It's been a busy week for Alex Melia. After announcing the impending launch of his latest EP, Sandrock, on one of the hottest labels in underground bass music, UK's SLUG WIFE (and home of The Untz Festival acts Kursa, Seppa, and K.L.O), Reso headed to Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida to take on Tipper & Friends with his SLUG WIFE bretheren.
After a towering set, Melia is back on the grid to push the six-track EP which serves up a ton of different sounds from the elder statesman of the SLUG WIFE crew, who has been around the bass block, so to speak, with a vibrant career in drum and bass and dubstep preceding his addition to the label roster.
Reso serves up stuttering halftime with the opener, “Flexible Neck,” gutteral neuro-hop with “Gastroblapz,” CASPA-esque retro dubstep on “Gut Rot,” and almost FlyLo style dreaminess on “Loshun.”
Sandrock is a quick and dirty intro to the career of Reso, that spans as many genres as his multi-faceted EP. It's out today for all those unlucky enough to have missed him this weekend. But for our Stateside fans, you can expect to see much more Reso in the U.S. this summer.
