Inside Excision and Getter’s Feud
Jaci Soukhathivong — 4 months ago
Twitter explodes after Getter accuses Excision of stealing credit in his artist collaborations.
Getter woke up and chose violence when he went after dubstep megastar Excision on Twitter. In a Bass Canyon recap video, Getter replied asking Jeff Abel if he is still ripping off Space Laces. This one comment was the first shot of several fired at Excision’s career.
Tanner Petulla went on a tangent after accusing Excision of ripping off Space Laces’ “Vaultage 003” in his new track “Titans” used in the video. He went as far as to share a comparison video that played both songs back to back, and the results are undeniably similar.

When people began questioning the legitimacy of Getter’s claim he tweeted, “Space Laces is one of my best friends. For years I’ll play out his new songs, then sure enough when the song comes out is “EXCISION FEAT SPACE LACES” and nothing is changed. I’m not being a d**k and calling him out for no reason dude. It’s been ongoing.”
Getter claimed this is the case for many of his friend’s unreleased music. He claims when the tracks come out to the public, it’s alongside Excision’s name but is exactly the same when he heard it as an ID. Thus, questioning Excision’s contributions to various tracks in order to call it a “collaboration”. Getter states this is the truth for other fan-favorites like “Rumble”, “1 on 1”, “Throwing Elbows” and every song on the “DESTROID” album.
Every track I've made with Space Laces lists him as a full collab artist, not a feature. We’ve worked together for years, and he's been to my place and worked with me in my studio many times, and I’ve been to his home in Louisville to work with him. 1/6

To put this all to bed, Space Laces has never ghost produced for me. He’s been given full credit as a collaborator in every track he’s worked on. We even have more collabs on the way that I played at Bass Canyon and we are stoked to share with you all soon. 5/6

Some people believed his rant to be a publicity stunt, but Getter quickly clapped back explaining he had no reason to lie and that he was sure he will lose festival bookings for speaking up. Excision responded to the messy allegations with a long thread assuring people he rightfully accredits any artist he works with and that Space Laces has never once ghost produced for him. To top it off, Jeff also subtweeted a now deleted diss video directed at Getter.
Breaking his silence, Space Laces shared a statement on the matter. He confirmed he does not do any ghost producing, however the post goes on to say that he is frustrated by people in the scene replicating his sound. He says at times it can be flattering but that other times it feels like he is being “disregarded or taken advantage of.”

The beef has since settled down, but raises an interesting point of discussion around the monopolization and accreditation of electronic music. Who’s side are you on in this battle?
