Electronic music doesn’t stand still—and neither does Rezz. The Canadian producer and DJ has built a cult-like following off her hypnotic midtempo bass, cinematic visuals, and genre-bending approach. Now, in 2025, she raises the stakes with her highly anticipated fifth studio album, As The Pendulum Swings, released via her own label HypnoVizion.
This Rezz project is a definitive statement that blends nostalgia with forward-thinking sound design, offering fans a glimpse into the future of industrial techno, slow techno, and midtempo bass music.
As The Pendulum Swings is darker, sharper, and more intentional than anything she’s dropped before—yet it still carries the hypnotic energy that first made “Space Mom” a household name in electronic music culture.
Rezz’s Hypnotic Sound Evolves
From the very first track, As The Pendulum Swings pulls listeners into Rezz’s unique sonic universe. Known for her signature midtempo rhythms and hypnotic basslines, this album expands her range by fusing industrial influences, electro grit, and cinematic textures.
Songs like “Running From Reality” and “Delirium” showcase her growth as a sound designer. They feel futuristic yet grounded, tapping into the same hypnotic intensity that powers her live sets.
Meanwhile, early demos like “Contorted” and “Telepathy” have been reimagined for 2025, giving fans a nostalgic reminder of where her sound began—revamped with the maturity of a 30-year-old artist who’s seen it all and still pushes forward.
Rezz herself describes the project as the clearest reflection of who she is today:
“As The Pendulum Swings is a more mature version of my project. It reflects where I am in life as a 30 year old. I feel I have the clearest vision and desires and musically, this album plays a major role in that. It feels nostalgic but also new. It really showcases the type of music I’m currently influenced by, which feels great to say. I feel like I’ve evolved in the quality of the songs, and the direction is very specific. It capitalizes on industrial/slow techno elements.” – Rezz
Collaborations that Stretch Across the Globe
Rezz has always been about more than solo work—she curates collaborations like a conductor assembling an orchestra of chaos.
On As The Pendulum Swings, she links with artists from across the globe, building a sonic bridge between scenes and cultures.
- Dillon Francis and BRVMES bring high-energy electro vibes on “HOW I DO IT.”
- Canadian duo Chuurch joins her for the revitalized “Telepathy.”
- Owl Vision, a Swedish producer with roots in dark electro, brings weight to “Downward.”
- CABLE, out of New Orleans, joins for “Glass Veins.”
- Previous collaborators k?d, EDDIE, fknsyd, and isqa return to solidify the HypnoVizion family sound.
Each feature feels intentional, not forced. The result is an album that flows like a curated festival lineup, with every artist bringing their own world into Rezz’s orbit.
Industrial Techno Meets Midtempo Bass
One of the standout elements of As The Pendulum Swings is how it balances industrial techno with midtempo bass. This duality has long been hinted at in Rezz’s sets, but here it takes center stage. Tracks grind and pulse with mechanical intensity, yet remain hypnotic enough to soundtrack both headphones and massive warehouse raves.
Fans of slow techno will find plenty to love here, while day-one Rezz supporters will recognize the midtempo basslines that first put her on the map. It’s an album that swings—literally—between genres, eras, and energy levels.
HypnoVizion: A Platform for the Future
Rezz launched HypnoVizion to not only release her own music but to cultivate a culture around her sound. With As The Pendulum Swings, the label cements its identity as a home for forward-thinking electronic music.
Bringing in artists like EDDIE, isqa, and fknsyd proves the imprint is about more than just Rezz’s catalog—it’s a global hub for experimental bass, electro, and techno hybrids. Expect HypnoVizion to continue shaping underground and mainstream conversations in equal measure.
The Visual World of As The Pendulum Swings
The album isn’t limited to audio. Rezz has always treated her projects as full experiences, weaving visual aesthetics, stage design, and album art into the sonic narrative.
Drawing inspiration from her groundbreaking PORTAL show, she extends the same immersive energy here. The visuals, from eerie pendulum imagery to dark industrial stage setups, sync perfectly with the hypnotic audio landscapes. Whether you’re watching Rezz headline Red Rocks Amphitheatre or catching her on a livestream, the audiovisual connection is undeniable.
Rezz on Tour: From Tacoma Dome to REZZ ROCKS
Alongside the album drop, Rezz has revealed a headline tour for early 2026. The run includes five exclusive dates in Brooklyn, Boston, Detroit, Houston, and St. Louis. Each city has deep roots in electronic culture, making them perfect backdrops for the immersive As The Pendulum Swings experience.
Before the tour officially kicks off, Rezz will head to Washington’s Tacoma Dome for her highly anticipated PORTAL show, making history as the venue’s first female electronic headliner. From there, she returns to Colorado for her seventh annual REZZ ROCKS at Red Rocks Amphitheatre—a show that has become a bucket-list event for fans worldwide.
