Yeah but he composes as does Skrillex who also is a world renowned producer. I see no similarities between Rezz and Skrillex and probably even less between her and Bassnectar. I’m talking the music and the shows. I know she doesn’t play the same stuff as Deadmau5. They cross at rave, but where he goes more say toward techno usually, she’s more trance with some bassy stuff thrown in though not at all like a bass heavy act as Space Jesus who I also would take 100 of 100 vs Rezz. I hope you know I’m not at all bagging on you because you like her. That’s fine for anyone. I just don’t get the music, scene or hype around her. I’ve stopped in on some sets and while it’s not gratingly annoying or anything, I just don’t see anything to it. It’s repetativr, trancey (and I certainly don’t hate all trance) and occasionally builds up for changes but is kind of like just there. I know she inspires some younger fans and especially girls, and I respect that.

Deadmau5 is, for the most part, house music, whereas I would definitely disagree with your assessment that Rezz is disimilar to BN or Space Jesus as heavy bass music. Her newer stuff has break beats and stuff, but I wouldn't say she is trance. Usually those are interludes leading up to big bass drops. BN does that stuff a lot too.
I was listening to some Rezz after my post earlier, and Space Jesus came on the Spotify radio after. I think all three of those are pretty close to each other.
I don't take any offense to what you're saying. It's not some of my favorite stuff. I hardly listen to much bass music like that anymore, but I did for long enough to appreciate Rezz's music. It has a little bit of a unique character to it. I also saw her open for deadmau5 at an ACL after show in 2015, and I've kind of rooted for her since then. She mixed in Marilyn Manson and shit. She's a different cat imo.
Yeah, I’ve heard her mix in some Manson. We are gonna have to disagree on the comparisons though I agree she has evolved the last 2-3 years and gotten a bit harder. I’ve seen Space Jesus live probably 5 times, Bassnectar Live probably 8 and Skrillex live maybe 6 (Rezz parts of 3 I think). I don’t even think any of those 3 are that similar maybe Space Jesus sort of crosses Bassnectar, but Bassnectar is his own world imho. Also best 2 times I’ve see him were this year so I’m happy about that.
While we are on EDM, ACL is kind of light on that for me. I’d like to see Justice, but that feels unlikely unless they are staggered between Deftones and Metallica. I’ll probably pass by San Holo. I’ve see him play some crazy shows as well as house pop. Odesza will be a no go based on the likely conflict with Paul McCartney. Idk. Maybe there are some acts in the lower lines I’ll run across when the schedule comes out.
Bonnaroo just grabs weird edm at this point. Wish they'd follow the Lolla model cause they usually have some decent acts sprinkled out, but I think this one is more designed to feature various country/rock/folk in its place. It works given the setting.

ODESZA, Justice, Illenium, Rezz, San Holo, Gryffin, Sofi Tukker.. Yeah it's kinda light across 4 days, the times were a DJ was almost a necessity on the top line is filled in with a hip hop act nowadays. Only live acts seem to have kept somewhat their relevance on line ups. San Holo is also trying become a live act I think with him playing a few tracks on electric guitar in his sets.
Rezz's sets always used to be the same when she started out and I think that's still somewhat the case. I don't think she's a very skilled DJ but she's getting better, I guess. Maybe it's also because of the visuals she recently started using more and more that they've got to sync up and everything but idk. Skrillex and mau5 are madmen compared to her. Also Rezz is in no way "trance", not even hard trance or whatever.

I haven’t listened to much Rezz. The crowd was going wild during her daytime set at Day For Night and I stayed for a good portion of it. It was energetic and a fun time. Lots of womps, but not much of that laser sound that grinds on me like Skrillex has. Barring conflict, I’ll catch some of her again at ACL.

I guess it’s the wrong term. I didn’t mean anything like Infected Mushroom or even some old Tiesto. It was the repetitive nature of what she was doing. Too many sub and sub sub genres and many have changed over time. Oddly enough, riding into Pensacola last night, my friend made me listen to new Rezz for a while (day old album or something) and I wouldn’t have guessed it was her. I didn’t think it was great or anything, but if it was all I knew about her, I’d probably have penciled it in as a pass by set. It didn’t sound like anything I’ve seen her play live.
Fuzzy you tried to pry me away from The Album Leaf Which wasn’t happening. I think I passed by for a couple minutes on the left side on the back way to a few minutes of Rabit x House of Kezno.
Saw them at Fortress Festival last year, they were a load of fun. Would be very excited if the packed Friday schedule lined up just right so I could see their ritual performance again.
Really just hope Brockhampton and Byrne don’t conflict. That was the the case on a Clashfinder I saw ay least. The little one is not prepared for an after show so that’s not an option. Want to catch Macca, Byrne, Jungle, and Brockhampton in full. Was hoping Jungle and Brock would be late afternoon/early evening.
F - Paul, National, Hozier, Byrne, FJM, Brockhampton, Lily Allen, Jungle, Noname, Alvvays, Golden Dawn, Ravyn Lenae, Big Theif, Reignwolf, Natalie Prass, Arkells, Nicole Atkins (National/Byrne are maybes, just saw them at Shaky, depends on who they conflict with. if i had to pick one to see again it would be Byrne.)
S - Metallica, Justice, St. V, Brandi Carlile, Blood Orange, Rhye, Japanese Breakfast, Curtis Harding, Lo Moon (If Disturbed opens for Metallica I might just sit through that, this could turn out to the least happening day quick with scheduling. Saw Breeders in may as well, so i'll probably end up skipping on that.)
S - Gambino, Monae, Shakey, The Revolution, Parquet, Bahamas, Moses Sumney, Amen Dunes (Chill day for sure, but if I can see all these definitely a nice run.)
Definitely need to dig a little deeper, could see myself ending up at Shawn Mendes Sun. just because the day isn't very robust.
Friday: Mikky Ekko > Lewis Capaldi > Gangs of Youth > Ravyn Lenae/Golden Dawn Arkestra > Jungly/Sir Sly/Alvvays > Greta (need to see what the hype is about) > Byrne > National > Paul
Saturday: Sweet Spirit > Alice Merton > Japanese Breakfast > Sofi Tukker > Blood Orange > St Vincent > Justice > Chvrches > Metallica
Can confirm Brockhampton will do an aftershow at Stubbs on 10.6
I wish it wasn't at Stubb's. I like it as a venue, but they have a curfew due to it being outdoors. Because of that, catching all of Metallica and then making it over to that part of downtown in time for the start of BH wouldn't be a guarantee. And tickets will probably be around $30. Would be perfect had they been booked some place indoors.

showing up late to stubbs also sucks, and id imagine the line to get in is going to be awful starting at like 7.
