With a massive fanbase known as ‘The Cult of REZZ,’ consisting of millions across social media and DSPs, and the backing of giants like Billie Eilish, Skrillex, and deadmau5, REZZ has become a dominant force in the electronic music scene and beyond. REZZ’s ability to sell out iconic venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre, where last month she held her annual ‘REZZ Rocks,’ and The Brooklyn Mirage, is a testament to her dedicated following and power to captivate massive audiences. Her collaborations with deadmau5 as REZZMAU5, including “Infraliminal” and “Hypnocurrency,” and their spellbinding live performances at Tomorrowland, HARD Summer, and VELD Music Festival, have further solidified her influential status. The headline act has expanded her musicality across different genres beyond her signature midtempo soundscapes, and was one of the pioneers to bridge the gap between rock and electronic. She’s collaborated with celebrated names including Grabbitz on their smash hit “Someone Else,” that reached #15 on Alt Radio in the US and #1 in Canada, Phantogram, PVRIS, Dove Cameron, Subtronics, and more, showcasing her versatility to connect with a broader audience.
With over a decade of influence in the scene, Virtual Riot has consistently pushed the boundaries of dubstep and bass music. Known for his innovative production style, unforgettable live performances, and commitment to education, Virtual Riot has cemented his position as a leading figure. His meticulous sound design has opened doors to collaborations with industry titans, including Skrillex and Swae Lee on “Mixed Signals,” which peaked #6 on Billboard’s Top Dance and Electronic Albums, as well as Justin Bieber on his Grammy-nominated record “2 Much.” His work has also secured major placements in television, notably in Disney+’s Star Wars: The Mandalorian. On the touring side, Virtual Riot is an in-demand act, headlining and selling-out renowned venues including The Hollywood Palladium, playing major festivals like EDC Las Vegas, Tomorrowland, Rampage Open Air, Parookaville, Lost Lands, and more. Virtual Riot’s production tutorials on YouTube and Patreon and monumental sample packs on Splice, which have been downloaded over 5 million times, have helped countless aspiring producers and artists develop their skills. This dedication and mentorship to fostering the next generation of producers has further developed his legacy.
“Give in to you” is a haunting blend of REZZ’s signature midtempo soundscapes, Virtual Riot’s heavy-hitting bass prowess, and One True God’s emotive vocals. The addictive bassline with lyrics that evoke the allure of surrendering to love make it an irresistible anthem for music fans everywhere. The moment REZZ dropped a teaser of the collaboration with Virtual Riot and One True God, their fanbases ignited a wildfire of excitement and anticipation. Fans took to TikTok, X, Instagram, and YouTube in a frenzy, buzzing as speculation and demand for the release reached an ultimate high.
REZZ shares, “Virtual Riot and I met up at deadmau5’s house and we worked on a song together. I then hit up One True God and he smashed the vocal! Really happy with how this song turned out. Virtual Riot was super fun to work with especially as he’s such a genius with mixing/mastering.”
Virtual Riot adds, “In life people often choose what’s familiar to them over what’s actually good for them. There is safety in the familiarity of something, even if it might be bad for you, and this was the emotional headspace for writing the track. This was all before Alan (One True God) joined in on the track and after he had already written the lyrics and recorded the vocal, he asked us about the background story of the instrumental. We were completely floored that he absolutely nailed the emotion and feeling the instrumental was aiming for without knowing any of this.”
Fans can hear “Give in to you” live from Virtual Riot on his massive headline “Stealing Fire” tour, where he’ll be heading to cities like New York, Seattle, Orlando, San Francisco, and more. Unlike any other shows he’s done before, he, alongside VJNEURITE, will be delivering an unforgettable audio-visual experience with stunning visuals and lasers. Tickets are available here. Following a busy summer of festivals and headline shows, REZZ will be heading to III Points Festival and Paranormal Underground this October, with more to be announced.
