Canadian bass music legend and HypnoVizion label head Rezz releases her new goth-tinged single ‘Embers’ featuring vocalist Raven Gray. ‘Embers’ serves as the third and final single off Rezz’s forthcoming IT’S NOT A PHASE EP, due out this summer.
Swirling with the alternative rock references of her youth and the modern electronic tendencies that have driven her catalog, ‘Embers‘ is a masterful original that embodies the rocktronic genre Rezz has helped forge. Showing the diverse range of her upcoming EP, Rezz wraps Raven Gray‘s angsty vocals with dark guitars, haunting synths, and deep percussive kicks. An emotionally-wrought original from the pair of LGBTQ+ musicians, ‘Embers‘ is timed to coincide with Pride Month.
The third single off her upcoming IT’S NOT A PHASE EP, ‘Embers‘ follows Rezz‘s recent alt-rock anthem ‘Signal‘ with Grabbitz and grunge-tronic collaboration ‘Blue In The Face‘ with Shadient and fknsyd. Another sign that her goth roots are more than just a phase, ‘Embers’ is reminiscent of 2000s rock ballads with the crisp, modern electronic edge omnipresent throughout Rezz‘s productions.
Each track offering a glimpse into the nostalgic punk tones of Rezz‘s teen years complemented by the bass-heavy elements of her signature sound, IT’S NOT A PHASE captures the dichotomy of sonic influences that have defined her.
Regarding the track, Rezz said, “After I heard Raven’s vocal acapella, the instrumental flowed out of me very naturally and quickly. This is a different song than what people would expect from me, but it’s a song I personally love and I’m stoked for it to be a part of IT’S NOT A PHASE.”
Raven Gray added, “When I wrote the lyrics to this song, I was saturated in pain, yet surrounded by hope. ‘Embers’ is about using the glass in my life to build a home. Even when I was lost in the dark clinging onto nothing, there was always a spark in the ashes. I want everyone who listens to remember that. With massive gratitude and love to Rezz and her whole team on my first collaboration of the year I am honored to present ‘Embers’.”
Isabelle Rezazadeh, AKA Rezz, made her massive 2015 debut on Skrillex‘s label OWSLA and has since racked up tens and millions of streams, sold out legendary venues and headlined top festivals around the world. Her sound oozes with originality, striking a balance between bass heavy and minimalist tech production. In recent years she’s graced the cover of Billboard, earned the JUNO Award for Electronic Album of the Year for her Beyond the Senses EP, and in 2022 launched her own label imprint HypnoVizion.
The final piece of her forthcoming EP, Rezz continues to tap into her darker roots with ‘Embers‘, embracing the edgy, shadowy sounds reminiscent of her deep rooted love of punk and emo rock. Enter Rezz‘s rocktronic world and stream ‘Embers‘ ahead of her upcoming goth-themed IT’S NOT A PHASE EP.

The brainchild of renowned DJ/producer Loco Dice, founded back in 2007, Desolat’s reputation as an imprint for exceptional dancefloor-driven releases from across the house spectrum is near unparalleled – with ‘homegrown’ names such as Yaya and Francisco Allendes and talents such as wAFF and Traumer appearing alongside legends such as DJ Sneak and Luciano, and even tango hero Daniel Melingo since it’s inception.
However, with time comes knowledge of what works best for you and your projects, and with unprecedented factors changing the global norm, the decision to put the label on hold was made – ‘all good things need a break, and the time felt right to pause this great label’.
Focusing on his label En Colour and his own material during lockdown, while planning and plotting the subsequent movements for Desolat, the past few years have seen Dice biding his time and waiting for the right moment to re-introduce the label, and now ‘the music and the time feels right’.
Stepping up with the first artist EP on the label since late 2020, Colombian talent and Miami favourite Cortes drops his first music of the year as he unveils his impactful four-track ‘Dutchmaster’ EP this June.
Cortes Dutchmaster
Title cut ‘Dutchmaster’ opens the EP with an injection of energy as slinking drum grooves meet hooky, warped vocal interjections and bumping bass grooves for a driving cut boasting an abundance of vigour, while ‘Trickin’ uses harsher metallic percussion licks and skittering low-ends for another no-nonsense effort.
Next, ‘Section West’ fuses off-kilter samples and wonky synths with skippy drums, before ‘Eightysix’ wraps things up via resonant leads, restless arrangements and a chunky acid-tinged bassline at its heart.
Imagine Music Festival, the Southeast’s most immersive electronic festival, has announced the phase two lineup for its 2023 edition returning to Kingston Downs, GA from September 14-17.

Other relevant actions include the donation of food and tickets to disadvantaged people, the contribution of materials at the end of the festival and the commitment of 0% of waste in landfill (in 2022 MEO Kalorama was distinguished as an ECO EVENT by Valorsul, which identifies the festival as a zero waste to landfill event).
The WE ARE MEO KALORAMA community takes shape by celebrating the intersection between cultures, art, sustainability and the people who shape the city of Lisbon. Inspired by the 7 hills of Lisbon, WE ARE MEO KALORAMA shows the perfect blend of what it means to live in Lisbon in 2023: Portuguese and foreigners, visual artists, ceramists, tattooists, booksellers, skaters who find in the Portuguese capital the perfect inspiration and rhythm to create and share their art.
The result is 7 short films that will be available to watch on the festival’s social media channel in the coming weeks. The films tell the story of professional dancer Carlota, Ukrainian tattoo artist Sasha, French ceramist Cécile Mestelan, bookseller and founding partner of the iconic Livraria da Travessa, Rui Campos, the skaters who founded the women’s magazine Betesga Skate Magazine, English painter Helen Butler and the Batukadeiras Orchestra of Portugal, a project part of the Association of Cape Verdean’s Women in the Diaspora in Portugal.
The cast of the second edition of MEO Kalorama, which features national and international names, new and established, reinforces once again the care and meticulous curatorship which marked its debut edition. After its first edition in 2022, MEO Kalorama was awarded THE BEST FESTIVAL OF 2022 by Time Out magazine and Best New Iberian Festival and Best Concert by an International Artist in Portugal (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds) at the Iberian Festival Awards.

“I’ll Keep You High’ is a fresh and fun commercial dance tune perfect for summer clubs and radio. The Balearic drums on the drop set the groove with high energy bass and sing along vocals, making this record the perfect fusion. I can’t wait to play it at all the festivals during my summer tour and I hope all my fans and DJ colleagues like it as much as I do!”
