SLANDER, Excision, and Blanke have joined forces for a new single, “Give You Love.”
The melodic dubstep collaboration arrives through Heaven Sent, SLANDER’s own label.
It explores the emotional weight of a relationship on the verge of ending, with lyrics that express one final plea for another chance at love.
The track brings together three distinct approaches to bass music.
SLANDER’s melodic sensibilities meet Excision’s heavy sound and Blanke’s ability to move between powerful drops and emotional melodies.
The result is a production that balances vulnerability with the intensity of dubstep.
The Process Into Collaboration
“Give You Love” has been in development for nearly three years.
Early versions of the track appeared in SLANDER and Excision’s DJ sets for more than 18 months before its official release.
The production opens with soft vocals before building into powerful vocal belts.
Its arrangement gradually introduces atmospheric textures, arpeggios, and melodic bass stutters.
These elements lead into a deep dubstep drop, driven by rumbling bass and distorted synths.
The song follows the perspective of someone trying to save a relationship after a devastating breakup.
Its emotional delivery gives the heavier production a sense of vulnerability, while the final drop brings the three artists’ sounds together.
SLANDER explained that finding a common direction between their styles was one of the most rewarding parts of the collaboration.
They also acknowledged that producing a track with three producers brought its own creative challenges.
However, those challenges helped shape the final result.
The duo expressed gratitude for having the opportunity to work with two talented friends.

Excision and Blanke Bring Their Own Bass Sound
For Excision, “Give You Love” marks a reunion with SLANDER after more than five years without a release or collaboration together.
The Canadian producer said each artist brought different elements to the studio. Their individual styles came together to create something unique.
He also welcomed the opportunity to work with Blanke for the first time.

His recent appearances included Escape Halloween, Hulaween, and HEX Rawhide, with further tour dates scheduled at The Rave Milwaukee, Echoa Ridge, and Decadence.
Meanwhile, Blanke continues to explore the heavier and more melodic sides of electronic music.
Born in Australia and now based in Denver, the producer has built a sound that moves between dubstep, drum & bass, and melodic bass.
His connection with SLANDER goes back to his remix of their track “Potions,” which received support from Gryffin, Arcane, Man Cub, and Ducky.
Blanke is also currently co-headlining the Far From Home Tour with Virtual Riot.
The tour includes stops at venues such as Hollywood Palladium, San Jose Civic Center, Echostage, Rebel, The Ave, Concord Music Hall, The Complex, Silo Dallas, The Vanguard, Brooklyn Steel Yard, and Royale.
Blanke shared his excitement about finally bringing “Give You Love” to listeners.

The producer was pleased to present this collaboration with Excision and hoped fans would enjoy the result.
With three established names in bass music behind it, “Give You Love” brings together melodic storytelling and heavy production.
