Canadian bass producer REZZ is gifting fans with a long sought-after ID, ‘Contorted’ out now via HypnoVizion. Along with this long awaited release, Rezz is reflecting on her artistic evolution over the last decade. Initially a SoundCloud-only release, ‘Contorted’ surges with the midtempo pulse that carved Rezz’s early signature and has since cultivated a cult-like fanbase. Widely recognized for its spiraling melodies, eerie textures and bone-rattling low-end, ‘Contorted’ has been reimagined with upgraded sound design that sharpens its original edge without losing its raw essence. Listen here.
Over the years, ‘Contorted’ has become a cornerstone of her live shows. The track was a centerpiece in her new audio-visual show PORTAL, which debuted to a sold-out crowd in the Bay Area last month. The show’s mesmerizing visuals synced in real-time with the track’s hypnotic rhythms, heightening its immersive atmosphere and reinforcing its legacy as a can’t-miss moment in her sets.
“This is a remake of an old song that only all the OG fans would know existed! This was a staple in my sets and never got a full release. This version is revamped and soooo much sharper! This song is part of a bigger future project but I wanted to give this to the fans asap.”

‘Contorted’ arrives ahead of Rezz’s annual return to The Brooklyn Mirage and festival appearances at EDC Las Vegas, Shamhala, Elements and more. PORTAL will make its second stop at Washington’s Tacoma Dome this September ahead of REZZ ROCKS VII at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre in October.
