Until she moved to San Francisco earlier this year, Aida Rez was one of Vancouver's sharpest new DJs. Though she cut her teeth in Vancouver's long-running minimal scene, her set at Bass Coast was more like a non-chronological journey through dance music history, starting dubbed-out and hypnotic before unspooling into psychedelic acid techno and vintage rave tracks with stabs and hoover basslines. Her mixing was impeccable, skills she learnt supporting Romanian minimal artists. Not even a sound technician knocking the tonearm on one of her records could interrupt her flow and momentum. She packed more sounds and ideas into her set than almost anyone else I saw at the festival. It felt like a big step for an artist on the rise.
