2025 DANCE RECORDING OF THE YEAR | REZZ, Virtual Riot & One True God | | The JUNO Awards

One True God

Canadian DJ and electronic musician produces a shadowy-dynamic style house and industrial dense mid-tempo bass music under the denomination One True God. The name derives from Satanic religious notions of enlightenment: we are our own God. The project’s dark, ominous, and energetic tracks have just begun to break through the underground, getting recognition for their signature bass sounds. OTG visuals inject metaphoric and subliminal messaging for those with eyes to see.

REZZ

With a fanbase consisting of millions including giants like Billie Eilish, Skrillex, and deadmau5, REZZ has become a dominant force in the EDM scene and beyond. REZZ’s ability to sell out iconic venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre, where she holds her annual ‘REZZ Rocks,’ and The Brooklyn Mirage, is a testament to her dedicated following and power to captivate massive audiences. Her collaborations with deadmau5 as REZZMAU5, including “Infraliminal” and “Hypnocurrency,” and their spellbinding live performances at Tomorrowland, HARD Summer, and VELD Music Festival, have further solidified her influential status. REZZ expands her musicality across genres beyond her signature midtempo soundscapes, being one of the pioneers who bridged the gap between rock and electronic. She’s collaborated with names including Grabbitz on their hit “Someone Else,” that reached #15 on Alt Radio in the US and #1 in Canada, Phantogram, PVRIS, Dove Cameron, and Subtronics, showcasing her versatility to connect with broader audiences, and went on to receive The JUNO Award for Electronic Album of the Year in 2020. Virtual Riot’s meticulous sound design has opened doors to collaborations with industry titans, including Skrillex and Swae Lee on “Mixed Signals” and Justin Bieber on his Grammy-nominated record “2 Much.”
