REZZ

Origin: Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
Genre / Subgenres: Electronic / Midtempo bass, Dark electronic, Industrial bass


The Ukrainian-Canadian DJ was barely 21 years old when she was discovered and signed by one of the most prolific DJs in all of EDM, deadmau5, which gave her instant credibility. What caught his attention was the slow and heavy bass music, which has become her signature sound (along with her spiral LED glasses). With his co-sign, she released her first EP, The Silence is Deafening, which was just the beginning of a successful career.

Something physical happens when listening to REZZ. You can feel it in your chest, like a sense of anticipation, but an exciting one. Once the drop happens and the bass runs through your body, you'll be yearning for more. There's a minimalist approach to her sound, yet it feels aggressive, and it's addictive. One listen, and she'll have you in a hypnosis.

Performing: Saturday
Stage Prediction: Sahara
For Fans of: 1788-L, DEATHPACT, i_o
Rating: ★★★★½

Kaskade

Origin: Chicago, Illinois, USA 🇺🇸
Genre / Subgenres: Electronic / Progressive house, Deep house, Melodic house


It's been confirmed that Kaskade had one of the largest crowds at the Coachella Stage ever, just over a decade ago in 2015, and for good reason. Clearly, he's not your typical EDM DJ and has a way to move crowds physically and emotionally. Relevance is the name of the game, and he's been able to do that for the better part of two decades by evolving with the scene rather than chasing trends. By doing this, Kaskade has become one of the first DJs to successfully bridge the gap between club culture and American festival culture without compromising his roots.

What draws such massive audiences to his stages and even club appearances is his lush synths, smooth bass lines, and vocal-driven, pop melodies. He doesn't have to rely on gimmicks to get a reaction out of you, the listener. He's the guy you gravitate toward when you say, "I'm just here for the vibes."

P.S. Bonus points for having two banger electronic Christmas albums. What other DJ can claim that?

Performing: Sunday
Stage Prediction: Coachella Stage
