In 2015, MTV called her the "new queen of the dark techno scene", writing she had been "making electronic and techy beats for two years" at that point. EDM.com's Niko Sani wrote Rezz's "deliciously ominous, often alien-sounding bass music" helped gain her popularity within the electronic music scene in around 2016.{{cite web |last=Sani |first=Niko |url=https://edm.com/music-releases/rezz-spiral-album-listen |title=REZZ's Production Mastery Shines On Mesmerizing Third Album, "Spiral" |website=EDM.com |date=19 November 2021 |accessdate=6 February 2024}} Other music writers have referred to Rezz's music as sounding "dark",{{cite web |url=https://newsroom.spotify.com/2023-07-20/famed-dj-rezz-brings-her-dark-doomy-bass-sounds-to-can-you-hear-me/ |title=Famed DJ Rezz Brings Her Dark, Doomy Bass Sounds to 'Can You Hear Me' |work=For the Record |publisher=Spotify |date=20 July 2023 |accessdate=9 February 2024}} as well as "menacing", "mechanical", "haunting and industrial".{{cite magazine |last=Bain |first=Katie |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/rezz-dark-age-8511360/ |title=Rezz Expands Her Sonic Formula With New Song 'Dark Age': Exclusive |magazine=Billboard |date=14 May 2019 |accessdate=9 February 2024}} Spotify's outlet For the Record profiled Rezz, calling her "one of the most highly regarded producers of downtempo soundscapes", and saying she "strikes a firm balance between minimal original tech compositions and the all-heavy bass".
