WHAT IT IS: REZZ is the moniker of 25-year-old Canadian DJ/producer Isabelle Rezazadeh. Raised by Ukrainian/Persian parents, she discovered her love for EDM after sneaking into Toronto nightclubs in her teens. Starting her DJ career at 16, she’s released a series of projects under Skrillex’s and Deadmau5’s labels and garnered millions of streams, sold out venues and headlined festivals around the world before dropping her fourth—and first independent—EP, Beyond The Senses, in 2019. Oozing originality with her genre-bending electronic works, REZZ strikes a sharp balance between bass-heavy and minimal tech compositions. 2020 has marked a banner year for the producer, who recently released her first major-label single, “Someone Else,” through RCA.

WHAT IT IS: Bay Area collective Peach Tree Rascals—made up of producer/mixer Dominic Pizano, vocalists Issac Pech, Tarrek Abdel-Khaliq and Joseph Barros and creative director Jorge Olazaba—met in high school and started self-releasing music in 2018. Channeling their first-generation immigrant upbringings into their creative mentality, the five-piece writes, records and produces all their music, while conceptualizing and filming their own music videos. Blending alt-R&B, alt-jazz, pop, rock and hip-hop, the Peach Tree Rascals confront self-acceptance, disillusioned realities and the pursuit of fervent aspirations in their music. With the success of their single “Mariposa,” the L.A.-based group dove into 2020 with “Things Won’t Go My Way,” their first release under 10K/Homemade Projects.
