Rezz s involvement in the Toronto scene helped grow her gritty style. Events like Bassmentality and older shows at the legendary Guverment helped shape not only Rezz, but an era of electronic music producers who became inspired from early DJ college tours. Mass Manipulation is a commentary on how easily our minds can become manipulated by the things we consume in society. We consume heavily through the media, which, in turn, tries to curate our thoughts and dictate how we as humans are supposed to live and behave. This album plays off this idea and invites people to become hypnotized, allowing their brains to be manipulated by my music in the hope they might see things through a new perspective (perhaps an outer world viewpoint). One where everyone is free from the unrealistic expectations planet earth has drawn for them. A world of acceptance and hypnosis.
