Rezz Drops Some Serious Unreleased Heat At Day For Night In Houston: Watch
Day for Night in Houston, Texas took place this weekend with some seriously mixed results. After the first day was plagued with production issues and an insane rain storm which lead to a dangerous situation at the entrance of the indoor venue of the festival, many were wary of returning back for the final day of the festival. Still an unbelievable lineup on Sunday including Justice, Solange, Phantogram, Thom Yorke and of course Rezz helped bring people out.
Rezz Gets Things Going Early
Rezz has an incredibly early spot on the main stage. This was disappointing but also understandable considering the acts booked for later in the evening. Still even though she took the main stage at 3 p.m. her turn out was impressive to say the least. The stage was packed from rail to front of the house with fans ready to hear selects off of ‘Mass Manipulation’ and many more.
Rezz of course delivered a masterful set full of powerful hits from her debut album as well as singles from various artists including G-Jones who shut down the Yellow Stage the night before. In her second to last song Rezz announced that she had an unreleased track for the crowd and people went wild. We were able to catch almost the entire track below. We cannot wait to hear new Rezz to wrap up 2017 and to begin 2018.
What Happened To Day For Night
Looking back, this 2017 edition wound up being the second-to-last time Day for Night lit up downtown Houston. The art-and-music festival, known for pairing massive digital installations with a genre-spanning lineup, ran one more edition in December 2018 before quietly folding for good. Founder Omar Afra stepped away from the festival’s operations in 2019 after sexual assault allegations against him became public, and Day for Night never returned. It’s a bummer of an ending for a fest that, for a few years, gave Houston one of the most ambitious lineups in the country.
Rezz, meanwhile, has only kept climbing since that Sunday afternoon set. She’s become one of the defining voices in bass music, known for the same ominous, glasses-wearing mystique she brought to that early slot, and her live shows now headline the exact kind of festivals Day for Night was trying to become. Funny how that unreleased ID teased mid-set is basically Rezz’s whole MO: always cooking up something new before anyone else catches on.
