Reso is a rising star, gaining worldwide notoriety for his technoid inspired productions which often transcend the dubstep tag that many have easily slotted him into. Reso?s aural identity is a densely layered, high octane tapestry, rich with musical texture and colour, which sets him apart from the minimal sparseness of many of his fellow producers. With a busy DJ schedule, Reso has been smashing dancefloors from Newcastle to Nottingham and London, whilst regularly hitting Europe. With releases due on Storming Productions, Destructive, Urban Graffiti and Skud, Reso is definitely one to catch before he blows up!

Grotty, aggy, dark, brutal are all words used to describe the music of 25 year-old Alex Melia aka Reso. A big electronic music fan, Alex did work experience at Botchit & Scarper and would frequent Fabric regularly to catch the likes of Ed209 and Baobinga. The busy percussive motifs of breakbeat heavily influenced his sound, yet it was the emergent dubstep scene that captured his imagination and offered him a blank canvas.

A versatile producer and gifted DJ, Reso is a rising star, gaining worldwide notoriety for his technoid inspired productions which often transcends the dubstep tag that many have easily slotted him into. From the chugging metal guitars of Metal Slug, via the pulsating techno echoes of Identity, and into the bowels of the haunting, filtered sub bass workout of Holograms, Reso's aural identity is a densely layered, high octane tapestry, rich with musical texture and colour, which 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 January 2007. Reso has worked with Burial, engineering his critically acclaimed remix of Jamie Woon's Wayfaring Stranger. More recently Reso's remix of The Dubstitutes 2 Faced Rasta (Dubting) has been gathering strong support from some of Dubstep's key players such as Benga, N-Type, Walsh and Rusko.
