Impact profiles raw talent that's about to turn dance music on its head. Next up: REZZ

Niagara Falls might be a city revered for a series of awe-inducing waterfalls, but more recently it's also become known as the hometown of a 21-year old force of a very different kind of nature. REZZ is the Canadian native who first began obsessing over Ableton in 2013 and, in just two years, burst past the four walls of her bedroom and out into the world with a Skrillex-approved debut in 2015.

A combination of REZZ's persistence in perfecting her craft and the world's readiness for a fresh talent as leftfield as herself has launched her into the dance music stratosphere. Already, she's been compared to the likes of Gesaffelstein and welcomed into the mau5trap family by the ever-selective boss himself, all the while blowing minds at festivals and shows all around.

Raw. Grinding. Explosive. Unapologetic. That's REZZ's sound, but underneath her aggressive sonics is a beaming personality and an eager source of creativity – all things that draw fans toward her.

Refusing to be any different than a normal 20-something, she's wildly candid and more often than not, just plain silly on her social channels. She swears by efforts to release music for free, rather than be trapped by labels because, "I want to treat all humans to a delightful first impression," as she explains in her SoundCloud bio. "I'm also obsessed with dogs."

As you can see, she shies away from try-hard press photos, instead choosing to represent herself through a caricature of her signature look: black cap, high ponytail and - when performing - her LED hypno glasses.

In the booth, REZZ leans towards sets made up of her own productions and her Impact mix is no different. Cuts off her most recent 'Something Wrong Here' EP released on Mau5trap make an appearance along with more than a handful of unreleased tunes that you won't find anywhere else.
