Heavyweight UK dubstep producer Reso is hitting our shores on the eve of his new EP release Heavy Arms to ’smash yer face in’ with his bass driven sound that has been turning heads in the dubstep world and beyond. Reso is the soundtrack to a robot genocide.

To hear Reso download (or right click and save) this free half hour mix courtesy of Chew The Fat.

Grotty, liquid, dark, brutal and lush are all words used to describe the music of 25 year-old Reso. Such a contrasting set of adjectives are hard to understand but after a listen to a few of his productions you begin to understand why. A drummer at heart, his natural desire to ‘hit skin’ is ingrained in his brain and shines through on his digital programming and productions.

Reso’s aural identity is a densely layered, high octane tapestry rich with musical texture and colour that really sets him apart from the minimal sparseness of many of his fellow producers. Mary Anne Hobbs has been a fervent supporter of the young producer, commissioning a special 20-minute mix for her Radio One Breezeblock show back in 2007. Reso is certainly one of the most technically gifted producers to have sprouted from the dubstep scene and is fast gaining recognition from the techno, glitch and breaks scene for his own twisted take on the dubstep 130bpm-140bpm sound.

Recently Reso’s remix of Buraka Som Sistema and The Dubstitutes 2 Faced Rasta song (which have both been featured on the Fabriclive 42: freq nasty cd) alongside Reso’s own production If ya cant beat em have been gathering strong support from some of Dubstep’s key players such as Benga, N-Type and Rusko. He has also worked with the enigmatic producer Burial, engineering his critically acclaimed remix of Jamie Woon’s Wayfaring Stranger. With a busy DJ schedule, Reso has been up and down the country smashing dance floors from Newcastle to Nottingham and London, whilst regularly hitting mainland Europe. With a number of key releases on Storming Productions, Destructive and Urban Graffiti Reso has now become part of the Civil family and is currently writing his album for release in 2009.
