Rezz (Isabelle Rezazadeh) — the queen of midtempo darkness — is one of the easier must-sees on the Coachella 2026 bill. Born in Kharkiv, Ukraine and now based near Niagara Falls, Canada, she’s been quietly reshaping bass music for a decade with a hypnotic, slow-motion take on techno and dubstep that hits like a cinematic shock.
Why she matters
– Her signature midtempo sound blends grinding arpeggios, eerie atmospheres and bone-rattling bass — part techno, part head-nod horror soundtrack. Early tracks like “Purple Gusher” set the vibe; more recent collabs with Zeds Dead and Underoath show how wide her reach is.

Fan buzz from the Coachella subreddit
– Plenty of longtime fans call her a ‘space mom’ and rave about the trance-like, hypnotic energy of her live shows.
– Multiple people said they’d prioritize her set this year after missing her in past lineups or conflicting schedules.
– Common reactions: frantic hype (“WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO!?”), nostalgia (headbanging during daytime sets), and straight-up love for collabs (deadmau5, Subtronics).
Quick take
If you like hard-hitting bass that leans cinematic and eerie rather than purely chaotic, Rezz is a set you’ll want to catch. Her stage presence — glasses, visuals, and those hypnotic tempos — turns a live show into an immersive little portal. Saturday’s a good day to get lost in it.
Tip for the field: expect loud, heavy low-end and tight visuals — front rows are a sensory overload in the best way. See you in the Rezzmau5 vortex.
