HypnoVizion, the visionary label founded by the talented Canadian producer and DJ Rezz, recently unveiled its first compilation album, Auditory Illusion Vol. 1. This 11-track collection is not just a compilation; it’s a heartfelt expression that showcases the artistry of rising industrial, experimental bass, and midtempo musicians from across North America and Europe. Featuring ten emerging talents alongside a reimagined version of Rezz’s beloved track ‘Selector’, this release embodies the unique and immersive creative identity that HypnoVizion stands for—one that is dark, immersive, and unconfined by traditional boundaries. Auditory Illusion Vol. 1 invites listeners on a fantastic journey through Rezz’s otherworldly curation, filled with hypnotic melodies and unconventional rhythms that resonate deeply. CABLE, who previously contributed to ‘Glass Veins’, returns with the electrifying ‘Midnight Animal’, while the diverse talent VVN delivers a striking vocal performance in ‘To Bleed Without Color’, weaving beauty through layers of distortion. The dystopian duo Blood Vision captures tension with their track ‘Arachnophobia’, and Bardea from Central New York pours industrial grit into a high-octane anthem with ‘METALHEAD’. Additionally, the conceptual musicmaker SHSTR explores textures in ‘Floating Sky’, Warsaw-based Voidnet delves into shadowy bass with ‘No Lights Ahead’, and French up-and-comer Rubi balances melody with a sense of menace in ‘No Exit’. The compilation also features VAKRM’s distinctive journey in ‘Stormbound’, MLOTIK’s powerful ‘DISRUPT’, and the boundary-testing sounds of Danish producer Voliik with ‘Careless’. At the core of this compilation lies ‘Selector’, a rejuvenated version of Rezz’s 2016 fan favorite. Much like her earlier works ‘Contorted’ and ‘Telepathy’, this innovative version ‘Selector’ is a testament to the creative genius that has set Rezz apart for nearly a decade. After a remarkable year marked by the release of her fifth album, As The Pendulum Swings, the debut of PORTAL, and her seventh annual REZZ ROCKS event, Rezz continues to uplift those around her, which opens a very nurturing space for creators and curators alike within the world of experimental electronic music. Since the label came into existence in October 2022, HypnoVizion has become a beacon for innovative electronic music, driven by Rezz’s passion and vision. Furthermore, the label has already garnered a reputation for its forward-thinking, alternative releases, amassing tens of millions of streams. Its catalog includes established artists like What So Not, 1788-L, Super Future, and Lucille Croft, as well as emerging talents like EDDIE, X1-Y2, fknsyd, and FISE. With Auditory Illusion Vol. 1, HypnoVizion not only continues to expand its legacy but also supports a new generation of extraordinary electronic producers who are shaping the future of sound, installing a sense of community and shared artistic expression along the way.Rezz’s HypnoVizion Unveils Great Compilation, ‘Auditory Illusion Vol. 1’
