Reso´s third release for Civil Music is two slabs of musical genius that simultaneously moves a whole spectrum of electronic genres forward through five new tracks while further cementing his place as the overlord of hi-tech dubstep. On the ‘Temjin’ EP, wobble, hypercrunk, breaks, wonky, hip hop, and d’n’b all receive the deep Reso treatment, with the evident high grade musicality, incredible skill, intricate programming and wildly diverse references that place him at the peak of a new breed of electronic producers. Lead track ‘Otacon’, plus back-up ‘Armored Core’, are the big ones for the dubstep massive to get crazy within the dance, and fans of previous Civil A-Sides ‘If You Can’t Beat Em’ and ‘Heavy Arms’ will not be disappointed. Meanwhile, ‘Hemisphere’ is a liquid epic, lush, pulsing and driven, with soulful intelligent atmospherics made to cocoon and warm throughout. ‘Hyperglide’ twitches and skips into an incredible future hip hop hypercrunk monster, programmed to perfection, its uncontrollable beats spilling effortlessly over hypercolour bass synths to set a new bench-mark. On ‘Channel Pressure’, our hero touches down in LA with dangerously laid back lolloping future funk tailor-made for a Brainfeeder soundclash, on a track which has already put Fly-Lo’s west coast crew on high alert to Reso’s imminent takeover. The EP wraps up with the killer d’n’b-redefining ‘Mind Games’ the final drum break of which will make people cry on the dance floor then explode. Boasting styles unheard made unmistakable, this is the sonic counterpart to roaring robotic futurism. Reso’s hybrid of rising ambience, hyper-beats and speaker-busting tech-basslines feels more suited to a post apocalyptic Tokyo than the grey concrete and red brick of most dubstep. A truly visual experince, ‘Temjin’s mech-mania induced synthesesia conjures images of neon-tinged metallic futurescapes, hulking autobots and violent bass machismo. Drawing fans from all realms of the electronic spectrum, Reso’s emotive and unique new rhythmic possibilities and perfectly chaotic programming make him essential listening for fans of everyone from Skream to Thom Yorke to Rustie to Bukem and beyond Tracklist: A1.
