I'd love to know why she and her fans seem to promote Satanic symbols, imagery and art ???? Ps #PLUR : ) #Pride🏳️🌈
This interview allows me to relate to Rezz more. As my favorite edm artist, I glorify her so much and it feels great to know she as well goes through similar struggles as her fans. ❤ I love you space mommy 😵💫
Shes always “just chilling”. Love her 😭❤️
I really can’t begin to explain how helpful the timing of this interview being released was. Rezz, I appreciate your vulnerability and you sharing what you’ve been going through. Your words assured me that I’m exactly where I’m meant to be right now, and to trust the process. I’m so glad you had the time to reflect on what’s best for you and your balance, and that you’re surrounded by people who are also prioritizing your well-being.
my favorite artist being vulnerable?! i love you space mom and am grateful to get the opportunity to watch this interview!
Lauren - tysm for having our Space Mom Rezz on here. She's absolutely the best and getting to see her in this light makes us love her even more!

Im so glad
"your nearly there keep going keep going, it will all be ok in the end" porter. thank you for sharing Rezz, this is helping me :)
Rezz I saw you in 2018 in Seattle, my first rave, I had no IDEA about what music could be like until that day. You inspired me to learn music production, and I've been a happier than ever raver ever since! Saw you so many times, love what you do, take care of yourself!
This was uploaded 3 days before my Father passed away. I had a random wave of unbearable sadness rush through me while I was at college, so bad that I left in the middle of class. When I got home I couldn't just stay in my house, I had to go outside and clear my head. While walking twards my parks lake, I was listening to this podcast just as it was uploaded that same morning. Rezz, while talking about her struggles with insomnia, had mentioned the word "grief" a lot, even though she wasn't experiencing it herself at the time. And that, to me, was a gentle warning that it was my father's time to go. He had been in the hospital for about a week and a half up to that point, in the ICU for various organ failures. 3 days later, he passed away early that Sunday morning. He was only 49. I guess what I'm trying to say is, this podcast was uploaded at just the correct time. My father knew how much I loved Rezz, he was the one that got me to go to Nightmare on Rezz Street at Red Rocks in 2022 even though it was already sold out for months, it was my birthday present. Having this as like a heads up from the universe just made me feel so comforted and seen... while I am still grieving him to this day, I am forever thankful for this full-circle moment. Rezz will forever be a positive omen for me, and I can remember my father through her. Thank you Kittens, thank you Rezz. Rest in Peace, my dear father ❤️

So touching, hope that you are well!
Appreciate you taking the time to come play at touch bass in Perth West Aus didn’t realise Rezz has been through so much to get to where she is now, best experience of my life
I have always enjoyed Rezz's music. I have always felt like she had some good energy... After watching this interview I now feel so much more connected to her. The way she explained the psychosis and anxiety/depression and it being the most difficult thing she has ever experienced touched me in the soul. I too experienced something very similar around the same time. She explained it so well!
i literally saw her in february for her spiral tour, i was soooo sick at that time too. comfort in knowing i wasn’t alone and i’m so glad she’s doing better!! you both are so wonderful ✌️🫶🙏🌈❤️
Your music heals us REZZ. Thanks for going through it so we don’t have to. We love you 🖖🏻
If I could get a one-on-one with _REZZ,_ I'd let her know how much I respect her talent as a performer, producer, DJ, etc... The only "label" that I ever associated with her is *_Awesome!_* Here's hoping that she's around for as long as she wants; and may nobody ever try to change her!
Rezz, thank you for everything. Your music truly is a healing music and it gives me so much strength to carry on through all the difficulties life likes to throw at me.
We fucking love you Isabelle

Rezz is my favourite music producer right up there with Deadmau5, she was my top Spotify artist of last year by far and i didn't learn untill recently that she was a woman. I think that shows that your work speaks for itself, not needing to put lables of everything. I loved to hear her in this podcast but i feel like "Kittens" focused waaay too much on labels. Just be you, be the best at what you do and do not focus on all the semantics. Love you Rezz.
REZZ Is amazing. This is really awesome. She really keeps quiet.
Thank you Kittens for bringing Rezz
REZZ I LOVE YOU

I love you Space Mom! Like not sexually, but like musically and spiritual. This is so relatable, I have insomnia and anxiety too, the struggle is real.
Love this interview
I pray for you Rezz! I overcame lots of mental problems because of your music. Hope you have a upcoming and great music career more in your life :) Peace and love! Ps. Fuck… I am sorry to hear that you had to go through severe insomnia. For me, I was prescribed with ambien. It has already been a month taking it. Honestly fml i dont know what is gonna happen to me😂….
Fantastic interview, thank u for having her on !! Small feedback, have u tried using a de-esser, like ozone's, for the audio? I just thought the s sounds were really sharp sometimes, but maybe my ear are just sensitive

She doesn't butt on my KZread there's 20 more interviews underneath of yours
What she said about being in a loving relationship tho
Nobody wants an argumentative relationship. They just want control, and the threat of an argument is leverage.
Great interview! She's an amazing artist. Her stuff is so dope and grind-y. With that NIN "closer" slinky vibe (or whatever.. beats and feel influenced by vapor wave etc). The "vocal fry" speak-style, and the words "like" and "literally" in normal relaxed conversation (as a verbal crutch) is really distracting. Sheesh. Sorry! I know that's how the kids do, but it can begin to sound sort of insane, objectively. Be just as rhythmical and efficient in your conversation as you are with your music, and everyone will benefit. Count those beanz.
A+!! #1 view provider Promo'SM!
rezz likes demons in your brain kids
I love rezz but the identification bullshit is so extra lmao.

U have to realize how hypocritical it is to say you love someone then shit on them explaining who they are. Unless you don’t love who you are as a person and are just here projecting in which case, I hope you find some healing and self worth🖤
She doesn't even know how to mix live.
Repent ✝️✝️
ice cold showers are so good for your vascular system
God we have to talk about pronouns
Why are you just listing your pronouns like thats something normal to do? its not.
