. The extensive run includes stops at major venues across North America, including Hollywood Palladium, Echostage, The Complex, and Brooklyn Steel Yard.
With three distinct production styles meeting on one record, “Give You Love” delivers a combination of melodic vulnerability and full-force bass energy. It’s a collaboration built on years of creative connections, bringing together three artists who understand how to make electronic music hit both emotionally and physically.
